abstract in order to study of relationship between timing and duration of phenological events and grain yield of wheat plants, an experiment was performed at moghan college of agriculture and natural resources-university of mohaghegh ardabili research farm during 2010-2011. the plant materials (81 wheat cultivars) were evaluated using a simple lattice design with two replications under irrigate...

In wheat, stem water soluble carbohydrates (WSC), composed mainly of fructans, are the major carbon sources for grain filling during periods of decreasing photosynthesis or under drought stress after anthesis. Here, in a field drought experiment, WSC levels and associated enzyme activities were followed in different stem segments (peduncle, penultimate internode, lower parts of stem, and sheath...

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...

in arid and semi arid, seedling emergence and establishment are key stages for final plant density in chickpea production. drought stress, especially at the end of the growing season, is one of the factors which decrease a main part of chickpea grain yield in these areas. therefore the aims of this study were assess to the effects of hydro priming and hormonal priming by gibberellin and abscisi...

Our current knowledge about sulfur (S) management by winter oilseed rape to satisfy the S demand of developing seeds is still scarce, particularly in relation to S restriction. Our goals were to determine the physiological processes related to S use efficiency that led to maintain the seed yield and quality when S limitation occurred at the bolting or early flowering stages. To address these qu...

Hybrid rice varieties have higher yield potential over inbred varieties. This improvement is not always translated to the grain yield and its physiological causes are still unclear. In order to clarify it, two field experiments were conducted including two popular indica hybrids (BRRI hybrid dhan2 and Heera2) and one elite inbred (BRRI dhan45) rice varieties. Leaf area index, chlorophyll status...

in order to study effect of foliar application of iron and zinc on yield and yield components of autumn rapeseed (brassica napus l.) under limited irrigation an experiment was conducted at research farm of agricultural faculty of urmia university in 2009. the experiment was designed in split plot based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications. treatments were drought (irrigation ...
