Modifications of the fatty acid composition of plant vegetative tissues produce deficient plant growth. To determine the expression of the seed high-saturated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) mutant character during the vegetative cycle, five sunflower mutant lines (three high-stearic and two high-palmitic) have been studied during their germination and vegetative cycle. No significant variatio...

abstract salinity tolerance is one of the major factor influencing crop productivity in arid and semi-arid areas. the salinity tolerance of fruit trees can be enhanced through the use of tolerant rootstocks. this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of salinity stress and rootstock on the growth, photosynthetic rate and nutrient concentrations of almond (prunus dulcis miller.) cv...

this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, metabolizable energy, digestibility and ability of gas production of poa trivialis. samples was collected at three phenological stages including: vegetative growth, flowering and seedling on two different elevations of 1300 to 1500 m and 2000 to 1800 m asl in neor and hir region as the first and second sites, respectively. testing ...

During the last 10 years the subject of bacterial spore germination has been intensively investigated. In most of these studies it has been found that bacterial spores are capable of germination under conditions which do not permit the germinated form to survive (Schmidt, 1955; Stedman, 1956). Hills (1949) pointed out that a distinction must be drawn between the requirements for germination and...

The magnitude of demand for planting materials in grape, mainly for rootstock genotypes indicates that micropropagation is inevitably necessary for their mass scale propagation. Therefore, the studies on micropropagation of four genetically different grape rootstocks namely Dogridge (Vitis champini), SO4 (V. riparia× V. berlandieri), H-144 (V. vinifera × V. labrusca) and 3309 C (V. riparia × V....

In many studies, topographic factors have been considered as an important factor in establishing the vegetation in different ecosystems. So, it affects vegetation composition and diversity by influencing soil moisture, fertility and soil depth. The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of slope, elevation and geographical aspects on species growth, forage production and vegetation...

water shortage is the most important factors on crop production in the world. several methods of deficit irrigation are solutions for reduction of irrigation water. to understand the effects of conventional deficit irrigation and partial root zone drying treatments on yield, yield components and water use efficiency of sunflower (farrokh cultivar), one study was carried out. the research was co...

Effect of several irrigation of sugar industry effluent was studied on vegetative and yield characteristics of L. var. Varuna type 59. Crop showed vigrous enhancement in almost all the vegetative and yield characteristics studied and generally it was seen that the enhancement in vegetative and yield characteristics are directly related to the number of irrigation with sugar industry effluents. ...
