abstract a field experiment was conducted to study the competitiveness of wheat cultivars against bromus japonicus at sistan agricultural research station during 2003. the experimental design was a randomized complete block assigned in factorial arrangement of treatments with four replications. six wheat cultivars comprised two natives (old cultivars; boulani and kalak-afghni), and four new-rel...

The grapevine (Vitis vinifera) cultivar Tannat is cultivated mainly in Uruguay for the production of high-quality red wines. Tannat berries have unusually high levels of polyphenolic compounds, producing wines with an intense purple color and remarkable antioxidant properties. We investigated the genetic basis of these important characteristics by sequencing the genome of the Uruguayan Tannat c...

Aims: The present study was carried out to access the salt tolerance level of nine amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) mutant lines selected from Benin cultivar ‘Locale’ at young plants stage in comparison with used as control.
 Study Design: experiment laid a Completely Randomized Design three replications.
 Place and Duration Study: screening house University Abomey-Calavi, City Republic...

The flowers of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. have been used as an herbal tea and in traditional medicine, and the plant has been developed to produce horticultural cultivars of various colors and shapes. In this study, a new chrysanthemum cultivar with dark purple petals (C. morifolium cv. ARTI-Dark Chocolate; ADC) was developed by radiation-induced mutation breeding of its original cultivar ...

Sorghum grains of cultivars Wad Ahmed and Tabat were germinated for 1, 2 and 4 days to obtain 1-, 2and 4day-old malts. About 1% of sorghum malt was added to sorghum flour. The mixtures were incubated at 30 C with shaking for 30, 60, 90 and 120 min. Phytic acid and tannin contents and minerals o extractability (as an index for minerals bioavaliability) were assayed for all treatments. The result...

The deployment of resistant crops often leads to the emergence of resistance-breaking pathogens that suppress the yield benefit provided by the resistance. Here, we theoretically explored how farmers' main leverages (resistant cultivar choice, resistance deployment strategy, landscape planning and cultural practices) can be best combined to achieve resistance durability while minimizing yield l...

Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus infect peanut seeds and produce aflatoxins, which are associated with various diseases in domestic animals and humans throughout the world. The most cost-effective strategy to minimize aflatoxin contamination involves the development of peanut cultivars that are resistant to fungal infection and/or aflatoxin production. To identify peanut Aspergillus-intera...

The yield and quality of crop mixtures depend on natural agrotechnical factors their relationships. This research aimed to analyze the grain yield, its components total protein content organically grown oat–vetch mixture two different soils depending oat cultivar. three-year field experiment with rotations was carried out. set up in southern Poland soils: Stagnic Luvisol (S.L.) Haplic Cambisol ...

To investigate Fe deficiency tolerance in tomato cultivars, quantification of proteins and genes involved in Fe metabolism and antioxidant mechanisms were performed in "Roggusanmaru" and "Super Doterang". Fe deficiency (Moderate, low and -Fe) significantly decreased the biomass, total, and apoplastic Fe concentration of "Roggusanmaru", while a slight variation was observed in "Super Doterang" c...
