evaluation of essential oil yield, morphological and phenological traits of seven populations of twochamomilespecies )matricaria aurea and m. recutita), were carried out using randomized completely blocks design (rcbd) in three replications in alborz research station in karaj, iran during 2011-2012. data were collected for 12 morphological and phenological traits. analysis of variance showed si...

this research was designed to identify garlic (allium sativum l.) bolting clones and determining the relationship between their morphological traits and bolting capacity by using statistical methods of analysis of variance, comparison of means, correlation coefficients, factor analysis, stepwise regression, path analysis and cluster analysis. traits including flowering ability, number, length a...

When the morphological diversity of a clade of species is quantified as the among-species variance in morphology, that diversity is a joint consequence of the phylogenetic structure of the clade (i.e., temporal pattern of speciation events) and the rates of change in the morphological traits of interest. Extrinsic factors have previously been linked to variation in the rate of morphological cha...

,~Rs~K:\ ( .T . Developn~ent of' a new turfgrass cultivar requires an evaluation of numerous traits as well as an understanding of environmental factors influencing those traits. Growth or ability to fill in gaps and time of fall dormancy (fall color retention) that indicates cold hardiness are important traits for turfgrasses. This study was initiated to characteri~e variation in saltgrass [IX...

The scaling of body parts is a central feature of animal morphology. Within species, morphological traits need to be correctly proportioned to the body for the organism to function; larger individuals typically have larger body parts and smaller individuals generally have smaller body parts, such that overall body shape is maintained across a range of adult body sizes. The requirement for corre...

Iris belongs toIridaceae family and it is monocotyledon. Iris is one of the important ornamental and medicinal plants. 34 iris genotypes (14 species) collected from different provinces of Iran were planted at National Institute of Ornamental Plants (NIOP) Iran. All of the species evaluated for 15 quantitative traits and 30 qualitative traits. Results showed that the highest positive correlation...

Understanding the mechanism of plant morphological plasticity in response to grazing and clipping of semiarid grassland can provide insight into the process of disturbance-induced decline in grassland productivity. In recent studies there has been controversy regarding two hypotheses: 1) grazing avoidance; and 2) growth limiting mechanisms of morphological plasticity in response to defoliation....

background: bio-stimulators as biological substances stimulate metabolism and metabolic processes, which can be increase plants yield and secondary metabolites content. objective: the aim is to introduce bio-stimulators as bioactive amino acid compounds to increase yield and help to sustainable agriculture. methods: this experiment was conducted at acecr on the base of randomized complete block...

a glasshouse experiment was conducted in universiti putra malaysia (upm) to evaluate the regeneration and yield potential in purslane using both seeds and stem cuttings of 20 collected accessions from different locations in western peninsular malaysia. analysis results revealed significant variations (p< 0.05) for morphological traits viz., plant height, number of main branches, number of nodes...
