Somaclonal variation has become common for many plant species including soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr). The present study was aimed to compare the morphological and yield characters of tissue culture derived and field grown soybean cultivar CO-3 (Coimbatore-3). With respect to the plants derived from tissue culture, the morphological characters such as length of roots, shoots, petioles, intern...

orchard grass (dactylis glomerata), a pasture and forage grass, has wide genetic distribution in iran. evolution of germplasm and selection of suitable genotypes is the first step for developing adaptable synthetic varieties. in order to investigate production potential, variation and genetic similarity of iranian orchard grass genotypes, an experiment was conducted using clonally propagated ma...

stevia rebaudiana bertoni is a medicinal, perennial and herbaceous plant from asteraceae family with sweet glycosides in its leaves. salinity stress is one of the important limiters in agricultural productions. salinity influences the growth and development of plant by effect on more activities in physiological and morphological characteristics. to study the effect of salinity on morphological ...

in order to study the effect of n fertilizer rates on morphological traits, yield and yield components of rice cultivars, a study was carried out in rice research institute of rasht, iran during 2009. it was a two-variable factorial experiment based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. the first factor was nitrogen fertilization at four rates of 0, 30, 60 and 90 kg n h...

Improvement of seed yield and oil content in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) as an oilseed crop is the main objective of its breeding programs. However, little genetic information is available for these traits. The main objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for seed yield and oil content. Six safflower lines each derived from different Iranian local populations and Saff...

Comparison of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes for morphological and biochemical attributes was done. Morphological characters viz. Plant height, number of branches and number of leaves were recorded highest in chilling tolerant genotypes at early stages of development (30 and 60 DAS) whereas at later stages (90 and 120 DAS) these characters were recorded highest in chilling sensitive ge...
