A set of laboratory tests was conducted in 2015, at the Central Seed Administration, Ministry Agriculture andForestry, Khartoum, Sudan, with objective to investigate effect late sowing and hydro priming times on some seed vigour attributes five chickpea lines ( DR1-27-5; DR1-44; DR1-109; DR1-114 DR1- 115). Seeds were provided by Hudeiba Research Station, from planting optimum date (November); (...

Seed size distinguishes most crops from their wild relatives and is an important quality trait for the grain legume cowpea. In order to breed cowpea varieties with larger seeds we introgressed a rare haplotype associated with large seeds at the Css-1 locus from an African buff seed type cultivar, IT82E-18 (18.5 g/100 seeds), into a blackeye seed type cultivar, CB27 (22 g/100 seed). Four recombi...

MOTIVATION Standard search techniques for DNA repeats start by identifying small matching words, or seeds, that may inhabit larger repeats. Recent innovations in seed structure include spaced seeds and indel seeds which are more sensitive than contiguous seeds. Evaluating seed sensitivity requires (i) specifying a homology model for alignments and (ii) assigning probabilities to those alignment...

to determine the association between genetic parameters and traits in chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) genotypes, a field experiment was conducted with 17 chickpea genotypes using a randomized complete block design with four replications at the ilam agricultural and natural resources research center in the 2004 growing season. genetic parameters including genetic, environmental and phenotypic vari...

abstract there is a world-wide effort to reduce the amount of chemicals used in crop production by introducing modern biological and ecological methods. one possible alternative is allelopathy. a laboratory trial was carried out to investigate of alleopathic potential of angelica . in this study the effect of different concentrations of aqueous extract of angelica herb was investigated on seed ...

The current study is a field experiment set out to comprehend significance of the iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles for use as seed priming agents and their subsequent impact in alleviating water stress improving agronomic profile flax plants. experimental layout consisted split-plot factorial design with one main plot divided into two subplots corresponding drought well-irrigated environment. Each...

Standard search techniques for DNA repeats start by identifying seeds, that is, small matching words, that may inhabit larger repeats. Recent innovations in seed structure have led to the development of spaced seeds [8] and indel seeds [9] which are more sensitive than contiguous seeds (also known as k-mers, k-tuples, l-words, etc.). Evaluating seed sensitivity requires 1) specifying a homology...
