Internode length is one of the decisive factors affecting plant height (PH) and ear height (EH), which are closely associated with the lodging resistance, biomass and grain yield of maize. miRNAs, currently recognized as important transcriptional/ post-transcriptional regulators, play an essential role in plant growth and development. However, their roles in developing internodes under maize ea...

in order to study the effect of sowing date and plant density on ear of sweet corn an experiment was conducted in gorgan reaserch station since june 2001 during 3 years. in this experiment five sowing date (24th june, 9th july, 24th july, 18th agust and 23th agust) and four plant density (45000, 55000, 65000 and 75000 plant per hectar) were evaluated in form of factorial experiment (5×4) within...

A field experiment entitled “Influence of plant density vis-à-vis architecture on Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yield and quality parameters” was carried out sandy loam soil at College farm, Agriculture, PJTSAU, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during 2021-22. The laid in split plot design with three replications. Results revealed that densities, plants sown under planting 90 x 20 cm (55,555 ha-1) ...

Increasing pea (Pisum sativum) seed nutritional value and particularly seed protein content, while maintaining yield, is an important challenge for further development of this crop. Seed protein content and yield are complex and unstable traits, integrating all the processes occurring during the plant life cycle. During filling, seeds are the main sink to which assimilates are preferentially al...

adjustment of plant density is an important base on light, water and soil nutrients for increasing seed yield. to determine of plant density in new red bean lines (phaseolus vulgaris l.), this experiment was conducted as factorial in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at lordegan region (chaharmahal and bakhtiari province) in 2004-2005. factors were new red bean lin...

in recent years application of plant growth regulators especially growth retardants, has been significantly increased. trizols (paclobutrzol and trinexapac-ethyl) as the most effective and least harmful growth retardants, induce more dwarf and denser cover plants with both darker and thicker leaves.  therefore, an experiment based on completely randomized block design with 16 treatments and 3 r...

The dwarf or compact plant architecture is an important trait in plant breeding. A number of genes controlling plant height have been cloned and functionally characterized which often involve in biosynthesis or signaling of plant hormones such as brassinosteroids (BRs). No genes for plant height or vine length have been cloned in cucurbit crops (family Cucurbitaceae). From an EMS-induced mutage...

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is the most widely used plant growth regulator to thin out bunches and increase berry size in seedless table grapes, but there evidence of its negative effects, including loss fertility malformations rachis. This study analyses effects applying auxin indole-3-butyric (IBA), as a novel alternative, on fruit yield, bunch structure, anatomy postharvest quality cv. Superior S...
