Combining ability analysis for seed yield and its components in Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
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...
متن کاملCavitation fatigue and its reversal in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).
"Cavitation fatigue" is the increased susceptibility of a xylem conduit to cavitation as a result of its prior cavitation. It was investigated whether cavitation fatigue induced in vivo could be repaired in intact plants. Sunflowers (Helianthus annuus L.) were subjected to soil drought in the greenhouse. Native embolism and vulnerability to cavitation was measured in well-watered controls and a...
متن کاملEffect of Tannery Wastewater on the Growth and Yield of Sunflower (helianthus Annuus L.)
The effects of tanneries wastewater on growth and yield of three cultivars (SF-187, CRN-1435 and DK3915) of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) showed that wastewater was not fit for irrigation due to extremely high mineral and heavy metal contents. In addition, effluents were highly alkaline with high load in EC, BOD, COD and SAR values. The amount of iron, manganese, zinc and chromium was also q...
متن کاملEtiolation symptoms in sunflower (Helianthus annuus) cotyledons partially covered by the pericarp of the achene.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Etiolation symptoms and the greening process are usually studied on dark-germinated seedlings and this raises the question--can these results be generalized for plants growing under field conditions? This work examines various aspects of the plastid differentiation under the covering of the achene wall, which often remains attached to the cotyledons of sunflower (Helianthus ...
متن کاملTOLERANCE OF SUNFLOWER (Helianthus annuus L.) TO IMAZETHAPYR
The response of RIMI [imazethapyr-tolerant (T)] sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) hybrid and the local imazethapyr-sensitive hybrid "Zoltan" (S) was investigated under controlled conditions. Hybrids grown in pots were treated post-emergence with imazethapyr at the two pairs of leaves stage. Visual injury evaluation and vegetative parameters were recorded. ALS (acetolactate synthase) enzyme activ...
