time of acquisition desiccation tolerance in peanut seed during different growing stages was determined by evaluating seed moisture content, germination capability and electrical conductivity. it was done in research field of gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources in completely block randomize design in four planting date and four replications. sampling was done weakly...

Latitudinal variation in climate is predicted to select for latitudinal differentiation in sensitivity to the environmental cues that signal plants to flower at the appropriate time for a given climate. In Arabidopsis thaliana, flowering is promoted by exposure to cold temperatures (vernalization), and several vernalization pathway loci are known. To test whether natural variation in vernalizat...

background and objectives: milk thistle (silybum marianum), a medicinal plant of the asteraceae family that have been used long time ago, in the treatment of liver disease. sowing date of this plant has not been determined, therefore, this study was necessary. this plant was identified as a weed, this plant is identified as a weed, while silymarin in the seeds are used in the anti-hepatitis and...

in order to investigate the effects of fertilizer types and irrigation regimes on quantitative criteria of three medicinal plants: lavander, rosemary and hyssop, an experiment was conducted at research field of faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during two growing years of 2007-2010. a split-split plot design with three replications was used. treatments were three irrigatio...

In recent years, herbaceous flowering potted plants have widely been used to be planted in garden area but these species might be also used as interior plants. Post production performance of flowering potted plants under interior conditions has become a research area of great interest. The aim of this work was to evaluate whether Salvia splendens may have a potential use as short-term colour so...

C timing of flowering is a major component of crop environmental adaptation, particularly when Water availability is a major yield-limiting factor in semi-arid regions. Hence, efficient utilization of soil water for grain production the growing season is restricted by climatic factors such depends on correct timing of flowering. Following winter (Decemberas drought and high temperature (Subbara...

The capacity to discriminate variations in day length allows plants to align flowering with the most favourable season of the year. This capacity has been altered by artificial selection when cultivated varieties became adapted to environments different from those of initial domestication. Rice flowering is promoted by short days when HEADING DATE 1 (Hd1) and EARLY HEADING DATE 1 (Ehd1) induce ...

The relationship between phosphorus (P) uptake and growth rate of chrysanthemum plants grown hydroponically for cut flowers was investigated. In Exp. 1, fresh weight increase of chrysanthemum cv. Seiun plants at flower budding phase administered 0 to 40 ppm in culture solution for 16 days was evaluated. 1. P uptake by the chrysanthemum plants was nearly proportionate to P concentration in the c...

Determinacy and photoperiod insensitivity are agronomically important traits, selected during or after domestication in common bean. Determinacy reduces aboveground plant biomass and accelerates and synchronizes flowering. Photoperiod insensitivity allows common bean to be grown at higher latitudes under long days. In this study, we attempted to identify Phaseolus vulgaris homologues of 12 Arab...
