this study was conducted to evaluate changes in antioxidants, free proline, relative water content and determination of root colonization of four commercial wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars (azar2, darab2, shiraz, and falat) inoculated with the fungus glomus intraradices, under four water regimes of 100, 75, 50, and 25% of field capacity in the year 2010 at the school of agriculture, shir...

in order to investigate the effect of root pruning in morphological and physiological characteristics of juniperus excelsa seedlings an experiment was carried out on transplanted one year-old seedlings. treatments included root pruning intensities (1-slight pruning (2-moderate pruning and 3- control (no root pruning)) .experiment design was completely randomized design. each treatment included ...

Research pertaining to genetic variability parameters, heritability, and genotypic, phenotypic, simple, and environmental correlations for various seedling traits in five elite advanced cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lines (FH-113, FH-114, FH-941, FH-942, and FH-2015) and one check (CIM-496) was carried out during October and November 2010 under greenhouse conditions at the Cotton Research Inst...

Effects of additional nitrate (20 mol m·3 NO;) on growth of barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Triumph), oat (Avena sativa L. cv. Amuri), rye (Secale cereale L. cv. Rapaki), triticale (x Triticosecale Wittm. cv. Aranui) and wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Otane) prior to emergence from a sowing depth of 70 mm were examined under controlled environment. conditions. For all five cereals, additional N...

Maintenance of indeterminacy is fundamental to the generation of plant architecture and a central component of the plant life strategy. Indeterminacy in plants is a characteristic of shoot and root meristems, which must balance maintenance of indeterminacy with organogenesis. The Petunia hybrida HAIRY MERISTEM (HAM) gene, a member of the GRAS family of transcriptional regulators, promotes shoot...

Seedling roots enable plant establishment. Their small phenotypes are measured routinely. Adult root systems are relevant to yield and efficiency, but phenotyping is challenging. Root length exceeds the volume of most pots. Field studies measure partial adult root systems through coring or use seedling roots as adult surrogates. Here, we phenotyped 79 diverse lines of the small grass model Brac...

Quality of seeds of three cultivars (IPSA Seem-2, BU Seem-3 and IPSA Seem5) of lablab bean (Lablab purpureus L. Sweet) collected from crops planted in three different dates (15 May, 15 July, and 15 September 2003) was assessed in respect of different parameters. The maximum percentage of seeds of cv. IPSA Seem-2 was germinated (95.67) whereas, BU Seem-3 had the maximum electrical conductivity (...
