Objective: In order to study the effect of solopotasse fertilizer on yield and essential oil of cumin medicinal plant. Methods: A experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications conducted in kermam city, Iran, in 2013. solopotasse fertilizer in four levels (0, 50, 100 and 150 kg/h) investigated. Plant height, number of umbrella per plant, number of seed per umbrella, 1000...

We analysed the relationship between seed traits (weight, shape and dispersal structures) and the abundance and habitat segregation of Mediterranean grassland species. To take into account possible correlations with other plant traits, the study also includes 5 vegetative traits (growth form, plant longevity, clonality, onset of flowering and plant size) of commonly accepted functional importan...

Brassica napus is an important oilseed crop worldwide. Although seed weight is the main determinant of seed yield, few studies have focused on the molecular mechanisms that regulate seed weight in B. napus. In this study, the immature seeds of G-42 and 7-9, two B. napus doubled haploid (DH) lines with extremely different thousand-seed weight (TSW), were selected for a transcriptome analysis to ...

in order to study the variation of fatty acids and protein content of soybean seeds and correlated morphological and phenological traits by canonical correlation analysis, 25 genotypes were evaluated with latis square design in baieakola agricultural research station of mazandaran agricultural research center in 2001. a number of 20 agronomic and eight quality traits were measured. the variatio...

A set of laboratory tests was conducted in 2015, at the Central Seed Administration, Ministry Agriculture andForestry, Khartoum, Sudan, with objective to investigate effect late sowing and hydro priming times on some seed vigour attributes five chickpea lines ( DR1-27-5; DR1-44; DR1-109; DR1-114 DR1- 115). Seeds were provided by Hudeiba Research Station, from planting optimum date (November); (...

this experiment was carried out in factorial arrangement based on randomized complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center of markazi province, arak (iran) during 2008-2009 growing season. three application rates of sulphur (s1=0, s2= 40 and s3=80 kg/ha) and three rapeseed varieties (okapi, modena and licord) comprised the experimental facto...

the main objective of this study was using of canonical correlation analysis (cca) to find relations between 15 different variables of seed emergence and seedling growth related characteristics of seven important crop that were classified in three groups. the studied groups of variables were included physical characteristics (seed weight, seed length, seed density, water absorption and water co...
