intra-specific variations in apex development of two salt-tolerant cultivars (cross rowshan 11 (cr) and kharchia-65) and one salt-sensitive cultivar (ghods) of spring wheat (triticum aestivum l.) grown in sand culture at selected levels of salinity (0, 100, 200, and 300 mol m-3 nacl and cacl2 in 5:1 molar ratio) were studied. to determine the apex lengths and the number of spikelet primordi...

Smirnovia iranica, a native valuable woody species from Fabaceae, is an adaptable plant of central sandy areas of Iran. Changes in chlorophyll fluorescence and photosynthetic pigments characteristics were analyzed in the course of phenological stages including vegetative, flowering, seed ripening, and seed falling stages, respectively (VS, FS, SRS, and SFS). The results obtained from analysis o...

Studies dedicated to understanding the behavior of pathogens in relation to their hosts are the starting point for any breeding program aimed to develop resistant cultivars. The objective of this study was to analyze the resistance to Septoria tritici Rob in 77 F11 progenies of wheat derived from the three-way cross Tadinia × (Yecora rojo × UC554) in the phenological stages of seedling, tilleri...

information on quality characteristics of forage species help the range managers to select a suitable grazing program that minimizes the damages to vegetation. water soluble carbohydrates (wsc) -the main photosynthetic products- are stored in various plant parts and are more likely to be consumed when plants require them. in order to investigate the changes of wsc in distinguishable organs in t...

in this study, aerial parts of lippia citriodora kunth were harvested at three phenological stages (i.e. vegetative, full flowering and fruit set). the essential oil isolated by hydro distillation for 3 h using a clevenger-type apparatus and the oil was analyzed by gc and gc-ms. the yields of oils (w/w%) in different stages was in the order of: full flowering (0.9%), vegetative (0.48%) and frui...

this study was conducted to determine the chemical composition, metabolizable energy, digestibility and ability of gas production of poa trivialis. samples was collected at three phenological stages including: vegetative growth, flowering and seedling on two different elevations of 1300 to 1500 m and 2000 to 1800 m asl in neor and hir region as the first and second sites, respectively. testing ...
