Relationships between respiration rate and adenylate and carbohydrate pools of the soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) fruit during rapid seed growth were evaluated. Plants at mid pod-fill were subjected to different concentrations of CO(2) to alter the amount of photosynthate produced and, thus, available to the fruit. Respiration rate of the intact fruits was measured, along with glucose, sucros...

Effect of genotype x environment interaction was studied on relationship between yield and three yield components in 20 genotypes of chickpea. Significant differences were found between genotypes for the three yield components at all the locations. It was found that the pattern and strength of correlation between number of seeds pod and yield, between number of seeds pod and number of pods plan...

Activities of the sucrose-cleaving enzymes, acid and neutral invertase and sucrose synthase, were measured in pods and seeds of developing snap bean (Phaseolus vulguris L.) fruits, and compared with t4C-import, elongation and dry weight accumulation. During the first 10d postanthesis, pods elongated rapidly with pod dry weight increase lagging behind by several days. The temporal patterns of ac...

to study the effects of irrigation interval and nitrogen level on yield and yield components of fenugreek medicinal plant, an experiment in split plot arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications conducted at the azad university of birjand in 2009. treatments included; irrigation intervals (4, 8 and 12 day) as main plot and nitrogen fertilizer (none fertilizer, 50, 100 a...

Abstract This paper proposes a new biostimulant coating for soybean seeds. The aim of the study was to create Glycine max (L.) Merr. seeds, using root infusion from Arctium lappa L. as component. effectiveness produced evaluated in three-year field study. analysis developed based on evaluation plant biometric traits and yield. showed that designed manufactured seed can be considered agronomic s...

adjustment of plant density is an important base on light, water and soil nutrients for increasing seed yield. to determine of plant density in new red bean lines (phaseolus vulgaris l.), this experiment was conducted as factorial in randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at lordegan region (chaharmahal and bakhtiari province) in 2004-2005. factors were new red bean lin...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Using two parental clones of outcrossing Trifolium ambiguum as a potential model system, we examined how during seed development the maternal parent, number of seeds per pod, seed position within the pod, and pod position within the inflorescence influenced individual seed fresh weight, dry weight, water content, germinability, desiccation tolerance, hardseededness, and subs...

this study was conducted during 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 growing seasons at shirvan ‎agricultural research station, to evaluate the performance of eight winter chickpea seed lines. ‎the experiment conducted in randomized complete block design with four replications. during ‎the growing season, date of flowering, plant height, number of pod per plant, number of seed ‎per pod and date of maturity ...
