in order to investigation of waterlogging stress effects on morphological and physiological traits of rapeseed in different developmental stages, a pot experiment was conducted at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2010-2011. the experiment design was completely randomized with factorial arrangement and three replications. examined factors were developmental...

An alternative means by which to examine the importance of assimilates supply to flower and pod formation is to analyze the relationships of leaf area index (LAI), above-ground dry matter (ADM), leaf area duration (LAD) and crop growth rate (CGR) around flowering with flower number and pod/flower ratio. For this objective, an experiment was conducted at Agricultural Research Station of Gonbad, ...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Specific leaf area (SLA) is a critical component of the leaf economics spectrum, and many functional leaf traits have been empirically demonstrated to covary with SLA. However, a complete understanding of how change in leaf size influences SLA has not yet emerged. • METHODS To help develop a more complete understanding of the determinants of variability in S...

Leaf area growth determines the light interception capacity of a crop and is often used as a surrogate for plant growth in high-throughput phenotyping systems. The relationship between leaf area growth and growth in terms of mass will depend on how carbon is partitioned among new leaf area, leaf mass, root mass, reproduction, and respiration. A model of leaf area growth in terms of photosynthet...

abstract to evaluate the effect of sowing date and weed interference on growth indices of red bean cultivars with different growth habit, a field experiment was carried out during the spring 2009 at university of zanjan as a factorial split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design, with three replications. main plots included factorial of three red bean cultivars (derakhshan (stand...

agroecology emphasizes the use of organic materials in agriculture. the organic acids are important sources of organic materials. in order to study the effect of different levels of humic acid on yield and yield components of corn (zea mays l.) an experiment was conducted at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2009. the experiment was conducted...
