in order to study the mode of genetic control and heritability of morphological characteristics important for the improvement of root weight, sugar yield and white sugar yield in tropical beet, griffing's diallel cross method along with the biplot display of diallel data were applied. nine sugar beet lines including 7112-36, 7173, 474, 452, 261, 436-104, sb-firoz, rr607 and 436 were crosse...

So far, only a few studies have been carried out in central European forests to estimate individual tree stem volume of pine trees from high resolution remote sensing data. In this article information derived from airborne laser scanner and multispectral line scanner data were tested to predict the stem volume of 178 pines (Pinus sylvestris) in a study site in the south-west of Germany. First, ...

Water deficit is a major yield-limiting factor for many crops, and improving the root system has been proposed as a promising breeding strategy, although not in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.). The present work was carried out mainly to assess how root traits are influenced under water stress in groundnut, whether transgenics can alter root traits, and whether putative changes lead to water ext...

root depth and distribution have an important role in drought resistance and optimization of moisture content of soil. this research was carried out in order to consider of root response of triticale genotypes to water stress and recognition of root trait that can effective in resistance of water stress. this experiment was in a factorial experiment based on completely random design on the year...

bauer, 1996). Many pea diseases common in production areas affect root growth and function, thereby limiting Root growth is an important component of plant growth but has productivity (Kraft and Pfleger, 2001, p. 67). Tolerance received little attention by plant breeders because of difficulties associto many root diseases has been attributed to rapid root ated with root observation. Improved ro...

Bare-root strawberry plants produced in Patagonia accumulate more reserves the main crown, which allows their immediate development after transplantation. Due to dependence on these bare-root plants, Brazilian producers use early cultivars, start leaves emission and flower buds differentiation advance, since do not always arrive within estimated time for planting southern Brazil. The objective ...
