Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an oilseed and widely adapted crop. Oil of regular genotypes of flax is used in industry because of its unique fatty acid profile. New, mutant genotypes of flax have oils similar to sunflower oil which can be used as edible oil. This experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic variation of agronomic traits and productivity in different edible and industr...

The experiment was conducted in 2012 to evaluate the effect of salinity stress on oil percent, oil yield, seed yield and some physiological charactristics on three local populations of castor bean (Ricinus communis L.), at the University of Shahrekord, Iran. Experiment was carried out with three replications in a completely randomized design including five levels of salinity (1.2, 2, 2.6, 3.8 ...

Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) is one of the oilseed crops in the temperate regions and is adapted to different climate conditions. This crop can have an important role in production of vegetable oil, and providing appropriate soil fertility can increase its seed and oil yield. In order to investigate the effect of N, P, K, Fe, Zn and Mn on seed yield and other agronomic traits of rapeseed, an ex...

Due to the side effects of chemical drugs, special attention is given recently to pharmaceutical plants. Myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) is one of the valuable pharmaceutical plants, which is distributed over the vast areas of Iran. Yield and components of essential oil of this plant is dependent on ecological and genetic factors. In order to describe some ecological factors that affect myrtle in L...
