In Japan, broccoli (Brassica oleracea L. var. Italica) is primarily harvested manually. Some Japanese cultivars have short stems, but these heads are more difficult to harvest, and complicate the introduction of mechanical harvesters. Therefore, research focused on strategies control stem length. The present study examined effects plant hormone gibberellin (GA) morphological agronomic traits sh...

The antioxident effects of crude mucilages (CM) and partially purified mucilages (PPM) from three different Taiwanese yam cultivars—including Dioscorea alata L. cv. Tainong 1 (TN1), Dioscorea alata L. cv. Tainong 2 (TN2), and D. alata L. var. purpurea (Roxb.) Ming-Jen (MJ)—were evaluated, including 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, hydroxyl radical, and superoxide radical scavenging...

An experiment entitled & quot; Effect of plant growth regulators on NAA and GA3 Quality, Yield Attributary Traits in phalsa at the Horticulture Garden Chandra Shekhar Azad University Agriculture Technology, Kanpur (U.P.) during 2018-2019. Phalsa fruits are small abundantly produced. They don't mature within a certain time, which makes them difficult to grow. have spend more money labour for...

Delay in sowing and low precipitation (<300mm annual) in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) farming is the major problem in the irrigated and rainfall lands of Iran. A factorial experiment for evaluating the effects of seed priming on wheat cultivars was carried out under laboratory, greenhouse and at two field conditions during seasons of 2008-2010. Arrangement of treatments were Zarrin, Shariar, Sa...

Lead (Pb) caused interruptions with normal plant metabolism, crop yield losses and quality issues are of great concern. This study assessed the physio-biochemical responses, yield and grain quality traits and Pb distribution proportions in three different fragrant rice cultivars i.e., Meixiangzhan-2, Xinagyaxiangzhan and Basmati-385. Plants were exposed to 400, 800, and 1,200 ppm of Pb while po...

a greenhouse experiment was conducted in 2013 in research lab of karaj islamic azad university to determine the yield and activity of chemical markers as the response to different concentrations of cadmium (cd) (0, 5, 10 and 20 mg of cd/kg of soil) in wheat cultivars (karaj 1 and karaj 2). treatments were tested in a factorial experiment with four replications in 7.5 kg plastic pots. the respon...

ABSTRACT-This experiment was carried out as factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the research station of the Islamic Azad University-Arak Branch, Iran, in 2011 and 2012. Experimental factors consisted of three levels of salicylic acid (SA); seed priming with distilled water (hydro priming), seed priming with 0.5 mM SA, and 0.5 mM SA  seed priming 1 mM...
