Increasing rice yield potential is essential to secure world food supply. The quantitative trait locus qTSN4 was reported to achieve yield increases by enhancing both source and sink capacity. Three greenhouse experiments and one field experiment in the Philippines were conducted to study near-isogenic lines (NILs) in two genetic backgrounds, subjected to treatments with restricted light resour...

for study the effect of arbuscularmycorrhiza fungi a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out in the summer of 1389 at the agricultural research station in city of zahak. the experiment included two factors; the first factor was inoculated glomus mossea mycorrhiza and no-inoculated one. the second factor was in four varieties of corn: s.c...

a study of physiological responses of different wheat cultivars to saline conditions can lead to an identification of the main mechanisms in salt tolerance. seven bread wheat cultivars differing in salt tolerance with varying ability of sodium accumulation in their different tissues were employed to assess ion distribution and sodium accumulation under saline conditions. ion distribution and na...

A study of genetic variation and interrelationship among grain yield and its component traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.) was carried out using 64 exotic rice genotypes. Maximum genotypic and phenotypic variance was exhibited by number of spikelets per panicle followed by plant height and days to maturity. The maximum GCV and PCV was exhibited by number of spikelets per panicle followed by number...

Two field experiments were conducted in 2009 and 2010 to evaluate some physiological traits and yield of three hybrid rice varieties (BRRI hybrid dhan2, Heera2, and Tia) in comparison to BRRI dhan48 in Aus season. The experiments involved four planting dates (1 April, 16 April, 1 May and 16 May). Compared to BRRI dhan48, hybrid varieties accumulated greater shoot dry matter at anthesis, higher ...
