Studies dedicated to understanding the behavior of pathogens in relation to their hosts are the starting point for any breeding program aimed to develop resistant cultivars. The objective of this study was to analyze the resistance to Septoria tritici Rob in 77 F11 progenies of wheat derived from the three-way cross Tadinia × (Yecora rojo × UC554) in the phenological stages of seedling, tilleri...

Flooded rice fields are an important source of the greenhouse gas CH(4). Possible carbon sources for CH(4) and CO(2) production in rice fields are soil organic matter (SOM), root organic carbon (ROC) and rice straw (RS), but partitioning of the flux between the different carbon sources is difficult. We conducted greenhouse experiments using soil microcosms planted with rice. The soil was amende...

proper application of n fertilizer and its optimization for increasing the economic yield of rice is definitely important. in order to determine the best n application method and amount according to growth stages of hybrid rice, an experiment was carried out at experimental farm of rrii in a factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. the treatments inc...

Glutamine synthetase 2 (GS2) is a key enzyme involved in the ammonium metabolism in plant leaves. In our previous study, we obtained GS2-cosuppressed plants, which displayed a normal growth phenotype at the seedling stage, while at the tillering stage they showed a chlorosis phenotype. In this study, to investigate the chlorosis mechanism, we systematically analyzed the plant growth, carbon-nit...

a randomized complete block design with three replications was performed in rice research institute of iran, rasht in 2008, to find the effect of supplement foliar application of nitrogen and potassium on ’daylam‘ hybrid rice grain yield, its components and grain protein percentage. foliar application of 20 kg nitrogen (5 percent n) and 15 kg potassium (3 percent k2o) in different pre-anthesis ...

Arsenic (As) accumulation in rice owing to uptake from the soil is a critical human health issue. Here, we studied the chemical properties of As-treated soils, growth inhibition patterns of As-stressed rice plants, changes in the As content of soil and soil solutions, and the relationship between As accumulation and As transfer factor from the soil to the rice organs. Rice plants were cultivate...

nitrogen is the primary nutrient that shows deficiency in saline areas, therefore, proper nitrogen fertilizer management is one of the strategies to achieve higher wheat grain yield.  a field experiments in a saline soil was performed on wheat with a factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with four replications, in rostagh area, 25 km from yazd. the first factor was nitrogen ...

The purpose was to comprehensively compare the prediction accuracy of different nitrogen nutrition indexes (NNILAI and NNIDM) derived from critical concentration (Nc) models established by leaf area index (LAI) dry matter (DM) in estimating grain yield indica hybrid rice grown machine-transplanted bowl seedlings. Therefore, field experiments were conducted with two high-yielding varieties five ...

in order to study the efficiency of dual-purpose herbicides at different stages of wheat (triticum aestivum), an experiment was conducted at shoushtar in 2012. the experiment was factorial with randomized complete block design arrangement of factors and four replicates. factors were dual-purpose herbicide including apyros (sulfosulfuron), total (metsulfuron methyl+sulfosulfuron), chevalier (iod...

to evaluate interaction of salinity stress and nitrogen use methods on yield and yield components, in experiment was conducted in split plot in randomized complete block with 3 replications. treatments included: salinity of irrigation water levels 1.5, 4.4 and 7.9 ds/m as main plots, and nitrogen treatments 1. using n fertilizer at 3 stage in soil, 2. using two third n fertilizer in soil at pla...
