Elevated CO2 often increases grain yield in wheat by enhancing grain number per ear, which can result from an increase in the potential number of florets or a reduction in the death of developed florets. The hypotheses that elevated CO2 reduces floret death rather than increases floret development, and that grain size in a genotype with more grains per unit area is limited by the rate of grain ...

plant photosynthetate partitioning is important in seed yield formation. in this research, in order to study grain filling procedure of chickpea in the presense of drought stress and nitrogen (n) fertilizer on remobilization rate, final grain weight and grain yield were measured. experiment was performed in an split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. droug...

concinciding of wheat growth in post-anthesis period by water deficiency can result in reduction of current photosynthesis. in this circumstance stem-stored carbohydrate from pre-anthesis period had an important role in supporting assimilates for growing grain. an experiment was conducted in 2007-8 in experimental farm of arsanjan islamic azad university, in order to investigation the quantity ...

Salt stress is one of the major factors limiting crop productivity worldwide. Grain amaranth is new crop with high yield potential and good nutrition value which can be a good substitute for salt-sensitive crops in saline areas. This research was conducted to evaluate different level of salinity and applied salinity stress at several growth stages on some morphological and physiological traits ...

proportionality of wheat cultivars growth patterns to the area’s agro climatic condition will improve crop production. the objective of this study was identifying the phenology of a wide range of wheat varieties in iran, as well as evaluating the relationship between phenology and drought stress tolerance under late season drought stress. in this experiment, 36 wheat genotypes were studied unde...
