Nitrogen (N), the most important mineral nutrient for plants, is critical to agricultural production systems. N deficiency severely affects rice growth and decreases rice yields. However, excessive use of N fertilizer has caused severe pollution to agricultural and ecological environments. The necessity of breeding of crops that require lower input of N fertilizer has been recognized. Here we i...

Objective: In order to Investigate effects of Gibberlic acid (GA3) and Sprimidin Poly Amine on Germination of three Cultivars of Wheat under Salinity Stress. Methods: The experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design with four replicates in Agronomy and plant breeding laboratory of Agricultural department of Islamic Azad University, Varamin-Pishva branch in spring ...

Se-supplemented fertilization is the main factor affecting the selenium (Se) contents of cereals in Finland. Soil and climatic conditions determine the activity of selenate added to soils and bioavailability to plants. In the present study the Se contents and its variation in Finnish oats, the differences between oat cultivars and cultivation techniques were examined. The selenium (Se) contents...

fusarium head blight (fhb) disease caused by fusarium graminearum is one of the most destructive diseases of wheat that in addition to the loss of product quality and quantity is able to produce the dangerous carcinogenic toxins in human and animals. in this study, the effects of different fertilizer treatments (vermicompost, chemical fertilizer and mycorrhiza) on performance components and exp...

to investigate the effect of k fertilizer on yield and yield components of three watermelon cultivars, a two-year study (2007-2008) was conducted in ardestan agricultural research center (isfahan province) by using of split plot randomized based on complete block design in three replications. three watermelon cultivars (‘sugar baby’, ‘charleston grey’ and ‘mahbubi’), were assigned as main plots...

this fertility experiment was carried out using split plots based on a randomized complete block design of three replications in 2006 at sari agricultural sciences and natural resources university. the aim of the experiment was to investigate some macronutrient and micronutrient accumulation in leaves of different soybean cultivars as influenced by some organic fertilizer types and levels. main...

Introduction: Bread making quality is affected by gluten genes and balance between their expressions. Hence, it is necessary for a comprehensive research to study and compare all gluten genes and their regulating elements simultaneously. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the molecular mechanism of bread quality in the level of coding genes and regulating elements via compa...

in order to investigated the effect of flooding, different nutrition levels an anti-oxidant characteristics, chlorophyll fluorescence, amount of chlorophyll (a, b) and carotenoids leaves soybean (glycine max (l.) merr), cultivar dpx research at the university of agricultural sciences and natural resources, gorgan, in a completely randomized design to factorial arrangement with three replication...

This study was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, King Abdulaziz University at Hada El-Sham during 2007 and 2008 seasons to improve the seed yield of sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) in the Makkah Region, Saudi Arabia. Split plot design with four replications was used in this study. Main plot treatments were four nitrogen rates (0, 100, 150 and 200 kg N/ha) and the sub plot treatments w...
