in order to study the phenological and morphological characteristics, comparison of yield and yield components, correlation between traits and determination of the parameters affecting seed yield, a field experiment was carried out at the research farm of shahrekord university in 2007. ten lentil genotypes were compared by a randomized complete block design with three replications. the analysis...

High frequency nonionizing electromagnetic fields (HF-EMF) that are increasingly present in the environment constitute a genuine environmental stimulus able to evoke specific responses in plants that share many similarities with those observed after a stressful treatment. Plants constitute an outstanding model to study such interactions since their architecture (high surface area to volume rati...

The experimental material consisted seven mutagenic populations of chickpea in M3 and M4 generation, control (Avarodhi) and check variety Pusa 312. The experiment was conducted during rabi 2009-10 and 2010-11. On the basis of per se performance, six mutagenic populations were selected for high seed yield coupled with high harvest index and more number of pods per plant. None of the mutagenic po...

Sixteen Jatropha curcas genotypes collected from four states were grown in randomized block design and evaluated for 12 characters. The genotypes showed significant differences in most component traits and seed yield, excepting primary branches/plant, fruits/bunch and seeds/fruit. The genotypes Utkal nursery, Phule1, IST 1, Jodhpur1 and Chhatrapati had above average (>84.7 g) seed yield/plant. ...
