Anthocyanins are natural pigments that have important functions in plant growth and development. Radish taproots are rich in anthocyanins which confer different taproot colors and are potentially beneficial to human health. The crop differentially accumulates anthocyanin during various stages of growth, yet molecular mechanisms underlying this differential anthocyanin accumulation remains unkno...

sowing date is the most important factor in physiological and morphological characteristics with positive effects on plants. to evaluate the effect of sowing date and weed interference on yield and yield components of red beans cultivars a factorial split plot experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out in the research field of zanjan university. main ...

to study the response of yield,yield components,protein and oil content of soybean cultivars to delay in planting in shirvan region, an experiment was conducted at research farm of the faculty of agriculture, shirvan in 2010. in this study, nine soybean cultivars (habit, hack, black hack, cencutry, cloumbos, clark, sahar, zane and willams) were evaluated at different sowing dates (20 may, 4 jun...

Drought stress is one of the important factors that restrict crop production in the world. This study was conducted to investigate defense gene expression in response to drought stress, and also to evaluate the drought tolerance and its mechanism in rice cultivars based on randomized complete block design in two separate environments (drought stress and non-stress). The rice cultivars used incl...

using mulch to decrease and optimize water use, increase yield and fruit quality is known as a practical method. for this purpose, a split-factorial experiment based on complete block design with three replications on two melon cultivars was conducted in torbat-e-jam, iran. interval irrigation treatments in three levels (six, eight and 10 days) were considered as main plot and mulch (rice straw...

As barley and oat production have recently increased in Canada, it has become prudent to investigate these cereal crops as potential feedstocks for alcoholic fermentation. Ethanol other coproduct yields can vary substantially among fermented feedstocks, which currently consist primarily of wheat corn. In this study, the liquified mash milled grains from 28 (hulled hull-less) 12 cultivars were w...

Panama disease, also known as Fusarium wilt of banana (Musa spp.), is one of the most notorious of all plant diseases (9,11). Although the pathogen probably originated in Southeast Asia, the disease was first reported in Australia in 1876 (7). By 1950, few banana-producing regions remained free of the disease. Panama disease is now found in all banana-producing regions except islands in the Sou...
