this experiment was conducted to investigate and evaluate the phenotypic and genotypic diversity of a population including of 94 doubled-haploids lines, their parents and five iranian local bread wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars. thirteen agronomic and morphologic traits were recorded including; grain yield per unit area, harvest index, spike length, seed number per spike, spikelet densit...

Aims Variation in precipitation strongly influences plant growth, species distributions and genetic diversity. Intraspecific variation in phenotypic plasticity, the ability of a genotype to alter its growth, morphology or physiology in response to the environment, could influence species responses to changing precipitation and climate change. Despite this, the patterns and mechanisms of intrasp...

this research was conducted on determination of better planting distance and better amount of nitrogen and phosphorus for hybrid rice (bahar 1). planting distance were used in this experiment, include 30×15, 30×20 and 30×25 cm as main factor. and also nitrogen fertilizer was used, include four levels, 65, 95, 125 and 155 k/ha and phosphorus fertilizer used include tow levels, 50 and 100 k/ha as...

Auxin and cytokinin (CTK) play important roles in regulating the growth of rice tiller buds. Auxins inhibit bud growth and CTK, which are regulated by auxins, promote growth. However, little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here, we studied auxin/CTK regulation in Nanjing 44 rice, a japonica cultivar. After full heading, we cut off the roots and removed the panicles. The till...

in sustainable agriculture, using of resistant plants is one of the best methods for integrated pest management. resistance of 140 rice promising lines against striped stem borer was evaluated in two planting date in the field under natural infections in sari agricultural science and natural resources university during 2008-2009. this study carried out as a factorial experiment in randomized co...

Mature perennial ryegrass plants in pastures persist through the asexual reproduction of the tiller. Leaves are initiated from the flanks of the tiller stem apex. Generally, two leaves arc growing on a tiller at any one time. New tiller buds may arise from the axils of mature leaves depending on environmental conditions. Flowering results from a physiological change at the stem apex, which then...
