Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus L.), a popular bulbous cut flower, has high demand in both domestic (Pakistani) as well as international markets. Five potential, exotic cultivars of gladiolus, ‘Cantate’, ‘Corveira’, ‘Eminence’, ‘Essential’ and ‘Fado’ were evaluated to determine the cultivar effects on yield and quality, to compare their relative performance and recommend their suitability for...

in order to study the effects of salicylic acid and selenium application on yield and yield components of rainfed wheat cultivars, a field experimental was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with four replications in the research station of islamic azad university- arak branch, iran in 2010-2011 growing season. the treatments were salicylic acid and selenium. sal...

The article presents the results of studying influence quantitative traits on barley plant performance. Thirty typical plants were selected for each 28 genotypes spring two-row cultivars and their height, productive tillering capacity, spike length, number weight kernels from main spike, 1000-kernel weight, performance measured. As a result, we found significant positive correlations between ca...

To identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the traits which could be used as the selection index for increasing of grain yield, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Norstar and Zagros cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The measured characters consisted of peduncle weight, ...

An experiment was carried out using 20 native Dendrobium orchids in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with three replications at the Orchidarium of Landscape, Ornamental and Floriculture Division, HRC, BARI, Gazipur during the period January 2007 to June 2007 to estimate genetic variability, genetic parameters and correlation coefficient among different flower components. Highly significant va...

The molecular basis of the barley dominant Hooded (K) mutant is a duplication of 305 bp in intron IV of the homeobox gene Bkn3. A chemical mutagenesis screen was carried out to identify genetical factors that participate in Bkn3 intron-mediated gene regulation. Plants from recurrently mutagenized KK seeds were examined for the suppression of the hooded awn phenotype induced by the K allele and,...

Background: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most important cereal crop throughout India and other parts of world. In late sowing conditions variety selection, seed rate row spacing an factor for a better yield. Higher narrow are used in as compared to normal conditions. Methods: The present field experiment was conducted at Students Research Farm, Khalsa College, Amritsar, Punjab, during ra...
