Grain size is one of the most important factors determining rice yield. Several major QTLs for grain size control have been molecular characterized, and their roles in the regulation of grain size or weight have been explored but still remained obscure. In this study, we systematically examined the distributions of GW2, GS3, qSW5, qGL3, GS5, GW8, and TGW6 in 240 RIL of TD70 and Kasalath, compar...

in order to study the characters affecting grain yield of lentil, a randomized complete block design with three replications conducted at dryland research station of northern khorasan (shirvan) in year 2002-2003. during the growth season and after harvesting, number of days to emergence, days to 50 percent flowering, days to maturity, number of primary and secondary branches, small and big diam...

This study examines the multiplier effects of the grain subsidy program in China, which is a large food self-sufficiency project that is implemented as a cash transfer program. Income multiplier effects have not been examined in the evaluation of the grain subsidy program although increasing the income of farmers is the original goal of this project. A large number of household-level observatio...

The effect of cooling process for the synthesis and the superconductivity properties of Pb-substituted Bi-based materials, has been investigated. The preparation condition for the formation of (2,2,2,3) phase has been examined. The influence of thermal condition of the synthesis and quenching on the critical temperature and the content of 110K phase was investigated. Results of the ac-susceptib...

Wheat yield and grain nitrogen concentration (GNC; mg N/g grain) are frequently negatively correlated. In most growing conditions, this is mainly due to a feedback process between GNC and the number of grains/m2. In Mediterranean conditions, breeders may have produced cultivars with conservative grain set. The present study aimed at clarifying the main physiological determinants of grain nitrog...

Based on the analysis of the crack trapping effect of cleavage ridges and penetration of crack front segments in an iron–silicon alloy, the distance between break-through points along a high-angle grain boundary is investigated. If the break-through points are close to each other, the crack trapping effect is dominant; otherwise, the grain boundary separation in break-through windows governs th...

Grain yield of the rice can be enhanced through genetic manipulation of the yield components. Thousand grain weight is an important component which can be improved through conventional as well as molecular breeding approach. A major effect novel genomic region, TGW10, for high grain weight was identified through a bulked segregant analysis approach in Azucena × IR64 population. Markers associat...

This study setout to investigate the effect of wheat residue, tillage, and nitrogen fertilizer management on some agronomic traits of soybean as a split split plot based on randomized complete block design with three replications. The main plots included wheat residue management: collecting and leaving residue and sub plot included tillage (without tillage and conventional tillage), and the sub...
