The plant growth regulator forchlorfenuron is often applied to promote fruit setting and development in cucumber production. However, the effect of on appearance nutritional quality unknown. In present study, was female flowers 1 day before anthesis at anthesis. application successfully induced parthenocarpic formation cucumber. addition, cytokinin-responsive genes were upregulated under treatm...

In order to study the source limitation and contribution of pre-anthesis assimilates to grain in dual-purpose (forage and grain) barley, a field experiment was carried out in Iran, Ahvaz region. The experimental design was split plot in randomized complete block with three replications. Application rates of nitrogen at four levels (60, 120, 180 and 220 kg.ha-1 N) were as main plots, while sub p...

Drought is the main constraint to maize production in Mediterranean area. This first report of breeding temperate populations from Algerian desert. The objective this study was evaluate response selection for reduced anthesis-silking interval (ASI) under drought and control conditions. Three cycles ASI were carried out four conditions, program evaluated both Selection more efficient than partic...

Abstract Some of the changes in physiological indicators during growth and development litchi fruit grown Vietnam were studied. The length diameter fruits reached their maximum value at 10 weeks after anthesis. content chlorophyll peel its highest 6 decreased rapidly. carotenoids was low formation then increased rapidly until ripening. vitamin C reducing sugar continuously a slightly. starch li...

Heat stress during flowering is a critical limitation for summer maize production. However, the incidence of heat varies with years and locations, it poses great risk to successful reproduction kernel setting. Therefore, essential provide sound quantification occurrence in relation growth development. Here, we analyzed characteristics based on climate data over 60 Huaibei Plain, China. The effe...
