fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill.) benefits from a lot of useful medicinal properties. iran is known as one of the main producers of fennel. in spite of high medicinal values, fennel’s cultivation is not economically feasible, mainly due to its low yield. it grows wild in different areas in iran from where diverse ecotypes have evolved. genetic variance and heritability estimates of traits in a ...

Abstract Compact blankets of free-floating plants generate stressful aquatic environments. The response submerged macrophytes remains largely elusive. Will they rush toward the light or rather speed up reproductive efforts and escape using propagules—the macrophyte equivalent lifeboats? We studied effects complete duckweed ( Lemna minor ) cover on growth fitness macroalga Chara globularis in a ...

A new species of Bambusa (Poaceae: Bambusoideae), B. nghiana V.T. Tran, sp. nov., is described and illustrated from Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam. This similar to gurgandii K.M.Wong & Diep, but differs by its long internodes, blade auricles lobed not spreading, upcurved at the end, 2-4 perfect flowers, one terminal vestigial flower.

Grafting on epicotyl of young seedlings has been introduced as a simple and rapid method for walnut propagation. Although this technique improves the grafting success and propagation efficiency, it is technically more demanding than the conventional walnut grafting procedures and is yet to be optimized. This study was aimed to investigate the influence of rootstock type (dwarf and standard geno...

Trichoscopy examination revealed the presence of few empty follicles, small broken hairs, black dots, and hair with uniform nodal dilatations with intermittent constrictions at which there was shaft breakage [Figure 2]. The hairs were of varying lengths; many were broken. Hairs with normal morphology were seen interspersed within this beaded hair. The beaded hair showed bending in different dir...

Aims: The conversion of fallow land for the establishment new orchards is now an alternative to Ivorian coffee growing, which has long been based on extensive and shifting cultivation system favoured in past by abundance forest reserves.
 Study Design: Thus, three soils under trees were studied from a physical-chemical point view order determine their potential productivity varieties (Coff...

this research was aimed to investgate the effect of light quality on micropropagation of pear rootstock oh×f333. first, single nodes explants were cultured in modified ql medium containing ba at four levels (0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/l-1) and iaa at three levels (0, 0.1, and 1 mg/l-1) and were evaluated for shoot proliferation. then, plantlets subcultured in modified ql medium containing 1 mg/l-1 ba ...

Thirty-six F1 hybrids were generated from nine lines and four testers through line x tester mating design, these F1’s along with 13 parents 1 commercial check (Punjab-8) evaluated to study the magnitude direction of heterosis for growth earliness over various characters in okra. Heterosis was studied compare traits such as days 50% flowering, picking, plant height, number internodes, branches p...

Different planting techniques influence the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of sugarcane. This study focused on hypothesis that altering sett spacing bud placement position significantly improves sugarcane yield quality. The experiment was conducted during periods, 2016–2017 2017–2018, under field conditions at Sugarcane Research Institute, Agriculture Centre, Tandojam, Sindh, Paki...
