concinciding of wheat growth in post-anthesis period by water deficiency can result in reduction of current photosynthesis. in this circumstance stem-stored carbohydrate from pre-anthesis period had an important role in supporting assimilates for growing grain. an experiment was conducted in 2007-8 in experimental farm of arsanjan islamic azad university, in order to investigation the quantity ...

This study investigated the interactive effects of different rates of deficit irrigation and timings of N application on wheat and barley yields since there was no report on this important subject. Field experiments in strip-plot designs using sprinkler line sources were conducted for two years at a semi-arid Mediterranean site. The experiments consisted of 4 and 7 irrigation levels with 3 and ...

Crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum L.) breeding programs aim to develop later maturing cultivars for extending early spring grazing in Western Canada. Plant maturity is a complex genetic trait, and little is known about genes associated with late maturity in this species. An attempt was made using RNA-Seq to profile the transcriptome of crested wheatgrass maturity and to analyze differenti...

to study the effect of urea application in safflower (carthamus tinctorius) and determination of effective traits on its yield, a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design in three replications was conducted in tabriz, iran, during 2012. studied factors were urea rate levels as 100, 150 and 200 kg/ha and urea application times 100% in sowing time, 50% sowing time + 50% stem...

Floret development is critical for grain setting in wheat (Triticum aestivum), but more than 50% of grain yield potential (based on the maximum number of floret primordia) is lost during the stem elongation phase (SEP, from the terminal spikelet stage to anthesis). Dynamic plant (e.g., leaf area, plant height) and floret (e.g., anther and ovary size) growth and its connection with grain yield t...

A field experiment was conducted over 2 years to evaluate the gas exchange, water relations and water use efficiency (WUE) of wheat under different water stress and nitrogen management practices at Crop Physiology Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. Pakistan. Four irrigation levels, i.e. one irrigation (Irrigation at tillering stage), two irrigations (Irrigations at tillering ...
