Abstract. Agricultural production is largely determined by weather conditions during the crop growing season. An important aspect of yield estimation concerns growth development. The occurrence meteorological events such as frosts, droughts or heat stress life cycle certain phenological stages helps explain fluctuations common arable crops. We developed a methodology and visualisation tool for ...

Phenology is an ecologically critical attribute that commonly coordinated with other plant traits. Phenological shifts may be the result of evolutionary adjustments to persistently new conditions, or they transitory, varying annual fluxes in abiotic conditions. In summer-dry, fire-prone Mediterranean-type climates, for example, many lineages have historically migrated from forests more arid shr...

this research was conducted to compare plant functional types (pft) and traits in an old-field (abandoned for 28 years) and a control site, in the baharkish rangelands, quchan, iran. in the both sites, 40 randomized quadrates were established. floristic list, frequency, canopy cover and 20 vegetative, phenological and morphological plant traits were measured for all plant species, within each q...

Grazing exclusion (GE) has been widely considered as an effective avenue for restoring degraded grasslands throughout the world. GE, via modifying abiotic and biotic environments, inevitably affects phenological development. A five-year manipulative experiment was conducted in a Tibetan alpine meadow to examine the effects of GE on phenological processes and reproductive success. The study indi...

Barley geneticists are currently using association genetics to identify and fine map traits directly in elite plant breeding material. This has been made possible by the development of a highly parallel SNP assay platform that provides sufficient marker density for genome-wide scans and linkage disequilibrium-led gene identification. By leveraging the combined resources of the barley research a...

to investigate variation and detect of genomic regions controlling quality and quantity of malt extract in barely, a study was conducted using a set of 72 double haploid barley lines as well as their parents (stepto & morex) at experimental stations of university of mahabad and agricultural research center of mian'doab in rcbd with two replications during cropping season (2011-12). differe...
