in order to evaluate the effect of nitrogen absorption and use efficiency in relay intercropping for winter wheat and maize, a field experiment was conducted during 2008-2009 at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. a randomized block design with three replications was used. treatments included four combinations of relay intercropping of wheat and maize (thr...

in order to study the effect of light quality and quantity on morphological and physiological characteristics of two late and early maize (zea maize l.) s.c., an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2008. the experiment was carried out factorial based on randomized complete block design with six treatments and three replications. differ...

the identification of parental inbred lines to develop superior hybrids is a rather costly and time-consuming step in maize breeding. in some cases, pedigree information has been used to select diverse parental lines. in the case of iranian maize inbred lines, this information is not fully available. in this study we investigated the genetic distance (gd) based on simple sequence repeats (ssr) ...

The objective of the present study was to conduct DNA based genotyping analysis for hybrid identification in maize (Zea mays L.) using DNA fingerprinting technology. To achieve this random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was employed. A total of 40 random tenmer primers were surveyed. Of these, OPR-03, OPR-11 and OPT-06 were polymorphic which not only verified the purity among three l...

Flowering-related traits in maize are affected by complex factors and are important for the improvement of cropping systems in the maize zone. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) detected using different materials and methods usually vary. In the present study, 266 maize (Zea mays) F2:3 families and 301 recombinant inbred lines (RIL) derived from a cross between 08-641 (founding parent from southeas...

Exposure to elevated tropospheric ozone concentration ([O3 ]) accelerates leaf senescence in many C3 crops. However, the effects of elevated [O3 ] on C4 crops including maize (Zea mays L.) are poorly understood in terms of physiological mechanism and genetic variation in sensitivity. Using free air gas concentration enrichment, we investigated the photosynthetic response of 18 diverse maize inb...

Small RNAs (sRNAs) are hypothesized to contribute to hybrid vigor because they maintain genome integrity, contribute to genetic diversity, and control gene expression. We used Illumina sequencing to assess how sRNA populations vary between two maize inbred lines (B73 and Mo17) and their hybrid. We sampled sRNAs from the seedling shoot apex and the developing ear, two rapidly growing tissues tha...
