This work examined cell composition gradients in maturing tillers of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) with the aim of developing baseline information on this important forage and biomass crop. Flowering tillers were collected from plants raised from seeds in a greenhouse and field, harvested at soil level and separated into internodes beginning with the node subtending the peduncle. Internodes...

Fifteen Iranian wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) were compared for salt (NaCl & Na2SO4 in 1:1 ratio) tolerance using three treatments: 1.26 (control), 6.8 and 13.8 dSm in a green house. During vegetable growth, shoot Na, K, K: Na ratio and agronomic traits such as 1000-grain weight, grain yield, biological yield, number of tillers, number of fertile tillers, spike length, salinity suscept...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the population density and intensity attack Brown Planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stall) green leafhoppers (Nephotettix virescens) on rice plants Inpara 2 variety in Bokem Village. research conducted from August October 2022 fields Village, Merauke District. Sampling carried out three with an area 20 x 40 m divided by five observation sub-plots spread di...

Grain yield in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Thell.) is highly dependent upon the number of spike-hearing tillers produced by each plant. Soil salinity can greatly decrease their number and productivity. Knowing the contribution of specific tillers is essential for breeding salt-tolerant genotypes and for developing wheat growth simulation models. Our objective was to determine the effects...

Epichloë species (Clavicipitaceae, Ascomycota) are the causal agents of choke disease of grasses. This disease is characterized by the presence of cylindrical fungal stromata which wrap the immature inflorescences and inhibit the normal development of reproductive tillers. Using phenotypic and molecular characters, as well as mating compatibility tests, the fungus causing choke disease in Brach...

to determine the correlation between important traits with yield in barley through path analysis for selecting high yielding lines, three new lines of barley resistant to cold (c-81-13, c-81-11, c-81 -15), compared with valfajr (as control) were studied. this experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications, during 2008 to 2010 in boyer ahmad city.a number ...

20 hulless barley lines were assessed by grain yield and other agronomic traits in 2006 and 2007 in the research station of the university of tabriz, iran. the experiments in each year were carried out as randomized complete block design with four replications. the genotypes were significantly different for most of the studied traits. this indicated the existence of large genetic variation in t...
