oroginal article tiller is a handy multi – a purpose tractor is used in agriculture. the noise emitted from tiller may be seriously affected auditory system users. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the exposure to noise in operators of this device. in this study 36cultivator tiller was examined. measurement of sound is based in iso 5131-1996 and iso 7216 standard and was conducted in in...

From 1998 to 2001, the relationship between the proportion of tillers with >0 mummified aphids (Ptm) and the proportion of cereal aphids parasitized (Pp) was estimated on 57 occasions in fields of hard red winter wheat located in central and western Oklahoma. Both original (57 fields) and validation data (34 fields; 2001-2002) revealed weak relationships between Ptm and Pp, however, when Ptm > ...

A suitable planting pattern and irrigation strategy are essential for optimizing winter wheat yield and water use efficiency (WUE). The study aimed to evaluate the impact of planting pattern and irrigation frequency on grain yield and WUE of winter wheat. During the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 winter wheat growing seasons in the North China Plain, the effects of planting patterns and irrigation fre...

Drought represents a key limiting factor of global crop distribution. Receptor-like kinases play major roles in plant development and defence responses against stresses such as drought. In this study, LRK2, which encodes a leucine-rich receptor-like kinase, was cloned and characterized and found to be localized on the plasma membrane in rice. Promoter-GUS analysis revealed strong expression in ...

in order to determine the best planting date and seeding rate of two triticale genotype in mashhad climate condition on 2007-2009 growing season, an experiment was carried out, using a split-plot design based on randomized complete block design with three replication, at torogh agricultural research station, mashhad, iran. main plots devoted to five seeding dates and factorial combination of th...

Overwintering rice can survive through the natural cold-winter field environment, sprout from tillering node in following spring, tiller, flower, seed, and being harvested autumn, which is a type of an extreme case cold tolerance rice. The successful utilization most economical strategy for cultivar breeding project. This work aims to identify OW future development cultivars. Altogether 1034 Ch...

Cereal crop yield is determined by different yield components such as seed weight, seed number per spike and the tiller number and spikes. Negative correlations between these traits are often attributed to resource limitation. However, recent evidence suggests that the same genes or regulatory modules can regulate both inflorescence branching and tillering. It is therefore important to explore ...

Wilhelm, W.W., McMaster, G.S., Rickrnan, R.W. and Klepper, B., 1993. Above-ground vegetative development and growth of winter wheat as influenced by nitrogen and water availability. Ecol. Modelling, 68: 183-203. Assessing the influence of nitrogen and water availability on development and growth of individual organs of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is critical in evaluating the response o...

Proper branching and successful reproductive growth is of great importance for rice productivity. Substantial progress has been made in uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying tillering control and spikelet sterility. However, rice tillering is developmentally controlled, and how it is regulated coordinately with reproductive growth remains unclear. This study characterized a rice mutant...

Bunchgrasses are one of the most important plant functional groups in grassland ecosystems. Reproductive allocation (RA) for a bunchgrass is a hierarchical process; however, how bunchgrasses adjust their RAs along hierarchical levels in response to nutrient addition has never been addressed. Here, utilizing an 11-year nutrient addition experiment, we examined the patterns and variations in RA o...
