in this study, the effect of four citrus rootstocks {sour orange (citrus aurantium), bakraeii (c. reticulata × c. aurantium, mexican lime (c. aurantifolia) and volkamerlemon (c. volkameriana)} on orlando tangelo leaf chlorophyll content and mineral element concentrations (n, p, k, ca, na, mg, fe, zn, mn, cl, cu, and b) have been evaluated in completely randomized design with four replications. ...

The aim of this study was to determine nature and extent of variability parameters and their utilization in barley breeding programme. A total of 45 F1s along with their parents and F2 populations were evaluated in a randomized block design with 3 replications during Rabi (winter season) 2014. The various traits measured were days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, flag leaf area...

in order to evaluate of morphological, physiological and biochemical traits, related to drought tolerance, an experiment was carried out in field condition. in this study two commercial cultivars (mcc361, mcc358), three kabuli and three deci type of tolerant genotypes (mcc392, mcc537, mcc696, mcc873, mcc870, mcc10,) and three kabuli and three deci type of susceptible genotypes (mcc759, mcc588, ...

Photosynthetic rate is an indicator of vegetation performance as a carbon sequestration element on earth. At the same time, primary productivity is also function of photosynthetic rate and canopy cover. The photosynthetic capacity of an ecosystem is limited by the foliage pigment content due to the active participation of pigmentation in photon capture. Hence, the quantitative assessment of fol...

In northern Italy, several local varieties are grown in regional field trials with the aim of selecting the best cultivars for specific environments. In this paper, two northern varieties from Liguria (Razzola and Taggiasca) are compared to a widespread cultivar (Frantoio) to test the degree of plasticity and adaptation in leaf characters. Leaf gas exchange, N content and morphological paramete...

Potential increases in plant productivity in response to increasing atmospheric CO(2) concentration are likely to be constrained by nutrient limitations. However, the interactive effects of nitrogen nutrition and CO(2) concentration on growth are difficult to define because both factors affect several aspects of growth, including photosynthesis, respiration, and leaf area. By expressing growth ...

this study was conducted under ahvaz, iran environmental condition during 2012 and 2013 growing seasons in order to investigate the influence of foliar application of potassium on some physiological and biochemical characteristics of three olive cultivars including ‘mission’, ‘koroneiki’ and ‘dezfuli’. potassium sulfate in different concentrations of 0, 1, and 2 g l-1 was sprayed twice on selec...

for comparison the growth characteristics and quantitative and qualitative yield of two summer savory species (such as satureja khuzestanica and s. rechingeri) in response to rainfed and irrigated conditions, an experiment was carried out on the basis of split-plot design in completely randomized block design with three replicates in north of khuzestan during growing season of 2012-2013. irriga...
