In order to study the effect of foliar spray of microelement fertilizers Fe, Zn and Cu on yield
and yield components of durum wheat (cv. Dehdasht) an experiment was conducted as strip …

Drought stress is one of the most important abiotic stresses influencing performance of crop
plants. Therefore, the identification or development of tolerant genotypes is of high …

In this study, observations and measurements were made on five grafts for each of 30 clones
in three successive years (2006, 2007 and 2008) on Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) seed …

Excessive waste production has led to the concept of a circular bioeconomy to deliver
valuable by-products and improve environmental sustainability. The annual worldwide rice …

Background Rice is considered as a salt-sensitive plant, particularly at early vegetative stage,
and its production is suffered from salinity due to expansion of salt affected land in areas …

The wild abortive cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS‐WA) system, an ideal type of sporophytic
CMS in indica rice, is used for the large‐scale commercial production of hybrid rice. …

An important step in plant breeding programs is identification of parents that are genetically
distant from each other, to find crossing combinations with better prospects of hybrid vigor. …

Drought stress due to water deficit is a major problem of rice cultivation as a most drought-sensitive
crop plant. A rice mutant line (MT58) was developed after mutagenesis of cv. Neda …

Cellulose is the most abundant unique biopolymer in nature with widespread applications
in bioenergy and high‐value bioproducts. The large transmembrane‐localized cellulose …

The combination of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in one parent and a restorer gene (Rf)
to restore fertility in another are indispensable for the development of hybrid varieties. To …
