the present research was conducted under laboratory and field condition to determine seed priming effects on maize inbred line's germination, emergence, and grain yield. seeds of two maize inbred lines include of mo17 (as paternal line) and b73 (as maternal line with cytoplasmic sterility) in the laboratory conditions were subjected to hydropriming for 12, 24, 36 and 48 h, or osmoticprimin...

There is substantial diversity in Achillea biebersteinii plants in Iran. It has considerable different biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, insecticidal, herbicidal and wound healing. Research improvement for medicinal plants depends on the available genetic diversity. The assessment of genetic variability could increase the information for breeding programs. ...

To assessment effect of concentration and times of disinfection wheat seeds, infected by Aspergillus fungus a research was conducted based on Factorial experiment according randomized complete block design with four replications. The factors included four levels of sodium hypochlorite (2, 4, 6, and 8%) and four times of seed disinfection (2, 5, 7, and 10 minutes). Result of analysis of variance...

Six varieties of durum wheat were included in a full diallel mating design during 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 cropping seasons in the farm of Maragheh Dryland Agricultural Research Institute (DARI), Iran. Parental durum wheat genotypes and their complete diallel progenies were grown in a randomized complete block design with two replications in the growing seasons of 2005-06. The highest values of ...

environmental stresses specially drought, play an important role in decreasing plant growth, particularly during germination in dry and semi dry area. to considering the effect of drought stress caused by polyethylene glycol on germination and characteristics of 2 spices of sesamum indicum, we had done factorial and complete accidental plot with 4 treatments and 3 times repetition. experimental...
