two different propagation procedures including aeroponics and soil systems were compared for the minitubers production in potato. the minitubers were evaluated for several quality characters. the plant materials were from three cultivars, agria, marfona and savalan. the plantlets were grown in aeroponics and soil production systems at a plant density of 100 plants per m-2 and stem length, root ...

in order to evaluate the effect of different irrigation intervals on some morphophysiological traits of sesame (sesamum indicum l.), an experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions during 2009. the experiment was based on a randomized completely design with three replications. treatments included four irrigation intervals with 4, 8, 12 and16 days intervals and two ecotypes of sesame (ka...

there is little information available on morphological and agronomic traits, as well aschemical compositions of iranian mint landraces. this study was conducted to investigate themorphological, agronomic and oil content characteristics of iranian mint landraces using twelvelandraces, three of which belong to mentha longifolia, and the remaining, mentha spicata l, originatedfrom central regions ...

asparagus (asparagus officinalis l.) is an ancient vegetable originated from europe, asia and africa. the germplasm of a. officinalis in iran is limited, with only some individual plants have been found in taleghan mountains. in order to evaluate the morphological characteristics of this valuable vegetable, 58 individual plants from taleghan population were studied and compared with mary washin...

General models of plant vascular architecture, based on scaling of pipe diameters to remove the length dependence of hydraulic resistance within the xylem, have attracted strong interest. However, these models have neglected to consider the leaf, an important hydraulic component; they assume all leaves to have similar hydraulic properties, including similar pipe diameters in the petiole. We exa...

BACKGROUND: Alternative furrow irrigation method is an effective procedure to reduce the amount of irrigation water in arid areas for economic production. OBJECTIVES: Assessment seed yield, its components and morphological characteristics of corn affected different level of irrigation regime and super absorbent polymer (SAP) under warm and dry climate con...

in order to study the effects of different sowing dates by some of companion crops on the weeds control, morphological traits and yield of corn sc 504, a field experiment was carried out of research field at tabriz university during 2010 growing season. treatments were arranged in a factorial experiment using randomized complete blocks design with three replicatins. factors was include four lev...

This study was aimed to determine the genetic variance of several F2 population traits maize, broad heritability values and phenotypic correlations between yields other quantitative traits. The method used is experimental method. experiment designed in a randomized block design, with 6 replications. number treatments 4 populations, namely F2, Sinta Unram, hybrid NK212 NK7328. Each planted rows,...
