mapping the QTLs of agronomic and physiological traits, 149 double haploid (DH) lines from a cross between an Australian cultivar, Clipper (salt susceptible), and an Algerian landrace, Sahara3771 (salt tolerant), were evaluated under natural saline (Yazd Station, ECsoil=10-12.8 ds/m and ECwater= 9-10 ds/m) and normal (Karaj Station, ECsoil and ECwater ~2-2.5 ds/m) environments. There were remar...

effects of various fertilizers such as farmyard manure (fm), urea, and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr, including the genera azotobacter and azospirillium) were checked on yield, fatty acids, protein, and oil contents of sunflower. a two-year field experiment was conducted in a semi-arid region in iran in 2007 and 2008. the experiment was a split plot in a randomized complete block d...

salinity tolerance is a genetically and physiologically complex trait, controlled by quantitative trait loci (qtls). in order to map the qtls associated with agronomic and physiological traits, 149 doubled haploid lines derived from a cross between clipper (salt susceptible) and sahara 3771 (salt tolerant) barley genotypes were evaluated under natural saline-stress and non-stress conditions usi...

Grasses such as Miscanthus ×giganteus and Panicum virgatum (switchgrass) can potentially be used to produce bioenergy on a large scale in the Midwestern USA. The biomass productivity of these warm-season perennial grasses, particularly M. × giganteus, can be substantial, even when grown with limited inputs. The literature, however, varies regarding the nitrogen requirements for M. ×giganteus bi...

This experiment was conducted at Debre Zeit and Akaki during 2004-2005 cropping season on F2-derived F4 bulk families of three crosses, viz, DZ-01-974 x DZ-01-2786, DZ-01-974 x DZ-Cr-37 and Alba x Kaye Murri. To estimate the correlations and path coefficients between yield and yield components, 63 F4 families were taken randomly from each of the three crosses. The 189 F4 families, five parents ...

to investigate the effects of mycorrhizal fungi, phosphatic biofertilizer and manure application on yield and quantitative and qualitative criteria of coriander an experiment was conducted at khoramabad during growing season of 2013. the experiment design was applied as factorial layout based on a randomized complete block design with 18 treatments and three replications. the factors were mycor...

to assess the effect of non chemical management of weed control on forage sorghum (sorghum bicolor) a field study was conducted in varamin, iran during 2010 crop year in a three- replicated- split factorial experiment laid out in randomized complete block design with four weeding levels (w1= one time cultivation at 3-leaf stage using a duck foot cultivator, w2= two times cultivation at 3 and 5-...

in order to compare of ecological management of weed control on economical income, yield and yield components of cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.), a randomized complete block design with 12 treatments and four replications was conducted in mahvelat of khorasan razavi province, iran. treatments consisted of weeding, harrowing, burning, two times weeding, weeding + harrowing, weeding + burning, har...
