this study was aimed to study the ways of removing dormancy period and accelerating pre-sowing tuber germination to provide simple tools to apply by farmers. for this purpose, intact tubers, exposed tubers to released ethylene and sliced tubers were examined in respect to germination characters, bud length, starch, anthocyanin and chlorophyll contents and amylase activity. relative amount of an...

eight faba bean genotypes and one local (barkat) as control were evaluated for three successive years (2000-2003) in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with four replications at gorgan agricultural research station. this study was carried out to determine the morphological traits, yield components and yield stability to select the best genotypes. simple and combined analysis of variance ...

in order to study the effect of foliar zinc spraying on photosynthetic pigments and yield of chickpea under water stress conditions, a factorial experiment carried out based on randomized completely block design (rcbd) with three replications in university of mohaghegh ardabili agricultural research station in 2012. the treatments consisted of three levels of irrigation (irrigated at planting, ...

Abstract The experiments were conducted in the Laboratory of Tissue culture/Department Forestry/College Agriculture and Forestry/the University Mosul. To propagate three citrus rootstocks (Citrus aurantium L., Citrumelo swingle , Cariso 35 (C35))In vitro . During Initiation stage, single nodes planted on a solid MS medium supplemented with five concentrations BA (0, 1, 2, 3, 4 mg L -1 ). After ...

understanding of physiological responses of salt tolerance might be lead to identify main salt tolerance mechanisms and essential approaches for improving grain yield stability, and also to select salt tolerant wheat cultivars. thus, the effects of salinity were investigated on grain yield and some of the characteristics related to salt tolerance. six wheat cultivars (roshan, kavir, karchia, ga...

drought stress is the most important factor that reduces yield in crops including chickpea and causes some changes in seed composition. this study was performed in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and starter nitrogen fertilizer on four cultivars of chickpea. experiment was performed in a split-factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. drought stre...

Generally, primed seeds produce larger and heavier plants than non-primed seeds. This may be simply due to rapid emergence and extension of leaf growth, or the influence of other physiological processes. The effect of seed pretreatment with salicylic acid (SA) on some physiological and photosynthetic characteristics of the safflower seedlings, cv. Goldasht, was examined under field condition. T...
