in order to study the sink-source physiological relationship, current photosynthesis, contribution and remobilization of assimilates to grain yield in wheat and triticale genotypes, a field experiment was conducted in iran, ahvaz area on 2003-4. treatments were two bread wheat (simareh and tawer), one durum wheat (showa) and two triticale (juvanillo92 and line 45) genotypes. grain weight change...

Making an increase in the yield of agricultural plants including barely is considered as the main challenge for researchers in agriculture related sciences. Water-soluble carbohydrates transport and source–sink relations have a significant effect on the grain yield. This study was carried out in order to examine genotypic variation of storage and remobilization ability of carbohydrates in eight...

Two cultivars Buram-3-ho (susceptible) and CR-Hagwang (moderate resistant) of kimchi cabbage seedlings showed differential defense responses to anthracnose (Colletotrichum higginsianum), black spot (Alternaria brassicicola) and black rot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, Xcc) diseases in our previous study. Defense-related hormones salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene led ...

Abstract Tilletia controversa Kühn is the causal agent of dwarf bunt disease in wheat. Understanding infection T. practical and scientific importance for management. Here, we used scanning electron microscopy to characterize histological changes at seedling (Z12) stem elongation stages (Z31) resistant susceptible wheat cultivars after infection. At stage (Z12), structure mesophyll cells slightl...

stem reserves of barely can be an important contributor to grain filling particularly under condition is limited such as salinity stress. the aim of this research was to study dry matter accumulation and remobilization ability in different internodes of some iranian barley varieties and promising lines under salinity and normal conditions. the research was set up as two randomized complete bloc...

Environmental stress, especially drought stress, can play an important role in the reduction of the plant growth stage, specifically duringgermination in arid and semi arid regions in Iran.. In order to study the effects of drought stress on germination indices in wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted in factorial form, using a completely randomized design of four replications. In this e...

Recent studies suggest that plant pectin methylesterases (PMEs) are directly involved in plant defence besides their roles in plant development. However, the molecular mechanisms of PME action on pectins are not well understood. In order to understand how PMEs modify pectins during banana (Musa spp.)-Fusarium interaction, the expression and enzyme activities of PMEs in two banana cultivars, hig...

This research was carried out to assessment agro physiological traits of bread wheat affected salinity stress, Nano zinc oxide and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi under greenhouse condition via factorial experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. Experimental factors included salinity stress in three levels [no-salt (S0) or control, salinity 40 (S1), and 80 ...
