In wheat, stem water soluble carbohydrates (WSC), composed mainly of fructans, are the major carbon sources for grain filling during periods of decreasing photosynthesis or under drought stress after anthesis. Here, in a field drought experiment, WSC levels and associated enzyme activities were followed in different stem segments (peduncle, penultimate internode, lower parts of stem, and sheath...

The use of whole grain foods, such as oat and rye, beneficial to one's health, could be substantially extended if their flavour properties and flavour stability were better known, and they could be modified in a controlled way. The aim of this study was to specify how the flavour of oat and rye is formed, and which processing factors influence it. The understanding underlying the perceived flav...

in order to investigate genetic correlation and path analysis between grain yield and yield components, fifteen early maturing hybrids of grain corn (zea. mays) using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications were evaluated in khoramabad agricultural research center, iran. the data were collected and analyzed for ear emergence date, anthesis date, maturity date, plant height, ear h...

   Phenolic extracts of canola (Brassica napuse L.) contains substances that inhibited the germination and seedling growth of soybean (Glycin max L.). These compounds also affect activity of some enzymes. Hear, we investigated the allelopathic effects of various canola plant parts on soybean germination, seedling growth, and biochemical aspects. Phenolic extract of canola shoot (including leaf,...

In order to investigate the effect of rhizobium bacteria, mycorrhiza fungi and foliar application of urea on qualitative and quantitative traits of soybean an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications. The experiment included six treatments as: Control (C), Rhizobium bacteria (R), Rhizobium bacteria + Mycorrhiza fungi (R+M), Rhizobium bacteria + F...

Maize grain of hybrid AN 447 was: (a) infested with Sitophilus zeamais and infected with Aspergillus chevalieri; (b) infested with S. zeamais; (c) infected with A. chevalieri; and (d) grain free of insects and fungus (control); the treatments were stored for 30 days at 268C and 15% moisture content, under hermetic and non-hermetic conditions to monitor the oxygen concentration, insect mortality...

this research, for lowering the use of chemical fertilizer, was carried out using combinations of biological and chemical fertilizer on bean in rasht region in 2012 growing season. the experiment was conducted based on randomized complete blocks design with 12 treatments and three replications. experimental treatments included: control (no fertilizers and no inoculants), chemical fertilizers (n...
