Resistance to lodging, an important problem in rice production, has three types: low plant height, strong culm, and high strength of the lower part plant. The determinants remains unclear, compared with height culm strength. This study identified a new genetic factor involved part, as assessed by pushing resistance, using chromosomal segment substitution lines (CSSLs) clarify functional analysi...

The use of glyphosate resistant soybean (GRS) cultivars has increased rapidly from their introduction in 1996 to over 50% of Wisconsin soybean acres in 1999. While much research has been conducted using conventional cultivars to measure the influence of row spacing and seeding rates on soybean growth and yield, little has been done with new GRS cultivars. It may be necessary and/or more profita...

Sorghum genotypes currently used for grain production in the United States were developed from African landraces that were imported starting in the mid-to-late 19(th) century. Farmers and plant breeders selected genotypes for grain production with reduced plant height, early flowering, increased grain yield, adaptation to drought, and improved resistance to lodging, diseases and pests. DNA poly...

Agronomic characteristics of genetically modified (GM) MON 89034 × TC1507 × NK603 × DAS-40278-9 (PowerCore™ Enlist™), MON 89034 × TC1507 × NK603 (PowerCore™), and DAS-40278-9 (Enlist™) corn, a non-GM near-isogenic hybrid, and 2 commercial non-GM hybrids were assessed in a field study to determine if the agronomic performance of the GM corn hybrids is equivalent to that of non-transgenic hybrid ...

in order to evaluate the morphological characteristics and lodging related traits and carbohydrate content of culm and carbohydrate remobilization in traditional and improved rice cultivars, a field experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications at rice research institute of iran )rasht( in 2012 and 2013. rice genotypes included three native rice cultivars (...

Advances have been made in the development of drought-tolerant transgenic plants, including cereals. Rice, one of the most important cereals, is considered to be a critical target for improving drought tolerance, as present-day rice cultivation requires large quantities of water and as drought-tolerant rice plants should be able to grow in small amounts of water. Numerous transgenic rice plants...

introduction bean (vicia faba l.) has the great old history of crop cultivation to date would be pushed back to a fairly long day plant, resistant to frost and cool season crop and up to 5 degrees celsius tolerated. bean prefers wet and cold conditions. excessive heat may cause fetal growth problems, loss and reduce the number of seeds per pod bean flowers to the growth of plant and fruit set o...

Rice is a staple food for the majority of Asians; nevertheless, black rice has not been commonly consumed among them. The components yield will be determined by allocation photosynthate on and tall phenotype rice, which significant contributing factor to lodging. growth inhibitor paclobutrazol prevents manufacture gibberellin, results in rice. endogenous cytokinin content high at beginning grai...

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are commonly used in commercial farming to control lodging in cereals. PGRs have been shown to alter yield formation and plant stand structure, other than the straw length. To study their potential in Northern growing conditions PGRs and their application time impacts on plant stand structure and yield formation in tall and short statured cultivars of barley, oat,...
