Background: Potassium is a major nutrient needed by the crops including tuber crops. It essential for initiation and bulking process. Varietal differences in potassium uptake utilization many were reported. As varieties of sweet potato are released so far, studies on understanding variations accumulation its influence yield essential. Methods: Field experiments conducted during kharif rabi seas...

This article describes the wheat-breeding work of Italian agronomist Nazareno Strampelli, who was first to cross Japanese and western wheat varieties develop high-yielding semidwarf wheat. The environmental agricultural conditions that motivated Strampelli's breeding, evolution his varieties, their role in addressing food supply problems Fascist Italy, some attitudes about improvement regime in...

Grain quality currently represents a major problem in high yielding rice production in Iran and many other rice producing areas of the world. Quality assessment of rice involves the function of sensory tests and physicochemical determinations based on the chemical composition, cooking quality, gelatinization temperature and physical properties of cooked rice. These research genetic materials we...
