An incomplete diallel cross study comprising of seven bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars was carried out with parents and F1 progeny to determine heterosis, combining ability, gene action, and correlations for plant height and its components. The results showed that heterosis and heterobeltiosis occurred in plant height, spike length, peduncle length, length of the second internode fr...

Plant growth regulators play important roles in plant growth and development, but little is known about the roles of plant growth regulators in manifestation yield components, yield and seed qualities of soybean. An attempt has been made to elaborate the subject with emphasis on important plant growth regulators viz. auxins, cytokinins, Gibberellins and abscisic acid and others. Some environmen...

investigation of the interrelationships between yield and its components will improve the efficiency of a breeding program with appropriate selection criteria. in this study, the relationship among yield components and their direct and indirect influences on the total yield of melon were investigated. the study was based on evaluation of 49 entries gener-ated from a 7×7 diallel involving irania...

to study the effect of water deficit and plant density on yield and yield components of cumin (cuminum cyminum), an experiment was conducted during the 2002 - 2003 growing season at research farm of zabol university. in this study, the effects of plant density (25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 plants per m²) and water stress (before flowering, flowering, seed filling and seed hardening vs adequate irr...

essential oils are considered as very complex natural mixtures containing numerous components at quite various concentrations. lythrum salicaria has not been previously subjected to examination of its volatile oil. the present study was carried out to evaluate the essential oil composition of the flowering aerial parts of the plant by using conventionally hydro-distillation (hd) and microwave a...

this experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in 2012 at university of zabol. experimental treatments included phosphorus fertilizer at three levels of 0, 100 and 200 kg.ha-1 as the first factor and foliar humic acid at four levels of 0, 750, 1500, 2250 g.1000 l water as the second factor. results showed phosphorus treatment had significant effect on ...

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a large protein complex that controls the exchange of components between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In plants, the NPC family components play critical roles not only in essential growth and developmental processes, but also in plant responses to various environmental stress conditions. The involvement of NPC components in plant stress responses is mainly at...

— CSP technologies are well developed and offer many advantages compared to other renewable energy options. They can also be very effective in many locations with high solar radiation around the world. However today they are less competitive than other technologies. Understanding the limitations, and identifying opportunities for improvements, requires a detailed analysis of the energy conversi...
