The architecture of spray cut chrysanthemum is crucial for the quality and quantity flower production. However, mechanism underlying plant still needs to be clarified. In this study, we measured nine architecture-related traits 195 varieties during a two-year period. results showed that number upper primary branches, lateral buds branch length widely varied. Additionally, height had significant...

The field experiment was conducted with twenty brinjal varieties/lines during October 2007 to May 2008 to identify shoot and leaf characteristics of brinjal plants for their susceptibility/resistance against brinjal shoot and fruit borer infestation. Borer infestation was influenced by different characters of plant shoot and leaf. Various parameters like plant height, stem diameter, number of b...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Even small design variables of the femoral stem may influence the outcome of a hip arthroplasty. We investigated whether design-related factors play any role in the risk of non-aseptic revision of the 3 most frequently used primary cemented stem designs in the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register. PATIENTS AND METHODS We studied 71,184 primary cemented femoral stem implant...

This study was conducted to investigate the hair production and fleece characteristics of hairy goats according to the sex and age of animals. The material of the study consisted one total data of 73 hair goats, which were between more than one year-old and one year-old Lori goats from both sexes (26 males and 47 females). The overall fleece weight, fiber length, lock length, washing yield, hai...

gladiolus (gladiolus grandiflorus l.), a popular bulbous cut flower, has high demand in both domestic (pakistani) as well as international markets. five potential, exotic cultivars of gladiolus, ‘cantate’, ‘corveira’, ‘eminence’, ‘essential’ and ‘fado’ were evaluated to determine the cultivar effects on yield and quality, to compare their relative performance and recommend their suitability for...

the effects of sodium chloride (nacl) salinity (control; canal water with 0.4 ds m-1), 2.5 dsm-1, 5.0 ds m-1, 7.5 ds m-1 and 10.0 ds m-1, respectively) developed after 6 weeks of pruning (beginning of study) on plant growth, flowering and quality of three cut rose (rosa hybrida l.) cultivars viz. ‘kardinal’, ‘angelique’ and ‘gold medal’ were studied to achieve better management, quality product...

peppermint (mentha piperita l.) is one of the most important plants producing essential oil. an experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications to study the effect of salinity stress on growth parameters, essential oil percent of peppermint. 4 levels of salinity solution containing 0, 50, 100 and 200 mmol nacl was applied in irrigation plantings in a gree...

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of age and sex on the fleece characteristics of 40 Iranian indigenous Khorasan goats. Goats were divided into two different sex and age (kids and adults) groups. Fiber characteristics under study were: fleece weight, fiber length, lock length, fiber diameter, coefficient of fiber diameter, breaking load, resistance, elongation, hair percentage...

The effects of sodium chloride (NaCl) salinity (control; canal water with 0.4 dS m-1), 2.5 dSm-1, 5.0 dS m-1, 7.5 dS m-1 and 10.0 dS m-1, respectively) developed after 6 weeks of pruning (beginning of study) on plant growth, flowering and quality of three cut rose (Rosa hybrida L.) cultivars viz. ‘Kardinal’, ‘Angelique’ and ‘Gold Medal’ were studied to achieve better management, quality product...
