To identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the traits which could be used as the selection index for increasing of grain yield, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Norstar and Zagros cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The measured characters consisted of peduncle weight, ...

Nitrate is a major nitrogen resource for cereal crops; thus, understanding nitrate signaling in cereal crops is valuable for engineering crops with improved nitrogen use efficiency. Although several regulators have been identified in nitrate sensing and signaling in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), the equivalent information in cereals is missing. Here, we isolated a nitrate-inducible and ce...

the crop simulation models are heuristic tools in order to determine optimal of management strategies and analyzing yield stability in agroecosystems. the objective of this study was to evaluate cropsyst model ability for simulating of development, growth and yield of wheat cultivars from golestan province in response to planting date. the results of model evaluation were acceptable so that, th...

in this work, response surface methodology (rsm) and artificial neural network (ann) were used to predict the decolorization efficiency of reactive red 33 (rr 33) by o3/uv process in a bubble column reactor. the effects of four independent variables including time (20-60 min), superficial gas velocity (0.06-0.18 cm/s), initial concentration of dye (50-150 ppm) and ph (3-11) were investigated us...

In order to determine the responses of morphological characteristics, yield and yield components of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) to plant density and weed interference duration, a factorial experiment was conducted using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications at the Rice Research Institute of Iran (RRII) in Rasht, in the 2008 growing season. The factors comprised plant density a...

Boron (B) deficiency of soybean has been routinely observed in numerous fields in northeast Arkansas since 2001 and has stimulated interest in B fertilization of both rice and soybean in Arkansas. In 2002, scientists from Arkansas, Louisiana, and Missouri established similar research trials in each state to investigate rice yield response to B fertilization. Boron fertilizer was applied at rate...
