in this experiment, the possibility of growth promoting of exogenous salicylic acid during two growth stags on chlorophyll content, yield and yield components of canola plant was investigated. for the purpose of improving above traits, salicylic acid was applied in four concentrations (0, 100, 200 and 400 µm) during two different growing stages (first time; when temperature was close to 7-10 °c...

In complex task domains, such as games, students may exceed their teachers. Such tasks afford diverse means to tradeoff one type of performance for another, combining task elements in novel ways to yield method variations and strategy discoveries that, if mastered, might produce large or small leaps in performance. For the researcher interested in the development of extreme expertise in the wil...

Among the several fish species comercially exploited at the Pantanal of Mato Grosso do Sul, the "pacu" (Piaractus mesopotamicus) stands as one of the most important. Information regarding its exploitation level is necessary for the proper management of its stocks. Between 1996 and 1997 data on total length of the pacu were collected on a monthly basis from specimens caught by professional and s...

Management of nitrogen fertilization in crops is one of the most important components of integrated weed management. A two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the direct effects of wild mustard aboveground biomass and N content of wild mustard on oilseed rape yield. A set of factorial treatments was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments w...

the impact of climate change in the next few decades will increase risks of wheat production under dryland conditions. therefore, it is important to find cultivars that are tolerant to these conditions and can provide reasonable yield under future climates. radiation use efficiency (rue) is the key factor determining the crop yield and is related to crop biomass and leaf area index (lai). t...

Currently, most ethanol produced in the United States is derived from maize kernel, at levels in excess of four billion gallons per year. Plant lignocellulosic biomass is renewable, cheap and globally available at 10-50 billion tons per year. At present, plant biomass is converted to fermentable sugars for the production of biofuels using pretreatment processes that disrupt the lignocellulose a...

abstract to assay the effect of acetylsalicylic acid pretreatment on enhancement of yield and yield components of barley (reihan-03) under water stress condition, an experiment was conducted as a spilt-plot arrangement based on randomized complete block design with four replications at the research field of shahid bahonar university of kerman, iran, in 2012-2013. irrigation condition was arrang...
