The previously reported activity of benzyladenine and selected other cytokinin analogs to increase pod set in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) was further investigated to define the structure-activity relationship and evaluate the effects of the cytokinins on yield parameters. Enhancement of pod set was found to be greatest with N-6 saturated alkyl substituted analogs, and was only weakly assoc...

The derivations of existing error bounds for reduced order models of time varying partial differential equations (PDEs) constructed using proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) have relied on bounding the error between the POD data and various POD projections of that data. Furthermore, the asymptotic behavior of the model reduction error bounds depends on the asymptotic behavior of the POD data ...

In this paper an abstract linear-quadratic optimal control problem governed by an evolution equation is considered. To solve this problem numerically a reduced-order approach based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied. The error between the POD suboptimal control and the optimal control of the original problem is controlled by an a-posteriori error analysis. However, if the POD b...

Because triiodobenzoic acid increases pod number, albeit variably, in soybean (Glycine max), we tested other auxin-transport inhibitors. Morphactins, especially methylchlorflurenol (MCF), were found to be very active (optimal concentration 10 micromolar) when sprayed onto the foliage. Applications at 1 week after the start of flowering were most effective, producing a 40% increase in pod number...

genetic diversity in bean collection can be used in breeding program for selection of genotype with desirable agronomic traits. fifty two accessions of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris) has been evaluated for genetic diversity of agronomic traits, grain quality and determination of association between grain yield and some morphological traits at research farm of national plant gene bank of iran,...

Background Hyperbilirubinemia is a common postoperative complication. Elevated direct bilirubin (D-Bil) and indirect bilirubin (I-Bil) levels are related to different pathophysiologies; therefore, their associations with outcomes also differ. However, there have been few comparative studies of such associations in postoperative patients. Methods This retrospective study compared the associati...

in order to study compatibility of 30 white bean genotypes under karaj climate, an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications. evaluation and statistical analysis was performed for 18 important traits. analysis of variance results showed that there are significant differences between varieties for all traits. results of genotypes means comparison w...

Thirty genotypes of Dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus) were evaluated to study the genetic variability on yield, yield contributing and related characters viz. days to 50% flowering, days to first pod set, days to maturity, number of pods per cluster, pod length, width of pod, weight of 10 green pods, number of single podded clusters per plant, number of pods per plant and protein content. The ra...

legumes are the second important source of food and consumption of legumes in iran, similar to other countries, mainly due to consumer demand as human food. common bean has first ranked among legumes in the world with an annual production of 20 million tons.  in this research morphological and agronomic characteristics of 89 genotypes of bean) phaseolus vulgaris .l) were evaluated in an augment...

In order to investigate water deficit stress on 24 of soybean (Glycine Max. L) cultivars and lines in temperate climate, an experiment was conducted in Iran Seed and Plant Improvement Institute. Stress levels were irrigation after evaporation of 50, 100, 150 mm water from pan, class A. Randomized Completely Block Design was arranged for each stress levels. Some traits such as, node number, plan...
