abstract tuberose is one of the most important cut flowers in iran and the world. in this experiment, effect of microelements fe, zn, cu and mn on inflorescence length, inflorescence bunch length, number and diameter of floret, diameter of inflorescence bunch and vase life of tuberose flowers were studied. this study was based on four separate completely randomized experimental design with four...

to study the effect of plant density and planting pattern on iranian ox-tongue, an experiment carried out with two factors: planting pattern (square and rectangular pattern) and plant density (2, 4, 6, 8 plant m-2) in a factorial test performed based on rcbd in 3 replications during 2009-2010 in latmahalleh eshkevarat village in guilan province, iran. characteristics that measured included: dry...

The aim of this study was to use multivariate methods and Pearson and partial correlations to disregard phenotypic characteristics that contribute little to differentiation between Brachiaria ruziziensis genotypes. Eighty-one genotypes of B. ruziziensis were assessed in completely randomized blocks with three replications. Ten phenotypic characteristics were assessed: plant height, leaf length,...

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...

Vitis vinifera glycosyl hydrolase family 17 (VvGHF17) is a grape apoplasmic β-1,3-glucanase, which belongs to glycosyl hydrolase family 17 in grapevines. β-1,3-glucanase is not only involved in plant defense response but also has various physiological functions in plants. Although VvGHF17 expression is negatively related to the length of inflorescence in grapevines, the physiological functions ...

Among the wild-type ecotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana whose shape of inflorescence is categorized as raceme, the ecotype Landsberg harboring the erecta (er) mutation shows a corymb-like inflorescence, namely, a compact inflorescence with a flattened arrangement of flower buds at the tip. The fact that the ER gene encodes a receptor-like protein kinase implies the presence of a signaling cascade ...

The number of pods per common bean plant is a primary component of grain yield, which depends on the number of flowers produced and on the flower set. Thus, a larger number of flowers per plant would increase yield. Lines with inflorescences that had a large number of flowers compared to common bean plants now under cultivation were identified. We analyzed the genetic control of this trait and ...

The objective of this study was to determine the appropriate growth stage of inflorescence (spathe) explants among different cultivars of the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) and to define the optimum period of incubation on high-auxin medium. Inflorescence explants were excised from seven Pakistani cvs. at different growth stages and cultured on a basal MS medium containing 100 mg l 2,4-D fo...

evaluation of morphological variations in 70 genotypes of seven accessions of thymus caramanicus jalas.growing in central iran was carried out, for determining valuable characters for future breeding programs and medicinal purposes. in this study 30 quantitative and qualitative characters were evaluated. the results revealed great variabilities of important traits among populations. results of ...
