BACKGROUND Several processes of plant development, such as abscission, pollen release, fruit dehiscence, and seed dispersal, require organs or tissues to physically disassociate or split open. Due to the immobility of plant cells, these processes occur through coordinated mechanisms of cell separation that are not found in animals. Arabidopsis produces dry dehiscent fruits (siliques) making it ...

in order to study the genetic diversity as well as the relationships between seed yield and some morphological traits in common white bean, 500 accessions were evaluated in the experimental field of national plant gene bank of iran in 2004 in an augment design of three control varieties. traits were evaluated according to the instruction of ipgri. results of descriptive statistics indicated tha...

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...

abstract the quantative and qualitative yield comparison of three cucumber f1 cultivars including' sina, amyral, and negin was evaluated using 3×3×3 factorial experimental design with six replication. three types of pruning treatments were applied; cutting down all branches on main stem (b1), leaving one node and the leaf next to it on all branches (b2), leaving two node and the leaf next to th...

in order to study genetic diversity in 178 accessions of lentil (lens culinaris medik) originated from warm climate regions of iran, this experiment was conducted in 2009 at research farm of the national plant gene bank of iran in karaj. experimental design was an augmented experiment with six blocks and each block containes 30 accessions. accessions were compared with promising lines including...

this study was conducted to evaluate different nutrient solutions effects on agria potato mini-tubers production under aeroponic system. the experiment was conducted in the laboratory and greenhouse of ardabil sabalan behparvar company in 2013. four recommended nutrient solutions including: lommen and struik (1992), kang and han (2005), otazu (2010) and hoagland and arnon (1950) were used in a ...

according to the contradictory reports of researchers, tillers may have positive or negative effect on wheat yield. thus, this study was conducted to investigate the role of tillers on wheat yield under two row spacing of 12.5 and 25 cm and four plant densities of 125, 250, 375 and 500 plants per m2, at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources farm in anbare-ololum reign...
