The experiment included 20 cowpea genotypes with three replications in a Randomized Block Design. study was carried out to estimate the genetic variability, advance, correlation coefficient analysis and yield contributing traits, direct indirect effects of component on through path analysis. variance revealed existence all hence data 17 traits which showed significant differences among entries ...

background: rosemary (rosmarinus officinalis l.) as a member of the lamiaceae family is a valuable aromatic and medicinal plant which is cultivated in large scale in iran. therefore, it is necessary to determine influence of factors affecting plant growth and drug metabolite production. objectives: this experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of bio-stimulators compounds on growth an...

Root phenotyping provides trait information for plant breeding. A shortcoming of high-throughput root phenotyping is the limitation to seedling plants and failure to make inferences on mature root systems. We suggest root system architecture (RSA) models to predict mature root traits and overcome the inference problem. Sixteen pea genotypes were phenotyped in (i) seedling (Petri dishes) and (ii...

Adaptation of plants under drought and salinity stress depends directly on the type of soil texture. Therefore, in this research, the morpho-physiological variations of Stachys multicaulis, an Iranian wild endemic plant species, were investigated in different soil textures under drought and salinity stress. For this purpose, plants were cultivated in three different light, medium and h...

Twenty available genotypes of maize were screened for resistance to Chilo partellus in the field. The genotype Sahiwal 2002 was found to be most susceptible while DK-6525 was most resistant. Maximum infestation was observed at the end of April while the minimum in the last week of March. Significant variations were observed in all the plant characters viz., number of nodes per plant, plant heig...

in order to study the morphological, phenological and yield characteristics of 70 desi chickpea genotypes, a trial was conducted on 2007 in research farm of agriculture faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad. in this study, 70 desi chickpea genotypes from ferdowsi university of mashhad seed bank, were planted in plots without replication including one to four planting rows at maximum length ...

bauer, 1996). Many pea diseases common in production areas affect root growth and function, thereby limiting Root growth is an important component of plant growth but has productivity (Kraft and Pfleger, 2001, p. 67). Tolerance received little attention by plant breeders because of difficulties associto many root diseases has been attributed to rapid root ated with root observation. Improved ro...

in the present study, effect of five isolates of trichoderma harzianum on growth parameters of tomato was carried out as cr design with six replications under greenhouse conditions. the concentrations 0.5%, 1% and 1.5% inoculums per pot were used. plant length, shoot and root fresh/dry weight, number of leaves and stem diameter as growth parameters were measured. the results showed that isolate...
