The long-term vegetative and reproductive growth rates of a wheat crop (Triticum aestivum L.) were determined in three separate studies (24, 45, and 79 days) in response to a wide range of photosynthetic photon fluxes (PPF, 400-2080 micromoles per square meter per second; 22-150 moles per square meter per day; 16-20 hour photoperiod) in a near-optimum, controlled-environment. The CO2 concentra...

In order to compare the effects of different spraying of nano zinc oxide and zinc oxide, the arable irrigated wheat was conducted in two separate trials in 2011-2014 lands of Abadeh city.Experiments were conducted in a randomized complete block design, with five treatments and five replications.In the first experiment, treatments included the application of nano zinc oxide to five levels ( 0 , ...

We investigated the effect of growth light intensity on the photosynthetic apparatus of pea (Pisum sativum) thylakoid membranes. Plants were grown either in a growth chamber at light intensities that ranged from 8 to 1050 microeinsteins per square meter per second, or outside under natural sunlight. In thylakoid membranes we determined: the amounts of active and inactive photosystem II, photosy...

Patterns of leaf carbohydrate partitioning and nodule activity in soybean plants grown under natural conditions and the irradiance level required to produce sufficient carbohydrate to obtain maximum rates of apparent N(2)-fixation (acetylene reduction) were measured. Soybean plants, grown outdoors, maintained constant levels of leaf soluble sugars while leaf starch pools varied diurnally. When ...

in order to investigate the indices of drought tolerance, correlation coefficient and path analysis at deficit irrigation and nitrogen experiment, this experiment was conducted as split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications during 2000-2003 for wheat at maragheh agricultural research station of dari. the treatments were included four levels of defici...

Low phosphate nutrition results in increased chlorophyll fluorescence, reduced photosynthetic rate, accumulation of starch and sucrose in leaves, and low crop yields. This study investigated physiological responses of soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) leaves to low inorganic phosphate (Pi) conditions. Responses of photosynthesis to light and CO(2) were examined for leaves of soybean grown at hig...

This study was done to evaluate the effect of different planting arrangements (square, lozenge and rectangular) and various concentrations of potassium sulfate (K2SO4) fertilizer (0, 100, 200 and 300 kg/ha) on yield and essential oils quantitative of Calendula officinalis L., a medicinal and ornamental plant. The experiment was done as a factorial in randomized completely blocks design (R.C.B.D...
