In soybean seeds the level of hydroxyproline is regulated in a developmental and tissue-specific manner. The seed coat contains approximately 77% of the total hydroxyproline in the seed at all stages of development. We determined the ratio of hydroxyproline to dry weight in a number of tissues within the seed; however, only the seed coat shows an increase in this ratio during development. Withi...

Fifty genotypes of lentil (Lens culnaris Medik) were evaluated under eight environments for seed yield and its associated traits. All the genotypes were grouped into seven clusters. The composition of various clusters varied from 2 to 12. Clustering pattern revealed the distribution of the genotypes belonging to the same origin in more than one cluster indicating non-parallism between geographi...

In plants encouraged by the proliferation of seed, seed to plant survival factor to maintain the role is very vital and important. In order to evaluate different size effect's on the quality seedling production during germination in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), this experiment was conducted in 2011 at Laboratory Sciences, Islamic Azad University Shahr-e-Qods Branch by a completely randomized d...

Twenty four lines were crossed with two testers in an L x T mating design to estimate the combining ability for seed yield in sunflower. Non-additive genetic variance played a preponderant role in the inheritance of all the characters studied viz., days to 50 % flowering, days to maturity, plant height, head diameter, volume weight, hundred seed weight and seed yield per plant. The lines 27, 43...

The aim of the research was to determine field, greenhouse and seed bed performance of plantlets derived from in vitro propagated plantlets of three potato cultivars. Generally, higher values were obtained from the mid-early maturing cultivar Marabel, compare to other cultivars (early cultivar Velox and and mid-early cultivar Concorde) for tuber yield, tuber number and average tuber weight. For...

Increased temperature means and fluctuations associated with climate change are predicted to exert profound effects on the seed yield of soybean. We conducted an experiment to evaluate the impacts of global warming on the phenology and yield of two determinate soybean cultivars in a temperate region (37.27°N, 126.99°E; Suwon, South Korea). These two soybean cultivars, Sinpaldalkong [maturity gr...

A field experiment was conducted in the Agricultural Research Station, at El-Ghoraieb, Assiut to study dry seed yield performance of two locally adapted cultivars (‘Azmerly’ and ‘Cream 7’) and two line introductions (IT81D-1032 and IT82D-812) of common cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) grown at three different within-row spaces (20, 30 and 40 cm) and two planting dates in the summer (April 1...

the main objective of this study was using of canonical correlation analysis (cca) to find relations between 15 different variables of seed emergence and seedling growth related characteristics of seven important crop that were classified in three groups. the studied groups of variables were included physical characteristics (seed weight, seed length, seed density, water absorption and water co...
