molecular evidence on the heterogeneity present in the ole e 1 allergen of the olive pollen is emerging. such polymorphism is dependent on the cultivar origin of pollen, which also determines wide differences in the expression of this protein. determination of biochemical and molecular characteristics of ole e 1 pollen allergen in two iranian olive cultivars, namely 'rowghani' and 'zard' is nec...

The aim of the present investigation is to study different pollen parameters such as shape, size, colpa and exine ornamentation for the taxonomic assessment of the groups of plants. The pollen morphology of some plant taxa of the family Fabaceae growing in the area of Arambagh of Hooghly district, West Bengal, India were studied using light microscopy (LM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...

Due to increasing water and growing demand for food a more efficient water use system is needed for agriculture. This is more evidence for rice production with a higher water use for economical production. A large cultivar×water regime interaction exists for grain yield in rice. Therefore, information is required to adopt new rice cultivars with high yield potential under water-saving condition...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND AND AIMS High-temperature environments with >30 degrees C during flowering reduce boll retention and yield in cotton. Therefore, identification of cotton cultivars with high-temperature tolerance would be beneficial in both current and future climates. * METHODS Response to temperature (10-45 degrees C at 5 degrees C intervals) of pollen germination and pollen tube gr...

Pollen morphology and the degree of pollen variability within nine species and two varieties of Oxalis species from Buenos Aires Province (Argentina) were studied using light microscopy (LM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Oxalis pollen grain is generally 3-colpate and the shape is prolate spheroidal, oblate spheroidal or spheroidal. The exine is ...

durum wheat due to its quality is an important crop in feeding and economics. saji is a newly released durum wheat cultivar with a mean yield of 2824 kgha-1 which was higher than the two durum wheat (zardak) and bread wheat (sardari) check cultivars in different yield traits conducted during 2000-2008 cropping seasons in iran. its grain yield was 23% and 11% higher than those of zardak and sard...

Waxy starch has an important influence on the qualities of breads. Generally, grain weight and yield in waxy wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) are significantly lower than in bread wheat. In this study, we performed the first proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses of starch granule-binding proteins by comparing the waxy wheat cultivar Shannong 119 and the bread wheat cultivar Nongda 5181. These res...
