This experiment was consisted in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 cropping seasons in field Agriculture and Research center of West-Azerbaijan. The experimental design was split-split-plot experiments using Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with 3 replications. The factor main was consisted irrigation treatment including optimum irrigation, moderate stress and sever stress where irrigation was don...

Although the remobilization of vegetative nitrogen (N) and post-silking N both contribute to grain N in maize (Zea mays L.), their regulation by grain sink strength is poorly understood. Here we use 15N labeling to analyze the dynamic behaviors of both pre- and post-silking N in relation to source and sink manipulation in maize plants. The results showed that the remobilization of pre-silking N...

this study was conducted to evaluate traits that have an effect on yield, and genetic variation for these traits, including dry matter accumulation, remobilization, and traits associated with them, in 10 grain sorghum genotypes obtained from the national plant gene bank of iran under moisture stress conditions. field trials were carried out in the 2008 cropping season using split-plot arrangeme...

breeding based on selection indices is an effective method for improving complex traits such as yield. to assess the efficiency of different selection methods, 50 genotypes of tall fescue (festuca arundinace) were evaluated under two moisture conditions including full irrigation (normal environment) and deficit irrigation (stress environment). the experiment was conducted according to a randomi...

in order to study the effect of salinity stress and nitrogen forms on nitrogen remobilization from root to shoot following defoliation and shoot dry matter production, a research in the form of factorial experiment based on randomized block, was designed in three replications. treatments include: 1) nitrogen forms containing a) biological n fixation (n1), b) 6mm nh4no3(n2), c) biological n fixa...

How the remobilization of S and N reserves can meet the needs of seeds of oilseed rape subject to limitation of S fertilization remains largely unclear. Thus, this survey aims to determine the incidence of sulphate restriction [low S (LS)] applied at bolting [growth stage (GS) 32], visible bud (GS 53), and start of pod filling (GS 70) on source-sink relationships for S and N, and on the dynamic...
