abstract this reasearch was conducted to study the phenotypic diversity of thymus kotschyanus populations. seeds were collected from natural inhabitats (guilan, mazandaran, west azarbaijan, semnan and qazvin) and planted in qom reasearch station in 2007. a number of some such different morphological and phenological traits of the plants as plant,s height, leaf length, leaf width, oil content, i...

The name Pethia melanomaculata (Deraniyagala) is available for the Sri Lankan fish previously referred to P. ticto, being distinguished from its Indian congeners by the combination of the following characters; having ½4/1/3½ scales in transverse line on body; body depth 32.4-41.5% of standard length (SL); head length (HL) 26.1-29.2% of SL; snout length 25.3-35.6% of HL; eye diameter 24.4-31.9% ...

Phenotypic characterization has been recognized as very important for the identification and selection of promising lines in improvement programs. This study aimed at characterizing selecting early-maturing high-yielding African yam bean (AYB) mutant M2 generation. The experiment was carried out experimental field Institute Agricultural Research Training, Nigeria. design used a randomized compl...

Agricultural robots were designed based on the characteristics of target crop. In this study, two varieties black pepper including Kaimunda and Panniyur 1 evaluated for physical parameters to design a robotic harvester. The main objective study was measure analyze properties regard, studies conducted spike, peduncle, berry, vine separately. results showed that average length diameter spikes Kar...

Mechanized harvesting of cucumbers offers significant advantages compared to manual labor as both shortages and costs of labor increase. However the efficient use of machines depends on breeding plants with longer peduncles, but the genetic and molecular basis of fruit peduncle development in cucumber is not well understood. In this study, F2 populations were developed from a cross between two ...

The ultrastructure of the radial neuromuscular system of the trachymedusa Liriope tetraphylla was examined to determine the morphological substrate underlying crumpling behavior--the folding of the margin into the subumbrellar cavity by radial muscle contraction. These contractions are produced by the four smooth muscle bands that run the length of the peduncle and extend over the subumbrellar ...
