An investigation was initiated to examine the effects of nanoscale titanium dioxide particles on plant growth and development. In view of the widespread cultivation of canola in Iran and in other parts of the globe and in view of the potential influence of titanium on its growth, this plant was chosen as the model system. Canola seeds were separately treated with different concentrations of nan...

The form and opener configuration used to apply phosphorus fertilizer can influence its effectiveness crop response. A growth chamber study was conducted examine the response of (canola, wheat, pea grown in rotation) soil P (monoammonium phosphate struvite), spread (narrow versus wide), rate treatments 0, 20, 40, 60 kg P2O5 ha−1 added canola (B. napus) seed-row, followed by wheat without fertil...

Mutation induction is considered as an effective way to enrich plant genetic variation, particularly for traits with a very low level of genetic variation. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of different dosages of chemical mutagens on seed germination, seed viability and seedling growth characteristics and to identify optimum treatment conditions for chemical mutagens bas...

Camelina sativa (camelina) is an oilseed crop touted for use on marginal lands; however, it is no more tolerant of soil salinity than traditional crops, such as canola. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) that produce 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase (ACC deaminase) facilitate plant growth in the presence of abiotic stresses by reducing stress ethylene. Rhizospheric and endophytic...

The pending approval of the unconfined release of Roundup Ready wheat in North America has brought to the attention of regulators and scientists in North America the issue of coexistence of genetically engineered (GM) and non-GM crops. In Canada, there has been great adoption by farmers of Roundup Ready and other GM canola varieties. At the time of commercial release of GM canola in Canada no s...

The promising variety “Khanpur Canola” (KN-279) is an outcome of hybridization (KN-120 × Shiralli) durong 2006-07 and chosen through Pedigree strategy for determination. Homozygous descendants were built in 2014-15 yield assessment. Its exhibition was assessed on station, micro preliminaries national level Uniform Rapeseed Yield Preliminary trials. It has demonstrated its worth all superior to ...

in order to study the effect of temperature and photoperiod (pp) on development rate of different vegetative and reproductive stages of canola, an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station of gonbad during 2005-2007. the experiment was a randomized complete block design arranged in a split-plot in two conditions, for example supplemental irrigation and rainfed. there were differ...

Studies conducted in controlled environments showed that seed priming and foliar treatments with various bioactive substances can stimulate germination, uniform seedling emergence, photosynthesis, nutrient uptake efficiency lead to increased productivity, crop stand, quality. Only a few studies provide comparative experimental outlook about the use of open-field cultivated canola. The aim this ...
