in order to evaluate the effects of drought stress and methanol foliar application on some quantitative and qualitative traits of soybean (cv. viliamz), a split plot experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design at the faculty of moghan research farm in 2011. treatments were three levels of drought stress based on irrigation at depletion of 40, 55 and 70 percent of availabl...

to yield reductions (Higley, 1992; Hunt et al., 1994; Haile et al., 1998). Hunt et al. (1994) concluded that removal Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] producers in many regions of of leaf area delayed the time to achieve a critical leaf the USA are confronted with significant yield losses because of crop damage from white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus). Our objecarea index (LAI) of 3.5, li...

As a warm climate species, soybean is highly sensitive to chilling temperatures. Exposure to chilling temperatures causes a significant reduction in the nitrogen fixation rate in soybean plants and subsequent yield loss. However, the molecular basis for the sensitivity of soybean to chilling is poorly understood. In this study, we identified cold-responsive miRNAs in nitrogen-fixing nodules of ...

in order to evaluate the application of methanol on yield and yield components of soybean (glycine max l., var. l 17) in field conditions, experiments were conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the field research from faculty of agricultural of islamic azad university karaj, iran, during 2008. sprayed aqueous solutions were zero (control), 7, 14, 21, 2...

In maize-soybean intercropping system, soybean plants will be affected by the wide light-fluctuation, which resulted from the shading by maize plants, as the shading of maize the light is not enough for soybean in the early morning and late afternoon, but at noon, the light is strong as the maize shading disappeared. The objective of this study is to evaluate the photosynthetic response of soyb...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of turmeric powder (trp), tomato pomace (tp), fat sources (canola oil, soybean oil and tallow) on immune system and jejunum morphometric parameters of heat stressed broiler chickens. five hundred four one-d-old ross broiler were randomly distributed to 36 experimental units and 12 dietary treatments (3 replicates with 12 birds in each). the ...

Nitrogen deficiency limits crop performance under elevated CO2 (eCO2), depending on the ability of plant N uptake. However, the dynamics and redistribution of N2 fixation, and fertilizer and soil N use in legumes under eCO2 have been little studied. Such an investigation is essential to improve the adaptability of legumes to climate change. We took advantage of genotype-specific responses of so...
