Grain appearance quality and milling quality are the main determinants of market value of rice. Breeding for improved grain quality is a major objective of rice breeding worldwide. Identification of genes/QTL controlling quality traits is the prerequisite for increasing breeding efficiency through marker-assisted selection. Here, we reported a genome-wide association study in indica rice to ide...

* Department of Soil Science, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana 141 004 Abstract: Different irrigation methods and regimes affect maize (Zea Mays L.) growth differently. The field experiment was conducted to study the interactive effect of three irrigation methods and three irrigation regimes on maize growth under sandy loam soil at the Research Farm of Department of Soil Science, Punjab...

Individual grain weight is a major yield component in wheat. To provide a comprehensive understanding of grain weight determination, the carpel size at anthesis, grain dry matter accumulation, grain water uptake and loss, grain morphological expansion, and final grain weight at different positions within spikelets were investigated in a recombinant inbred line mapping population of bread wheat ...

The objective of the study was to determine geometric, gravimetric, aerodynamic, and frictional properties maize grain as affected by varietal differences moisture content. Honampa, Omankwa, Abontem, Timtim, Obatanpa were five varieties studied. Moisture content, geometric properties, gravimetric aerodynamic mean diameters ranged between 6.65 7.55 mm, while projected areas 52.98 73.12 m2. surfa...

Abstract The research was carried out in three vegetative seasons 2015/16, 2016/17, and 2018/19, on an experimental plot Padinska Skela, Belgrade, Serbia. supplement included four NPK treatments (kg ha −1 ) foliar treatment with effective microorganisms (EM 7 l T1-129: 60: 60; T2-129: 60 + 1 EM; T3-106: 2 EM ; T4-83: 3 EM. Four wheat genotypes were sown (Ratarica, Pobeda, Nogal, Apache). Thousa...

In order to explore the possibility of enhancing wheat productivity with limited inputs, an experiment entitled “Effect of seed soaking in nitrogen, phosphorus and herbicides solutions on yield and other characteristics of wheat” was conducted at the Agriculture Research Farm of NWFP Agricultural University Peshawar during winter2002-03. Seeds were soaked in pure water, 0.1% and 0.5% urea solut...

the effect of late planting heat stress on yield and yield components was studied in 11 barley lines from icarda and one cultivar from iran (izeh) during two years (2005-2007) in gachsaran dry-land agricultural research station. each line was planted in a 6-rowed plot at two dates: normal planting (middle of november) and late planting (end of december) with three replications using a randomize...

Abstract The purpose of the research is to study effect microbiological preparations on quality winter wheat in northern forest-steppe zone Tyumen region. article provides following preparations: “Double roots” (Healthy roots)” “Organic”, as well their combined use. largest increase thousand kernel weight was noted option 1 and 3 roots roots) + Organic” by 4.2-2.5 g, which 7.8-13.3% from contro...
