this research was investigated to study relationship among seed yield, seed yield components and morphological traits and their direct and indirect effects on seed yield of 100 safflower genotypes in two water environments (normal and drought stress) at research farm of isfahan university of technology during 2012. seed yield had positive correlation with number of head per plant, seed per head...

poplars are classified as fast-growing and slightly water tolerant species which will be weakened with decreased growth in extreme moisture or drought lands. the plantation of these species in agricultural lands and at the edge of rivers and water canals has currenthy an important role in both economical and social development of rural regions. the purpose of this study was to investigate and c...

The existence of diverse communities of plant species, including crops is crucial for maintaining the ecological balance between human kind and environment. Their existence also ensures the continuous food supply to human and animals. Therefore, it is critical to use modern biotechnological techniques in breeding scheme to increase the productivity of the economical crops and plants so we can a...

Drought is one of the most important environmental factors limiting the cultivation of ornamental plants in the green space. The effects of spermidine and salicylic acid on hollyhock (Alcea rosea L.)under drought stress were investigated. At first, the plants were sprayed with 3 doses of spermidine and 3 doses of salicylic acid (control, 100, 200 and 400 μM) for three consecut...

A number n is said to be economical if the prime power factori-sation of n can be written with no more digits than n itself. We show that under a plausible hypothesis, related to the twin prime conjecture, there are arbitrarily long sequences of consecutive economial numbers, and exhibit such a sequence of length 9.
