Physiological studies indicated that flag leaf has high contribution in wheat grain yield. In addition, number, distribution, and morphology of stomatal characteristics are important traits in the drought resistance and adaptation of wheat cultivars to fluctuating CO2 levels. A complete set of diallel crosses among seven durum wheat lines were used to study of genetic parameters of stomatal and...

The effect of phosphorus (P) (0, 25, and 50 mg kg-1 soil as Ca(H2PO4)2) and organic matter (OM) (0, and 2% w/w feedlot cattle manure) on P and zinc (Zn) distribution in different parts of wheat plant (Triticum aestivum L.) at various growth stages and its relationship with soil P and Zn were determined in greenhouse condition. In all pots, shoot P concentration decreased as plant growth proceed...

A pot experiment was designed to investigate the effects of full, above and below ground interactions of wheat with wild oat on leaf characteristics and root to shoot ratio. This experiment was conducted as a factorial based on randomized complete design with four replications. The treatments included four interference levels (above ground, below ground, above and below ground and check wheat a...

Silicon is as an essential element for crops and an important food source for the growth of rice plant. If no adequate replacement for this element, plants are faced with a shortage of silicon causing serious eating disorder and instability in plant resistance to pests. This research was done to investigate the effect of silicon on growth, yield and tolerance to rice stem borer in Tarom Hashemi...

Relationship between grain filling rate , grain filling duration, yield components and other physiological traits of rice was investigated in 93 genotypes of rice at Rice Research Institute of Iran (Rasht, Iran) during the growing season of 2001-2002. The experiment was performed without any statistical design. Panicles of main stem were tagged and taken at 3- day intervals during the grain fil...
