breeders will probably concentrate more effort on other agronomic and chemical characteristics of this plant. A knowledge of the genetic behavior of oil content, protein content and seed coat type should be helpful in the selection of high oil and protein lines. The purpose of this paper is to report inheritance studies of oil content, protein content and rough and smooth seed coat type along w...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different sowing time on seed yield and quality in under used medicinal plant babchi. The study was carried out for 12 months from January to December. Results showed that the seeds sown in November month recorded the maximum seed yield and quality parameters followed by October month than other months. November month recorded the maximum fi...

in order to evaluate of yield and yield components of chickpea genotypes, path analysis set to facilitate the selection of high yielding varieties in limited irrigation. research was canducted in 2010-2011 growing season at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, by using seven drought tolerante genotypes (recommended from a previous research) in a randomized complete...

for determining the oil content, seed and fruit characteristics of ethiopian jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions of ethiopia namely southern nation nationalities peoples regional state, amhara region, tigria region, oromia region and benishangul gumuz regions, where jatropha is found abundantly. a total of 23 zones, 36 weredas and 40 sampling sites were considered from...

introduction the demand for food and agricultural products are increasing in a line of population increasing in the world (alexandratos, 2003). it is possible to increase the quality and quantity of agricultural products via extending the farms and producing more products (astaaraei and koocheki, 1995). environmental problems caused by synthetic fertilizers and the high levels of producing and ...

BACKGROUND Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is an important oil crop in the world, and increasing its oil content is a major breeding goal. The studies on seed structure and characteristics of different oil content rapeseed could help us to understand the biological mechanism of lipid accumulation, and be helpful for rapeseed breeding. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we report on the seed ult...
