For determining the oil content, seed and fruit characteristics of Ethiopian Jatropha provenances, the study was conducted in five regions of Ethiopia namely Southern Nation Nationalities Peoples Regional state, Amhara region, Tigria region, Oromia region and Benishangul Gumuz Regions, where Jatropha is found abundantly. A total of 23 Zones, 36 Weredas and 40 sampling sites were considered from...

introduction the demand for food and agricultural products are increasing in a line of population increasing in the world (alexandratos, 2003). it is possible to increase the quality and quantity of agricultural products via extending the farms and producing more products (astaaraei and koocheki, 1995). environmental problems caused by synthetic fertilizers and the high levels of producing and ...

in order to evaluate times and rate applications of zinc fertilizer on quantity and quality of faba bean, an experiment was carried out to form factorial in randomized of complete block design with four replications at farm research of gonbad kavous university during 2009 – 2010. two times of application were including before flowering and beginning of pod setting and five rates of application ...

Seeds are important materials for the restoration of globally-threatened marine angiosperm (seagrass) populations. In this study, we investigated the differences between different Ruppia sinensis seed types and developed two feasible long-term R. sinensis seed storage methods. The ability of R. sinensis seeds to tolerate the short-term desiccation and extreme cold had been investigated. The tol...

Somaclonal variation has become common for many plant species including soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr). The present study was aimed to compare the morphological and yield characters of tissue culture derived and field grown soybean cultivar CO-3 (Coimbatore-3). With respect to the plants derived from tissue culture, the morphological characters such as length of roots, shoots, petioles, intern...

in order to study morphological variation within seeds and seedlings of a pistachio population of ‘badami-riz-e-zarand’, 20 quantitative traits were measured in sixty-seven nut and seedlings originated from them. results showed that there was positive and significant correlation between traits of nuts (seeds) and kernels, not between seedling height and crown diameter. according to measured par...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Recent phylogenetic analyses based on molecular data suggested that the monocot family Zingiberaceae be separated into four subfamilies and four tribes. Robust morphological characters to support these clades are lacking. Seeds were analyzed in a phylogenetic context to test independently the circumscription of clades and to better understand evolution of seed characters wi...

BACKGROUND The fruits and seeds of Alpinia galanga (L.) Willd., Alpinia katsumadai Hayata, Alpinia zerumbet (Pers.) Burtt. & Smith, Amomum kravanh Pierre ex Gagnep., Amomum subulatum Roxb., Amomum tsao-ko Crevost et Lemaire, and Elettaria cardamomum (L.) Maton from Alpinia, Amomum, and Elettaria genera in the Zingiberaceae family are difficult to distinguish between each other. This study aims ...
