Cultivated soybean (Glycine max L.) cv. Dunbar (PI 552538) and wild G. soja (PI 326582A) exhibited significant differences in root architecture and root-related traits. In this study, phenotypic variability for root traits among 251 BC2F5 backcross inbred lines (BILs) developed from the cross Dunbar/PI 326582A were identified. The root systems of the parents and BILs were evaluated in controlle...

in order to determine the effect of different irrigation intervals on some morphophysiological traits of basil (ocimum basilicum l.), an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications under greenhouse conditions during 2010. treatments included five irrigation intervals with 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 days intervals and two ecotypes of basil (gr...

a greengouse experiment was conducted to evaluation of salinity stress on growth parameters of two olive cultivars during 2013-2014 at agricultural and natural resources research center of tehran. in the experiment, effects of five levels of irrigation water salinity including 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 ds.m-1 were evaluated on ʻzardʼ and ʻmissionʼ olive cultivars under soilless culture. data showed th...

this research evaluated the effects of gibberellin (ga3) and abscisic acid (aba) on emergence capability, rate of emergence, vigor index and some physiological characters of chickpea seedling (cicer arietinum l.) in a field experiment (as split) under dry and irrigated conditions. seeds were primed with 0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm of each phytohormones. examined chickpea cultivar was azad. the resul...

A major problem of arid and semi-arid regions is environmental stresses like salinity and drought. To study the effect of Artichoke germination under different levels of salinity and drought, two separate experiments were performed. The experimental treatments included different salinity levels of NaCl (0, 50, 100, 150 mM) and five drought levels by PEG (0, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%) with three rep...

Na SO induced regulation of some key morpho-physiological characteristics in Sorghum were 2 4 examined to investigate the effect of Na SO on germination and morphology of Sorghum that was conducted 2 4 at Botany Department University of Gujrat. The variety used in this experiment was SSG-77. Plants were subjected for 30 days to sand culture that were salinized with four salt levels [T (control)...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Shoot-borne roots contribute to most of the nutrient uptake throughout the life cycle of maize (Zea mays). Compared with numerous studies with embryonic roots, detailed information on the phenotypic plasticity of shoot-borne roots in response to a heterogeneous nitrogen supply is scarce. The present study therefore provides a comprehensive profile of fine-scale plastic respo...
