The effect of the major flowering gene (PPD) on seed weight of chickpea was studied on 450 F3 families from reciprocal crosses between a small-seeded, early-flowering (ppd/ppd ) type and a largeseeded, late flowering (PPD/PPD) cultivar. F4 progeny tests were carried out to determine the PPD genotypes of each individual F3. The effects of the PPD gene and the polygenes on mean seed weight were b...

Seed size is a crucial plant trait that may potentially affect not only immediate seedling success but also the subsequent generation. We examined variation in seed weight of Wyoming sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis Beetle and Young), an excellent candidate species for rangeland restoration. The working hypothesis was that a major fraction of spatial and temporal variability in...

Accuracy and random selection of seeds when testing the 1000 weight in laboratory is great importance order to ensure representativeness sample precise information for further packaging process. The aim this research was check whether seed counter selects by shape size there a trend during operation at maximum reduced speed. Ten species different sizes were used. replicates 100 counted counter,...

Interspecific and intraspecific hybrids show varying degrees of heterosis for yield and yield components. Yield-component traits have complex genetic relationships with each other. To determine the relationship of yield-component traits and fiber traits with seed cotton yield, six lines (Bt. CIM-599, CIM-573, MNH-786, CIM-554, BH-167, and GIZA-7) and three test lines (MNH-886, V4, and CIM-557) ...

To date, there has been little agreement on supporting the hypothesis that how some key vegetative traits of camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crantz var. ‘Soheil’) are dependent plant biomass. Therefore, main aim this investigation was to quantify relationship between size plants and seed production across a broad-range densities through modelling approaches. make wide range densities, fan design...

ABSTRACT Calcium and boron are important nutrients in the stages of flowering, pollen germination fruiting process. As these poorly mobile plant, some authors recommend foliar spraying production seeds species. The objective was to study influence calcium boron, via application directed inflorescences, production, quality accumulation lettuce seeds. Four treatments were evaluated (only calcium:...

Interactions between genotype and environment are a crucial component to investigate in plant breeding. In order identify those with specific or stable adaptability place, breeders routinely test desirable lines hybrids variety of situations. Most quantitative traits, including yield, height, thousand seed weight, other essential exhibit GXE interactions. conversations vital the development ass...

The study presents the results of a three-year experiment (2013–2015) that was carried out to determine relationship between soybean yield components and seed under different irrigation treatments. indicated year had greatest effect on number nodes per plant (NNP), while an interaction also statistically significant. highest average NNP observed in 2015, being 33% higher when compared 2014. see...

A field trial was conducted to gauge the impact of value added NPK fertilizer,Zarkhez Plus, (N:08%;P:23%; K;18%) and biologically activated Zinc coated Urea (BAZU) maize.Treatments consisted; Control (T1), Straight Fertilizers (DAP, MoP, Urea) (T2), Zarkhez Plus + BAZUas 1/3rd replacement (T3), BAZU as 2/3rd (T4), andZarkhez (T5). Results suggested that plant height, stemgirth, rows cob-1, grai...
