in order to study genetic diversity in 178 accessions of lentil (lens culinaris medik) originated from warm climate regions of iran, this experiment was conducted in 2009 at research farm of the national plant gene bank of iran in karaj. experimental design was an augmented experiment with six blocks and each block containes 30 accessions. accessions were compared with promising lines including...

In this paper an abstract linear-quadratic optimal control problem governed by an evolution equation is considered. To solve this problem numerically a reduced-order approach based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is applied. The error between the POD suboptimal control and the optimal control of the original problem is controlled by an a-posteriori error analysis. However, if the POD b...

Because triiodobenzoic acid increases pod number, albeit variably, in soybean (Glycine max), we tested other auxin-transport inhibitors. Morphactins, especially methylchlorflurenol (MCF), were found to be very active (optimal concentration 10 micromolar) when sprayed onto the foliage. Applications at 1 week after the start of flowering were most effective, producing a 40% increase in pod number...

chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) is a native crop of asia which is grown worldwide including iran.in this study,different selection criteria including correlation,regression and path analysis were used to improve yield.the experimental design was split plot with rcbd replicated four times in which three sowing dates (5 january,4 february,and 5 march) were used in main plots and four genotypes;two ...

the aim of this study was investigation the combined effect of terminal heat of last growth season and competition between plants on phenology, yield and components yield in faba bean. a field experiment with 3 sowing dates (28 november 2011, 15 december 2011 and 7 january 2012) and 4 plant densities (8, 12, 16 and 20 plants m-2) was conducted on faba bean (cv. barkat) at agricultural science r...

Background Hyperbilirubinemia is a common postoperative complication. Elevated direct bilirubin (D-Bil) and indirect bilirubin (I-Bil) levels are related to different pathophysiologies; therefore, their associations with outcomes also differ. However, there have been few comparative studies of such associations in postoperative patients. Methods This retrospective study compared the associati...

Thirty genotypes of Dolichos bean (Lablab purpureus) were evaluated to study the genetic variability on yield, yield contributing and related characters viz. days to 50% flowering, days to first pod set, days to maturity, number of pods per cluster, pod length, width of pod, weight of 10 green pods, number of single podded clusters per plant, number of pods per plant and protein content. The ra...

In order to investigate water deficit stress on 24 of soybean (Glycine Max. L) cultivars and lines in temperate climate, an experiment was conducted in Iran Seed and Plant Improvement Institute. Stress levels were irrigation after evaporation of 50, 100, 150 mm water from pan, class A. Randomized Completely Block Design was arranged for each stress levels. Some traits such as, node number, plan...
