in order to evaluate effects of plant density and planting date on quality properties of grass pea (lathyrus sativus l.), a factorial experiment was conducted during 2008, based on complete randomized block design with four replications in research farm of faculty of agriculture, the university of birjand, birjand, iran. plants were planted at march 5 and 20, and apr 3, with 30, 40, 50 and 60 p...

The nutritive value of protein of 2 sorghum grain composites containing 7.9% and 11.8% protein, respectively, was compared on the basis of growth of rats and amino acid analyses. The high protein sorghum grain had higher percentages of all the 17 amino acids studied than did the low protein sorghum grain. In both grains, lysine was the most deficient amino acid, and content of sulfur-containing...

to study the response of yield,yield components,protein and oil content of soybean cultivars to delay in planting in shirvan region, an experiment was conducted at research farm of the faculty of agriculture, shirvan in 2010. in this study, nine soybean cultivars (habit, hack, black hack, cencutry, cloumbos, clark, sahar, zane and willams) were evaluated at different sowing dates (20 may, 4 jun...

Hormones play important roles in regulating the grain filling process and protein accumulation. In this study, two wheat cultivars differing in grain protein concentration were used to investigate the changes in endogenous hormone contents and the mechanism of hormonal regulation of grain filling and protein accumulation under exogenous application of abscisic acid (ABA) or gibberellic acid (GA...

Before selecting genotypes for nutritional quality characters (protein, oil and micronutrients content) and anti-nutritional factor (phytic acid), it is important to know how much selection is likely to affect yield. Using a diverse range of genotypes, relationships between quality traits with yield and yield attributes in pearl millet were investigated. The number of productive tillers, panicl...

Variety Specific Agronomy Packages (VSAP) – DAN00129 Take home message: • Grain yield and grain protein concentration of wheat in a specific situation are generally negatively correlated. However initial investigations in 2011 indicate that the wheat variety LongReach Spitfire may have a greater grain protein concentration at a given yield level relative to other wheat varieties. • EGA Gregory ...
