Cabbage belonging to Brassicaceae family is one of the most important vegetables cultivated worldwide. The economically important part of cabbage crop is head, formed by leaves which may be of splitting and non-splitting types. Cabbage varieties showing head splitting causes huge loss to the farmers and therefore finding the molecular and structural basis of splitting types would be helpful to ...

in order to study the effect of sowing date and plant density on some quantitative traits and yield of sugar beet genotypes a field experiment was carried out at sugar beet seed production research station of karaj in 2006. treatments arranged in a split, split plot experiment based on completely randomized block design with four replications. the main factors were two sowing dates as 14 april ...

The objective of this work was to morphologically characterize 15 banana cultivars and assess the physical and chemical characteristics of their fruits at two maturation stages, unripe (pre-climacteric) and ripening. The plants were evaluated regarding their pseudostem height and diameter, petiole length, leaf blade length, width and length-to-width ratio. The cultivar Ouro had fruits with lowe...

It has been observed in this laboratory (15) that the normally polar distribution of callus growth on tobacco stem explants becomes non-po'ar in the presence of low levels of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA), while the amount of callus growth is not diminished. It was thought that this phenomenon might reflect a specific inhibition by TIBA of the polar transport of auxin. Subsequent studies (10...

Abstract The cut foliage constitutes an important part of the floricultural production since it represents a fundamental element in flower arrangements, and ferns are complementary elements most used by florists. In Argentina, there is native material that has not been yet domesticated could have suitable characteristics for use. objective work was to determine potential use 15 as through quali...

A model for estimating the area of individual leaves (LA) by employing their dimensions was developed chrysanthemum. Further hypotheses were tested: (a) LA estimation is improved considering blade length (Lb) rather than leaf (L), and (b) a reasonable can be attainable L in conjunction to shape trait, which cultivar dependent. For development, six cultivars employed (1500 total), while validati...

Application of gibberellin A(53) (GA(53)) to short-day (SD)-grown spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) plants caused an increase in petiole length and leaf angle similar to that found in plants transferred to long days (LD). [(2)H] GA(53) was fed to plants in SD, LD, and in a SD to LD transition experiment, and the metabolites were identified by gas chromatography with selected ion monitoring. After ...

Abstract Genetic improvement of okra for yield is significant because the nutritional, economic and health benefits inherent in it to overcome low genetic potential existing varieties environmental factors which are major constraints yield. Therefore, this study was carried out understand nature yield, its association with components on selection can be made determine effect different years gai...

The present study entitled “Study of variation in quantitative traits poplar (Populus deltoides) clones different environments” was undertaken the Department Tree Improvement and Genetic Resources, Dr. Y. S. P. U. H. F., Nauni- Solan 173230 (H.P.). three experimental sites namely 1) Dhaula Kuan, RH&TS, Dist. Sirmaur (H. P.), 2) Laddhowal farm, PAU, Ludhiana (Punjab) 3) Naganji nursery, Naun...
