Effect of Seed Biofertilizers Inoculation on Photosynthesis Rate, Yield, and Competitiveness Ability Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) with Weeds

Fusarium head blight (FHB; scab) caused mainly by Fusarium graminearum is a devastating disease of wheat and barley around the world. FHB causes yield reductions and contamination of grain with trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) which are a major health concern for humans and animals. The objective of this research was to develop an easy seed or seedling inoculation assay, an...

It was previously reported that the hypernodulating soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) mutants, derived from the cultivar Williams, had higher root concentration of isoflavonoid compounds (daidzein, genistein, and coumestrol) than did Williams at 9 to 12 days after inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum. These compounds are known inducers of nod genes in B. japonicum and may be involved in sub...

This research has been done to examine the effect of bio-priming on germination parameters related to seeds of canola cultivar (Hayola 401) under high salinity as factorial in seed laboratory of Shahed University based on a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) in three replications. Experimental factors included bio-primin...

Downy mildew, caused by Peronospora parasitica Pers. ex Fr., is an important disease of canola that has implications during early seedling establishment. The fungus invades young seedlings and severe infection results in premature defoliation. In worst cases, the systemic infection may even kill the seedlings. Current commercial varieties of canola are very susceptible to downy mildew. Therefor...

seedling characteristics of different sunflower (helianthus annus l.) cultivars under drought stress and inoculation with the azospirillum lipoferum in a spilt-factorial layout based on randomized complete block design with three replications were evaluated. treatments included dehydration stress (seed produced on maternal plants which irrigated after 60 (desirable irrigation), 120 (medium stre...
