چکیده

The wheat varieties were supplied by Dr. G. Aufhammer of the Institut fur Acker-und Pflanzenbau, at Freising-Weihenstephan, Germany. To obtain seedlings in the three-leaf stage preparatory to hardening, they were grown in flats of soil in the greenhouse undler prevailing temperatures during May to July. A photoperiod of 9 hours was used at all stages. The three-leaf seedlings were then hardened by transfer to a cold room at 3 C under either two 500-w incandescent bulbs (the radiations from which were cooled by a tray of water) or under ten 40-w fluorescent bulbs. The illumination at the leaf surface was 250 and 1,000 ft-c, respectively. To obtain seedlings in the coleoptile to one-leaf stage, the seeds were germinated in petri dishes of vermiculite covered with filter paper, for 5 days at 22 C and with the weak light prevailing in the laboratory. Two kinds of hardening were used for these: A, 4 days at -4 C in the dark, and B, 7 days at 2 C with a 9-hour day of weak light (70 ft-c). Frost-killing points were determined by suspending the seedlings in the freezing chamber, inoculating with snow, lowering the temperature 2 C/hour, and removing two plants to the cold room after each freezing temperature. After 24 hours at 3 C, they were then transferred to water at room temperature for a few days and the percent injury estimated. The frost killing point was the one producing more than 50 % killing of the leaves. The extracts for SH determinations were prepared in the cold room (3 C) as follows: 10 g fresh material were first cut into small pieces in 150 ml

Characteristics of Almond Selections in Relation to Late Frost Spring

Almond is one of the most important nut crops in Iran. Due to the suitable climatic conditions, Iran is one of the most important growing centers for wild and domesticated species of almond in world. Native genotypes typically are early flowering, due to late spring frost, often; they have been damaged. So frost damage to the flowers and early developing fruits is one of the most limiting facto...

بررسی برخی شاخص‌های فیزیولوژیکی مرتبط با سرمازدگی در ارقام بادام با زمان گلدهی متفاوت

Early flowering and frost in native genotypes are among causes of reduction in almond production in most years. Therefore, a proper understanding of the resistance mechanisms is necessary for developing varieties with high quality and resistant to frost. In this research, four different genotypes were selected out of 40 genotypes based on flowering time and resistance to frost, including late f...

Diversity of Resistance Gene Analogues in Rust Resistance and Susceptible Bread Wheat Varieties

Fungal diseases, especially leaf and stripe rusts are wheat yield reducing factors in Iran and the world. In this study, genetic diversity of 20 wheat varieties with different response to leaf and stripe rusts were studied using primers designed based on the conserved regions of plant disease resistance genes. The banding patterns of polymorphic markers were scored as dominant and number of amp...
