Maize plant height is closely associated with biomass, lodging resistance and grain yield. Determining the genetic basis of plant height by characterizing and cloning plant height genes will guide the genetic improvement of crops. In this study, a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for plant height, qPH3.1, was identified on chromosome 3 using populations derived from a cross between Zong3 and its ...

in order to evaluate a better sowing date of chickpea cultivars in dry land conditions, a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with four replications was carried out at research station of bahar (hamadan province) during 2005-2006 cropping season. two planting time included winter and spring and four chickpea cultivars (cvs.) including one local (check) and three improved cv...

in order to study the morphological characteristics affecting yield of echium amoenum under different nutritional treatments and different plant densities, a factorial experiment based on rcbd design with three replications was conducted at agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran in 2011-2013 growing seasons. the experimental treatments were all combination of three ...

Objective: Chamomile is one of the commercial medicinal plants produced in Ethiopia. Besides, it is priority crop in national aromatic and medicinal plants research project in the country. As chamomile production affected by production techniques this activity was conducted to identify the effect of seed storage duration and seedling raising methods on its seedling establishmen...

in order to investigate effects of plant density and fertilizer rates on agronomic characteristic and yield tobacco (nicotiana tabacum) (cv k326) an experiment was conducted in the experimental field of tirtash research and education center. design of experiment was randomized complete block with factorial arrangement with three replications and 36 treatments conducted in 2007 year. treatments ...

Chlormequat (cycocel or CCC), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in Brassica oleracea cultivar ‘Kamome White’ and ‘Nagoya Red’. Different concentrations of CCC (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/L) were sprayed and drenched on plants 40 days after transplanting. Data were recorded the 60 and 90 days after transplanting. The 1500 mg/L of CCC resulted in abou...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of fertilizers on the yield and essential oils of basil. this experiment was carried out in completely randomized block design with three replications in jiroft area. the treatments included three levels of barvar 2 (10, 20 and 25 g/ha), cow manure at three levels (5, 10 and 15 ton/ha), ammonium phosphate and superphosphate triple each at three le...
