Cowpea is an important grain legume of arid and semiarid regions of Asia and Africa. Productivity of cowpea is low and stagnant. Conventional breeding approaches aimed at improvement of yield per se have not been successful so far in breaking the yield barrier. Manipulation of physiological processes such as photosynthesis is expected to yield positive results. A land race ‘Goa local’ with a ve...

in order to evaluate a better sowing date of chickpea cultivars in dry land conditions, a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at research station of bahar (hamadan province) during 2005-2006 cropping season. two planting time included winter and spring and four chickpea cultivars (cvs.) including one local (check) and three improved cv...

Drought stress is the major limitation of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) grown in subsistence farming systems worldwide. The objective of this study was to use single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers from the BARCBean6K_3 Beadchip to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with traits related to drought tolerance in common bean. An intergene pool recombinant inbred line (RIL...

in order to study the effect of sowing dates and cultivation methods on yield and other characteristics of two cultivars of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) an experiment based on split plot design was carried out with three replications in 2007 at khorramdarreh region of zanjan province. treatments consisted of three sowing dates (may 21, june 4&19), two cultivation methods (furrow and basi...

in tropical pulses such as mung bean use of zeolite due to keep of moisture is important. to study of effects of seed pelleting with zeolite and seed priming with iron chelate on protein and grain yield of mung bean cultivars in ahvaz conditions, an experiment was conducted as a factorial in randomized completely block design (rcbd) with three replication in experimental farm of the ramin unive...

in order to investigate the effect of sodium nitroprusside (snp) application on yield and yield components of kidney bean under water deficit stress, a field experiment was conducted in split-factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in hamedan, in 2012. water deficit stress at four levels including vegetative stress, reproductive stress vegetative+reproductive...
