Experiments were carried out to investigate the physiological (dry weight of root, stem, peg, flowers plant, fruits sets percent, pod yield (kg plot), 100-kernel weight, days to flowering and maturity) and biochemical (endogenous proline level) traits of groundnut cultivar Swat Phalli-96 under drought stress. The result showed that drought stress significantly (p < 0.05) reduced dry weight of r...

in order to investigate the role of bacillus cogulans on yield of two forage corn cultivars, an experiment carried out at agricultural research center of tehran province during 2009-2010. the experiment design consisted of three randomized complete blocks in a factorial arrangement. investigated treatments consisted of the kind of phosphorus and cultivar. the phosphorus factor included of the a...

Throughout tomato domestication, a large increase in fruit size was associated with a loss of dry matter and sugar contents. This study aims to dissect the contributions of genetic variation and the physiological processes underlying the relationships between fruit growth and the accumulation of dry matter and sugars. Fruit quality traits and physiological parameters were measured on 20 introgr...

the aim of this study is investigation on effect of stem end splitting and geranium essential oil on vase life on quality of cut chrysanthemum (dendranthema grandiflorum l.). this experiment arranged as factorial based on rcd with 2 factors of stem end splitting at 2 levels (with splitting and without splitting) and geranium essential oil at 6 levels (0, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10 %), with 12 treatments...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of extruded linseed on milk production, dry matter intake and reproduction performance of 300 holstein lactating cows (35±15 days in milk; 41±9/8 kg/day of milk production). cows were utilized in a completely randomized experimental design, comprised of: 2 treatments (concentrate containing 7 percent extruded linseed vs control) with a number of ...

This study was conducted to determine the effects of anticipated future level of CO2 on growth and dry matter partitioning of mungbean (Vigna radiata). Plants were grown from seedlings to maturity inside the open top chamber under amhient CO2 (350 +/- 25 microL L(-1)) and elevated CO2 (600 +/- 50 microL L(-1)) at Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi (India). Plants were harvested a...

Computational tomography is an important technique for developing digital agricultural models that may help farmers and breeders for increasing crop quality and yield. In the present study an attempt has been made to understand rice seed development within the panicle at different developmental stages using this technique. During the first phase of cell division the Hounsfield Unit (HU) value r...

Two experiments studied the effects of canola or sunflower seed supplementation on conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) concentration in milk fat of lactating cows. In each experiment, only eight cows in early lactation were available to assign to one of two treatments in a completely randomized design and were fed individually for 12 wk. Experiment 1 compared similar diets with or without the additi...
