Correlation coefficient and path analysis studies was conducted with eight parents and their 28 F1 crosses for twelve component characters including seed yield and revealed significant positive association of pods per plant, harvest index and clusters per plant with seed yield in parental generation whereas in F1 generation, significant positive association of clusters per plant, pods per plant...

Dust seeds are the smallest seeds in angiosperms weighing just about a few micrograms. Th ese seeds are characteristic of most orchids, and several studies have been performed on seed features, fecundity and dispersal of orchid dust seeds. In this study we examine seed features, seed production and seed dispersal in another plant group with dust seeds, the Pyroleae (Monotropoideae, Ericaceae), ...

In order to study the effect of vermicompost and nitrogen fixing bacteria on seed yield, yield components of seed and essential oil content of coriander (Coriandrum sativum), an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of Agriculture Company of Ran in Firouzkuh of Iran in 2012...

Screen house trials consisting five plant extracts including a synthetic fungicide (Azadirachta indica, Jatropha curcas Linn., Alium sativum, Ocimum gratissimum, Chromolaena odorata and Benlate ) were tested at the Taraba State University(TSU) Research Farm centre (Ardokoa: Latitude 08 0 53′N and Longitude 11 0 19′E) in a completely randomized design arrangement. The results of the screen house...

Plant reproduction in red clover requires cross-fertilization via insect pollination. However, the influences of visitation rate and timing on maximizing ovule utilization are yet to be determined. We aimed study rate, flowering stage, self-incompatibility reproductive success. applied hand honey bee pollination eight cultivars with two ploidy levels released between 1964 2001. In pollination, ...

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...

this experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with three ‎replications with 10 barley cultivars in dryland research station of northern khorasan (shirvan) ‎in 2004-2005 growing season. results indicated that there was significant differences among the ‎lines in terms of the stand percentage, days to emergence, days to heading, days to maturity, plant ‎height, number of ...

this experiment was carried out in experimental farm of agricultural faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during 2010. the design was split plot with three replications. main plots were the medicinal plant species consist of: blond psyllium (plantago ovate forssk.), clasping peperweed (lepidium perfoilatum l.), qodumeh shirazi (alyssum homolocarpum l.) dragon's head (lalementia iberi...

Orchid seeds, which are produced in abundance, are particularly small and light. Some orchid species are anemochorous, i.e., bear seeds that are dispersed by wind. To characterize the seeds of Japanese orchids, we measured the size of seeds and embryos of 68 Japanese orchid species. Most orchid seeds had a length of 0.3 to 2 mm and a width of 0.07 to 0.2 mm. Embryo length and width were 0.1 to ...
