to evaluate genetic variation and to study of dry matter remobilization towards seed, 64 bread wheat genotypes were examined in two separated experiments using alpha-latic design of 2 replications during 2002–2003. significant differences observed for most traits in normal and drought conditions. there were considerable variations among genotypes for independent parameters of dry matter remobil...

shoot:root ratio, dry matter partitioning, growth analysis, and water use efficiency of oat (avena sativa l., cv. walker) was investigated under excessive nitrogen (n) as 200 mg n kg-1 (n1p0), excessive phosphorus as 200 mg p kg-1 (n0p1), and combined 100 mg n+100 mg p kg-1 (n2p2), and the control (n0p0) as check in a pot experiment at dryland agriculture institute, west texas a and m universit...

a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) inoculants including four strains of azotobacter chroococcum, azospirillum lipoferum, a. brasilense and pseudomonas fluorescence on dry matter accumulation of late maturing maize(zea mays l.) hybrids, sc704, sc700 and a promising single cross b73×k18. a factorial experiment was conducted in research fie...

Our current knowledge about sulfur (S) management by winter oilseed rape to satisfy the S demand of developing seeds is still scarce, particularly in relation to S restriction. Our goals were to determine the physiological processes related to S use efficiency that led to maintain the seed yield and quality when S limitation occurred at the bolting or early flowering stages. To address these qu...

Nineteen Arabidopsis accessions grown at low (LOW N) and high (HIGH N) nitrate supplies were labelled using (15)N to trace nitrogen remobilization to the seeds. Effects of genotype and nutrition were examined. Nitrate availability affected biomass and yield, and highly modified the nitrogen concentration in the dry remains. Surprisingly, variations of one-seed dry weight (DW(1S)) and harvest in...
