In order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of micronutrients (iron and zinc) and different harvesting times during seed filling on yield and mucilage percentage of psyllium (Plantago psyllium), a field experiment was carried out in 2009 at the Research Farm of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Tabriz, Tabriz, Iran. The experiment was arranged as split plot based on randomize...

in this study, the effect of irrigation regimes and plant nutrition were evaluated as split plot arrangment based on randomized complete block design with three replications in 2010. treatments consisted of irrigation regimes at three levels: well-irrigation, irrigation disruption at vegetative growth stage, and irrigation disruption at reproductive growth stage as main plots and combination of...

In order to produce doubled haploid lines of bread wheat resistant to strip or yellow rust, three F1 wheat hybrids were crossed using pollens of three maize hybrids. Out of 1071 pollinated florets, success in seed set ranged from 63.1% to 93.3% (mean 78%). Differences in seed set among the crosses were not significant. Embryo formation in the seeds developed on different crosses also varied fro...

Seed and fruit set are established during and soon after fertilization and determine seed and fruit number, their final size and, hence, yield potential. These processes are highly sensitive to biotic and abiotic stresses, which often lead to seed and fruit abortion. Here, we review the regulation of assimilate partitioning, including the potential roles of recently identified sucrose efflux tr...

Finding a relevant set of publications for a given topic of interest is a challenging problem. We propose a two-stage query-dependent approach for retrieving relevant papers given a keyword-based query. In the first stage, we utilize content similarity to select an initial seed set of publications; we then augment them by citation links weighted with information such as citation context relevan...

in this research, during three consecutive years (2010-2012), a series of diallel crossing was performed among wild type barberry genotypes and iranian seedless barberry. setting of seed and fruit in the crossing have been studied and then seedling survival were evaluated in several cultural systems. results showed significant effects of pollen sources on setting of fruits, seed and seeded frui...
