The aim of the present study was to dissect the genetic inheritance and interplay of root, shoot and heading attributes for a better understanding of these traits in crop production. For this, we utilized quantitative trait loci (QTL) and candidate gene analysis approach using a second filial (F2) population originated from a cross between spring cultivar Cheri and wild barley accession ICB1811...

Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is one of the most important yield limiting diseases soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. In North America, common causal species Fusarium virguliforme O'Donnell & T. Aoki. Yield losses up to 80% have been reported. Host resistance among sustainable tools reduce SDS losses, and screening accessions for sources a fundamental part discovering host resistance. This study e...

a factorial experiment based on complete block design was conducted to study the interactive effects of sulfur fertilizer and thiobacillus bacteria on corn growth and root colonization with two species of mycorrhiza fungi. treatments were five levels of sulfur (s0: 0, s1: 50, s2: 100, s3: 150 and s4: 200 mg.kg-1 of dry soil), thiobacillus in two levels [no application (t0) and application of ba...

A pot experiment was conducted to assess the effect of different salinity levels on growth and ion contents of black seeds (Nigella sativa L.) at Shakarganj Botanic Garden, Jhang, Pakistan. There were three levels of NaCl salinity as 0 (control), 3 dS/m and 6 dS/m. All growth attributes such as fresh and dry shoot weights, shoot length decreased with increase in salinity levels, but in contrast...

in order to the study of the salinity effects on seed germination and effecting parameter of fennel (foeniculum vulgare) was conducted a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with two factors and three replications. factor a was 10 ecotypes, including; sardasht, saghghez, kerman, tabriz,sabzevar, rome, khusf, bojnoord, mashhad and shabestar and factor b was five concentrations ...

The effects of Meloidogyne incognita race 3 and M. arenaria race 1 on growth of kenaf cv. Everglades 41 was determined under greenhouse conditions. Seedlings of kenaf were inoculated with initial population densities (Pi) of 0, 625, 1,250, 2,500, 5,000, and 10,000 eggs/plant and placed on greenhouse benches in a randomized complete block design. Plant growth and nematode reproduction were asses...

A pot experiment was conducted based on a factorial study and complete random block design with three replicates to investigate the phytoremediation potential of Sorghum biocilor L. in soils polluted with nickel and manganese during 2017-2018. The first factor was nickel nitrate (0, 60, and 120 mg kg-1 soil) and the second factor comprised of manganese sulphate (0, 50, and 100 µM). The characte...
