An incomplete diallel cross study comprising of seven bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars was carried out with parents and F1 progeny to determine heterosis, combining ability, gene action, and correlations for plant height and its components. The results showed that heterosis and heterobeltiosis occurred in plant height, spike length, peduncle length, length of the second internode fr...

Disturbance can fragment plant clones into different sizes and unstabilize soils to different degrees, so that clonal fragments of different sizes can be buried in soils at different depths. As a short-term storage organ, solon internode may help fragmented clones of stoloniferous plants to withstand deeper burial in soils. We address (1) whether burial in soils decreases survival and growth of...

abstract this reasearch was conducted to study the phenotypic diversity of thymus kotschyanus populations. seeds were collected from natural inhabitats (guilan, mazandaran, west azarbaijan, semnan and qazvin) and planted in qom reasearch station in 2007. a number of some such different morphological and phenological traits of the plants as plant,s height, leaf length, leaf width, oil content, i...

Increasing planting density is among the most effective ways to increase soybean yield, but high increases lodging risks in plants. To examine effects of shading on plant lodging, tall cultivar Heinong 48 (HN48) and dwarf Henong 60 (HN60), two cultivars with large height differences (approximately 40 cm), were selected, their internode lengths measured under different densities 2019 determine k...

Adaptive differences among species are often thought to result from developmentally constant trait differences that enhance fitness in alternative environments. Species differences in patterns of individual phenotypic plasticity can also have ecological consequences. Indeed, functionally related constant and plastic traits may interact to determine the phenotype’s adaptive value in particular c...
