In wheat, stem water soluble carbohydrates (WSC), composed mainly of fructans, are the major carbon sources for grain filling during periods of decreasing photosynthesis or under drought stress after anthesis. Here, in a field drought experiment, WSC levels and associated enzyme activities were followed in different stem segments (peduncle, penultimate internode, lower parts of stem, and sheath...

Abstract Thousand grain weight (TGW) is an important determinant of rice yield, and correlates with size, plumpness number per panicle. In rice, there are fewer association mapping studies relating traits using both SSR SNP markers. this study, in order to find robust markers associated TGW trait mine elite accessions we investigated the across six environments a natural population consisted 46...

Ten durum wheat genotypes were studied in a total of 10 field trials in three different regions of Spain, associated with two latitudes (north and south) under both irrigated and rainfed conditions during the 1998 and 1999 growing seasons. Different technological and commercial quality parameters were studied: thousand kernel weight (TKW), test weight, vitreousness, ash content, protein content...

in order to effects of sulfur and manure on grain yield, yield components, and some physiological traits of corn hybrid ksc 704 in calcareous soils of kermanshah province, a factorial experiment was carried out based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. sulfur fertilizer in four levels 0, 250, 500 and 750 kg ha-1 and manure in four levels 0, 4, 8 and 12 t ha-1 were app...

the effect of perlite different amounts on grain yield and water use efficiency in winter wheat (cultivar of zarrin) in ghorveh (kermanshah province), was studied in 2007-2008. field experiment using completely randomized block design with seven treatments (p0, p1, p2, p3, p4, p5 and p6) including: zero (reference), 75, 150, 300, 600, 1200 and 2400 kg.ha-1 with four replicates was conducted. ir...

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...

abstract the objective of this study was to assess the effects of few arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on the growth and yield indices of two wheat varieties in a saline soil (ec=10/1 dsm-1). a factorial experiment with completely randomized design with four replications was conducted to investigate the effects of three levels of fungal inoculation (non inoc...
