In this study, plant height and plant dry weight of five wheat varieties (namely Da da 94, K nac 97, Konya 2002, Karahan 99 and Ahmeta a), collected for 20 weeks, were modeled via fitting generalized logistic (GLC), logistic (LC) and Gompertz (GC) growth curves. Growth curve selection was based on residual sum of square (RSS) and mean square error (MSE). Following growth curve selection, growth...

abstract genetic diversity of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l.) populations in iran was evaluated using morphological, agronomical and phonological characteristics and compared with three cultivars from germany, hungary and iran. in this experiment, statistical design of rcbd with three replications was used, sixteen quantitative traits were measured such as yield, flower number per p...

Hedysarum flexuosum L. is an important forage legume with high nutritive value. The determination of forage production in natural habitats is the most important factor for grazing management. Studies on its habitat characteristics and distribution are scarce. This research was conducted in order to evaluate the extent of pheno-morphological diversity in natural populations of Hedys...

in order to study the effects of biofertilizers and different water volume per irrigation on vegetative characteristics and seed yield of sesame (sesamum indicum l.), an experiment was conducted at the research greenhouse of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during 2009. this experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replica...

shoot:root ratio, dry matter partitioning, growth analysis, and water use efficiency of oat (avena sativa l., cv. walker) was investigated under excessive nitrogen (n) as 200 mg n kg-1 (n1p0), excessive phosphorus as 200 mg p kg-1 (n0p1), and combined 100 mg n+100 mg p kg-1 (n2p2), and the control (n0p0) as check in a pot experiment at dryland agriculture institute, west texas a and m universit...

the effect of levels of nitrogen on growth and nitrogen uptake patterns and grain protein quality of grain sorghum was investigated by two experiments which were conducted at pakdasht-tehran in 2003. in a completely randomized design with three replications, grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) hybrid h-726 was grown under greenhouse conditions using water culture technique. the first ex...

The effect of two different CO(2) concentrations (400 and 800 μmol mol(-1)) on the photosynthesis rate, primary and secondary metabolite syntheses and the antioxidant activities of the leaves, stems and rhizomes of two Zingiber officinale varieties (Halia Bentong and Halia Bara) were assessed in an effort to compare and validate the medicinal potential of the subterranean part of the young ging...

A field study was conducted to compare the formationand bacterial communities of rhizosheaths of wheat grown under wheat-cotton and wheat-rice rotation and to study the effects of bacterial inoculation on plant growth. Inoculation of Azospirillum sp. WS-1 and Bacillus sp. T-34 to wheat plants increased root length, root and shoot dry weight and dry weight of rhizosheathsoil when compared to non...
