We have compared the flowering response to vernalization, photoperiod, and far-red (FR) light of the Columbia (Col) and Landsberg erecfa (Ler) ecotypes of Arabidopsis into which the flowering-time locus FRIGIDA (FRI) has been introgressed with that of the wild types Col, Ler, and San Feliu-2 (Sf-2). In the early-flowering parenta1 ecotypes, Col and ler, a large decrease in flowering time in res...

background & aim: german chamomile is one of the most important medicinal plants. so, assessment of genetic diversity and relationship among the traits are very essential in chamomile breeding programs. determination of the best indirect selection criteria for genetic improvement of essence percent and dry flower yield of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l.) populations was investiga...

in order to study the morphological, phenological and yield characteristics of 70 desi chickpea genotypes, a trial was conducted on 2007 in research farm of agriculture faculty of ferdowsi university of mashhad. in this study, 70 desi chickpea genotypes from ferdowsi university of mashhad seed bank, were planted in plots without replication including one to four planting rows at maximum length ...

Twenty one F2 progenies derived from a 7×7 diallel crosses along with parents were evaluated for grain yield, flowering and maturity time. Due to significant genotypic effects for all traits, genetic analyses were performed on F2 progenies including analyses of combining ability and genetic components. The Analysis of variance revealed that both additive and non-additive genetic effects were in...

We examine the flowering phenology of the cultural iconic Spring Snowflake Leucojum vernum, a considerable tourist attraction, recorded from two sites in western Poland. Flowering dates at the two sites were closely correlated but about 6 days later at the more natural area. The end of flowering was associated with the start of canopy leafing. Early flowering was related to a longer flowering s...

In soybean, long days during post-flowering increase seed number. This positive photoperiodic effect on seed number has been previously associated with increments in the amount of radiation accumulated during the crop cycle because long days extend the duration of the crop cycle. However, evidence of intra-nodal processes independent of the availability of assimilates suggests that photoperiodi...
