in order to study the interrelations of photosynthetic rate and surfaces and leaf proline content with yield and yield components of safflower under different irrigation regimes, a field experiment in a split plot arrangement under a ranomized complete block design with four replication was performed at lavark reasrch farm, isfahan university of technology, isfahan, iran in 2007. two irrigation...

Trait-based breeding is essential to improve wheat yield, particularly when stress adaptation is targeted. A set of modern and underutilized wheat genotypes was examined in a 2-year field experiment with distinct seasonal water supply. Yield formation and drought response strategies were analyzed in relation to components of Passioura's yield-water framework based on phenological, morphological...

Genotype × environment (G×E) interaction complicates the identification of superior genotypes. An understanding its causes is needed for a more effective breeding strategy. The objective of this study was to determine the plant traits that cause genotype × location (G×L) interaction for pod yield in peanut using a modeling approach. The CSM-CROPGRO-Peanut model was used to simulate pod yiel...

  Abstract Two experiments with factorial arrangements on the basis of randomized complete block design in three replications were conducted in 2007 and 2008, to evaluate chlorophyll content index (CCI), fluorescence of chlorophyll, proline content and grain yield of three soybean cultivars (Williams, Zan and L17) under a non-saline (control) and three saline (3, 6 and 9 ds/m NaCl) conditions...

in order to evaluate the effect of terminal water deficit stress on leaf traits and their relations to grain yield in different barley genotypes (‘yousof’, ‘fajr30’, ‘nosrat’, ‘pbyt-46’, ‘pbyt-97’ and ‘morocco’), two separated experiments were conducted in stress (water withholding from anthesis towards the end of growing season), and non stress (normal irrigation) conditions based on rcbd with...

This work aims at studying the optimization of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) and pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) by multi-response surface methodology (RSM) to test their efficiency towards the extraction of phenolic compounds from Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) leaves. The extraction yield, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TF), DPPH scavenging method and trolox ...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity, relationship between morphological, agronomic and qualitative traits and to identify components of forage yield using some multivariate statistical methods in local sainfoin populations. the experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in agricultural and natural resources research center...

potato (solanum tuberosum l.) cultivation in two different climates causes difference in its growth process.the most frequently used indicators of growth for plants are the tuber growth rate (tgr), crop growth rate (cgr) and leaf area index (lai). shoot dry weight is the easiest, quickest and least costly component to measure the competitive features of plants.the results of some studies showed...

considering importance of baby corn as a new food, this study was conducted to evaluate effect of different sowing date; planting density and harvest methods on growth and yield of baby corn ksc403su varieties in agricultural research center and natural resources of khorasan razavi province during on 2007-2008. was considered at three levels of sowing date (14th  june, 3th  july, 24th july) as ...

wheat, cv. alvand, under late sowing condition and comparison with conventional sowing date was investigated in a field experiment in 2009-2010. the factors were seven levels of priming by sa, including control or untreated seeds, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 µm sa and two sowing dates including conventional sowing date (23 october) and late sowing (22 november). results showed that prim...
