in this study, geometrical, gravimetrical and frictional properties of four common varieties of iranian canola seeds (namely: slm, hyola, okapi, orient), containing the mean moisture value of 6.5% (w.b.) were investigated. geometrical and gravimetrical properties included length, diameter, geometric mean diameter, sphericity, thousand seed mass, volume, true density, bulk density and porosity. ...

in order to investigation of waterlogging stress effects on morphological and physiological traits of rapeseed in different developmental stages, a pot experiment was conducted at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2010-2011. the experiment design was completely randomized with factorial arrangement and three replications. examined factors were developmental...

Understanding several modes of duplication contributing on the present genome structure is getting an attention because it could be related to numerous agronomically important traits. Since soybean serves as a rich protein source for animal feeds and human consumption, breeding efforts in soybean have been directed toward enhancing seed protein content. The publicly available soybean sequences ...

An experiment was carried out to compare half-sib and full-sib progeny selection methods in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) under rainfed conditions from 2006-07 to 2009-10 for 14 morpho-physiological characters. Full-sib and half-sib progenies were developed from different populations. The values of genetic parameters were higher in full-sibs compared to half-sibs for a greater number of t...

BACKGROUND The accuracy of the Elekta Clarity™ three-dimensional ultrasound system (3DUS) was assessed for prostate positioning and compared to seed- and bone-based positioning in kilo-voltage cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) during a definitive radiotherapy. METHODS The prostate positioning of 6 patients, with fiducial markers implanted into the prostate, was controlled by 3DUS and CBCT....

expansion of oilseeds cultivation plays an important role in provision of the required edible oils for a country's population. iran is one of the origins safflower as a drought and salt tolerant crop, and therefore, it can be counted on as a suitable alternative crop for cultivation in marginal areas. the aims followed in the present research were on evaluation and selection of late season...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] yield has increased over time through the introduction of new varieties and improved agronomic practices. However, seed protein concentration decreased. We conducted field studies in 2018 2019 to investigate effects fungicide, insecticide, foliar fertilizer application on grain quality two soybean maturity groups (MG). In-season treatments targeted nutrient avai...

In order to evaluation of drought resistant indices in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), 10 barley genotypes evaluated in Completely Randomized Design with three Replications in two conditions, (under drought stress and in normal with irrigation in planting, flowering and grain filling stages) in Islamic Azad University, Miyaneh Branch Research Farm in 2012. Drought tolerant indices basis of yield p...
