Tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews) is a perennial woody shrub bearing large and colorful flowers. However, the flowering period is short and relatively uniform, which to an important extent hinders the cultivation and exploitation of ornamental peonies. In this study, the segregation of an F₁ population derived from P. ostti 'Feng Dan' (an early-flowering cultivar) × P. suffruticosa 'Xin...

¬¬¬one of the most important limitations for selection of second crop in paddy fields in guilan is waterlogging in the second half of the year. for an evaluation of waterlogging effect (in adequate drainage) on canola yield, a lysimeter study was conducted implementing -10,-5,0 and +5 cm water level for 2,5,7 and 10 day durations at 3 plant growing stages namely: emergence, beginning of floweri...

To study the impact of iron nanoparticles foliar application on mitigating the effects of drought stress on yield, yield components and oil percentage of Goldasht spring safflower cultivar, an experiment was carried out in 2012 in the Agricultural Research Farm Station of Islamic Azad University, Roudehen branch as split plot in a completely randomized blocks design with three replications. In ...

the effect of drought stress on yield and components of three varieties of autumnal rapeseed in the south ‎eastern region of isfahan, utilizing four irrigation regimes (i.e. no irrigation from flowering stage on, no ‎irrigation from the podding stage on, no irrigation from grain filling stage on, and a normal irrigation regime ‎after 80 mm evaporation from class a evaporation tube) were studied...

The present investigation was undertaken to determine the biochemical changes associated with flower development during the flowering season in the potted carnation cultivars of ‘Lilac on purple’ and ‘Pink’. Ethylene production and the 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) content of the flowers were observed to increase up to stage 5 (during the five stage of flow...

in order the the effect of biofertilizer and cut irrigation on growth of borage (borago officinalis) an experiment in split plot randomized based on complete block design with three replications in 1393 at the agricultural research station of roudehen islamic azad university done. treatments were first factor drought in four levels (control, stress at vegetative stage, stress at flowering stage...

In laboratory studies of Arabidopsis thaliana, plants shaded by neighboring vegetation (or subject to treatments mimicking shade) flower at a younger developmental stage, and sometimes earlier in time. We examined whether this shade avoidance response varies among and within natural populations of A. thaliana, and whether it corresponds to variable selection regimes at shaded and unshaded field...

In this study, the effects of concentration and application time of ethephon on growth parameters; stem height, stem diameter, biomass, carbohydrate content; sucrose content, invert sugar, brix value, and juice volume of two sweet sorghum cultivars were determined. Three ethephon application time (8 leaves, booting, and flowering) and five ethephon concentrations (0, 200, 400, 600, and 800 ppm)...
