BOWERS, G. R., Jr., and R. M. GOODMAN. 1979. Soybean mosaic virus: Infection of soybean seed parts and seed transmission. Phytopathology 69: 569-572. The presence of soybean mosaic virus (SMV) (Illinois severe isolate) in cotyledons, and embryos from immature seeds of both Midwest and Merit. reproductive plant parts was compared in field-grown, manually inoculated In mature seeds, infectious vi...

Phytic acid (myo-inositol-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexakisphosphate or Ins P(6)) typically represents approximately 75% to 80% of maize (Zea mays) seed total P. Here we describe the origin, inheritance, and seed phenotype of two non-lethal maize low phytic acid mutants, lpa1-1 and lpa2-1. The loci map to two sites on chromosome 1S. Seed phytic acid P is reduced in these mutants by 50% to 66% but seed t...

The productivity of the faba bean has declined in Ethiopia, owing to poor management practices, such as blanket fertilisation. In 2018, a field experiment was conducted Nitisol soil during main cropping season Northwestern determine amount chemical fertiliser and Rhizobium inoculant be used for optimum yield within economic feasibility. consisted factorial combination five rates blended NPSZnB ...

Abstract Maize ( Zea mays L.) is a major cereal crop worldwide and demands N fertilizers, which can be replaced partially by plant growth‐promoting bacteria. In Brazil, inoculants carrying Azospirillum brasilense strains Ab‐V5 Ab‐V6 have exponentially grown, but quantitative study on the replacement of fertilizer still missing. Under greenhouse conditions, we investigated effects A. cells metab...

effect of free and symbiotic nitrogen fixing bacteria on seed and seedling produced seeds under deficit irrigation was conducted in laboratory and field experiments in 2006. in laboratory of karaj’s seed and plant research and certificate institute an experiment was conducted based on factorial in form of completely randomized design with four replications and in field’s of islamic azad univers...

Nothing is more important for effective nodulation of legumes that the availability of sufficient numbers of an infective strain of rhizobia in the root zone of seedlings. In some cases, the soil will contain sufficient numbers of infective rhizobia but modern approaches to the use of genetically superior strains of rhizobia practically demands the use of some means of inoculation, thus raising...

aimed at reducing the consumption of chemical fertilizers on crop production and according to important role of micro-nutrients such as iron, on increase performance of these products, nanocomposites effect of iron on yield and yield components of wax bean genotypes inoculated with rhizobium bacteria during experimental factorial randomized complete block design with three replications was cond...

Downy mildew, caused by Peronospora parasitica Pers. ex Fr., is an important disease of canola that has implications during early seedling establishment. The fungus invades young seedlings and severe infection results in premature defoliation. In worst cases, the systemic infection may even kill the seedlings. Current commercial varieties of canola are very susceptible to downy mildew. Therefor...

This research aims to evaluate the effects of seed scarification on five perennialAstragalus species including A. effusus, A. vegetus, A. subsecundus, A. brevidens and A.cyclophyllon in the field conditions. Seeds were sown after scarification with sandpaper byhand in the field of Homand Absard Rangeland Research Station, Damavand, Iran in autumnin 2008. The seeds were sown using split plot des...
