Aspergillus niger forms aerial hyphae and conidiophores after a period of vegetative growth. The hyphae within the mycelium of A. niger are divided by septa. The central pore in these septa allows for cytoplasmic streaming. Here, we studied inter- and intra-compartmental streaming of the reporter protein GFP in A. niger. Expression of the gene encoding nuclear targeted GFP from the gpdA or glaA...

Knowledge of seasonal maximum potential growth rates are important for assessing periods of resource limitations in fruit tree species. In this study we assessed the periods of resource limitation for vegetative (current year stems, and woody biomass) and reproductive (fruit) organs of a major agricultural crop: the apple tree. This was done by comparing relative growth rates (RGRs) of individu...

the aim of this experiment was the study of dry matter and nitrogen (n) accumulation, remobilization and harvest index in different wheat cultivars. five bread wheat cultivars (darya, kuhdasht, shiroudi, tajan and zagros) and two durum wheat cultivars (arya and dena) were studied under optimum growth conditions during 2008-2009 at research field of gorgan university of agricultural sciences and...

rangelands have been composed of different plant species that emergence of phenological stages in every one of them will be influenced by environmental and genetic factors. in order to exploit the time and achieve acceptable performance in each plant species, it is necessary that the emergence of biological phenomena are recorded and studied. the objective of the present study is to survey the ...

Turions play an important role in the survival strategy of the duckweed Spirodela polyrhiza. Therefore, factors influencing the formation of these survival organs were studied. Phosphate deficiency is the main natural factor inducing turion formation and the specific turion yield (SY), i.e. the number of turions formed per frond, varied widely for five different clones from different climate zo...

this study was carried out in the agro-industry complex of gohar kouh, khash in iranshahr. a split-plot experiment based on rcbd was employed with three irrigation intervals including 1: 30 day interval 2: 40 days of irrigation interval 3: 60 day irrigation interval along with three levels of nitrogen application including 1: no nitrogen fertilizer 2: 750 grams of nitrogen fertilizer per tree 3...

The present study was conducted to identify nutritional value of Rumex obtusifolius in three phenological stages (vegetative growth, flowering, and maturity). Samples were randomly taken in pastures of Saravan in Rasht, Iran in 2015. After drying and grinding, the chemical compositions of Crude Protein (CP), Crude Fiber (CF), Ether Extract (EE), Total Ash (ASH), Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF), a...

abstractbackground and objectives: all changes in the development stages of plants results in the change of one or more yield components and finally, the ultimate yield and manipulation of these periods means to create new possibilities for increasing yield. accordingly, planting date has a significant impact on plant growth and development during the growth season, so that any shift in plantin...
