in order to evaluate the effects of foliar application of methanol and irrigation intervals on yield and yield components of chickpea cultivars a factorial experiment as split plots based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in spring 2008 at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. the treatments were 10 and 20 irrigation interva...

abstract- this experiment was carried out during the growing seasons of 2010 and 2011 at the agricultural research farm of bu-ali sina university, to study the effect of weed competition on subsequent germination and seed vigour of chickpea. 12 weed interference durations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. experiments consisted of two sets of treatment...

expressed sequence tags simple sequence repeats (est-ssrs) are important sources for investigation ofgenetic diversity and molecular marker development. similar to genomic ssrs, the est-ssrs are usefulmarkers for many applications in genetics and plant breeding such as genetic diversity analysis, molecularmapping and cross-transferability across related species and genera. in spite of low polym...

To investigate why Rhizobium sp. (Cicer) strain CC 1192 cells accumulate poly-R-3-hydroxybutyrate in the free-living state but not as bacteroids in nodules on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) plants, we have examined the kinetic properties of acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) acetyltransferase (also known as acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase and 3-ketothiolase [EC 2.3.1.9]) from both types of cells. The enzym...

The relationship between root morphological and physiological responses to variable P supply in different plant species is poorly understood. We compared root morphological and physiological responses to P supply in seven crop species (Zea mays, Triticum aestivum, Brassica napus, Lupinus albus, Glycine max, Vicia faba, Cicer arietinum) treated with or without 100 mg P kg-1 in two soils (acidic ...

Terminal drought is one of the major constraints in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), causing more than 50% production losses. With the objective of accelerating genetic understanding and crop improvement through genomicsassisted breeding, a draft genome sequence has been assembled for the CDC Frontier variety. In this context, 544.73Mb of sequence data were assembled, capturing of 73.8% of the ge...
