ninety barley doubled haploid lines originated from crossing between six barley cultivars in cereal research department, seed and plant improvement institute, karaj, iran were evaluated for resistance to powdery mildew and some agronomic traits in field in 2007. six parent cultivars and a powdery mildew susceptible check cultivar, afzal were also included. sixty two doubled haploid lines showed...

A stem-tip necrosis disease was observed in the soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivar Columbia and its derivative OX686 when infected with a necrosis-causing strain of Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) in Canada. A dominant gene named Rsv3 was found in OX686 for the necrotic reaction. In the present research we have found that Columbia is resistant to all known SMV strains G1-G7, except G4. Geneti...

Abstract Information on nitrogen economy of grain legumes during seed filling is critical for their sustainable cultivation in rainfed agroecosystems, but a comparable assessment different under the same growth conditions lacking. The purpose this study was to examine species, cultivar and seasonal effects nodulation accumulation, remobilization, utilization. Five [common vetch ( Vicia sativa L...

The experiment was investigated to survey of yield and yield components of sunflower cultivars under drought stress in 2012 in Kabootatabad of Esfahan farm. An experiment was conducted in split plot and was designed in randomized complete block with three replications. Irrigation was as main plots in 3 levels (control (normal irrigation), irrigation of 130 mm evaporation from pan evaporation, i...

Transgenic papaya plants were regenerated from hypocotyls and immature zygotic embryo after cocultivation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens LBA-4404 carrying a binary plasmid vector system containing neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) gene as the selectable marker and β-glucuronidase (GUS) as the reporter gene. The explants were co-cultivated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens on regeneration medium ...

Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase (CCR) is responsible for the CoA ester to aldehyde conversion in monolignol biosynthesis, which diverts phenylpropanoid-derived metabolites into the biosynthesis of lignin. To gain a better understanding of lignin biosynthesis and its biological function, a cDNA encoding CCR was identified from wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), and designated as Ta-CCR1. Phylogenetic analysi...

Soybean germplasm exhibits various levels of resistance to Fusarium tucumaniae, the main causal agent of sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybean in Argentina. In this study, two soybean genotypes, one susceptible (NA 4613) and one partially resistant (DM 4670) to SDS infection, were inoculated with F. tucumaniae. Disease symptoms were scored at 7, 10, 14, and 25 days post-inoculation (dpi). The ...
