Read More To investigate water deficit stress influence on stem elongation, flowering stage and some physiological characters of three canola (Brassica napus) cultivars including total dry matter, grain yield, total soluble sugars and starch, proline and osmotic potential this study was carried out in the green house of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz in 2008-2009 growing season. The experiment was factorial based on complete randomized design arrangement in three replications. The first factor comprised cultivars (including Hyola 308, Hyola 401 and RGS003) and the second factor was water deficit stress including water deficit in the early stem elongation to early-flowering stage (D1), early-flowering stage to early sac appearance (D2), early stem elongation to early sac appearance (D3) and normal irrigation conditions (D4). The results showed that the lowest and the highest reduction in shoot dry matter and grain yield was measured in Hyola 401 and Hyola308, respectively. The lowest shoot dry matter was in Hyola 308 (from the early stem elongation to early sac emergence stages) (22 grams per plant) and the highest shoot dry matter was in Hyola 401 (74 grams per plant) in normal conditions. In the stress conditions, shoot dry matter in all cultivars decreased. The amount of reduction during the flowering stage was more than early stem elongation stage showing more sensitivity of flowering stage to the stem elongation stage in water deficit stress. The interaction of water stress and variety showed significant differences in total soluble sugar, starch, proline, osmotic potential (P≤ 0.01), shoots dry matter and grain yield (P≤ 0.05). Furthermore, in the stress conditions participation in osmotic regulation process and reduction of negative effects of water deficit stress increased the amount of the total soluble sugars and proline of leaves. The lowest leaf osmotic potential (-2.23 Mpa) and the highest osmotic potential (-1.65 Mpa) were determined in Hyola 401, and Hyola 308 for D3 and D4 respectively. Decrease (become more negative) of osmotic potential because of more tolerance of Hyola 401 to water deficit stress was also assessed. According to the results of this study, Hyola 401, RGS003 and Hyola 308 were assessed for tolerance, semi tolerance and susceptibility to water deficit stress respectively.

Read More Given the important role of crop growth indices for explanation of cultivars yield differences in diverse environmental and agronomical circumstances, this experiment was conducted at research field of Tarbiat Modares University during 2007 growing season. Experimental treatments were arranged in split-plot layout based on randomized complete blocks with four replications. In this research, sowing dates (8th June, 28th June and 18th July) were considered as the main plots and grain sorghum cultivars (Payam, Sepideh and Kimia) were arranged in sub plots. By means of measurement of dry weight and leaf area during several sampling in growing season of sorghum, some important physiological growth indices including total dry matter (TDM), crop growth rate (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR), leaf area index (LAI) and net assimilation rate (NAR) were estimated and calculated using functional approach based on growing degree days. Results showed that delayed sowing date reduced sorghum dry weight accumulation. The CGR trend was directly related to dry weight accumulation, so that Sepideh cultivar in first sowing date obtained the highest amount of growth rate and dry matter. Dry matter increment in this cultivar in first sowing date was accompanied by dry weight panicle (165.93 g/m2). The relative growth rate of all cultivars in second sowing date had the highest amount. Results in case of the interaction between LAI and NAR showed, despite Payam cultivar having earning lower leaf area index, that NAR in this cultivar was superior. Finally, payam cultivar took an average amount of CGR. Sepideh cultivar, taking the average amount of NAR (0.763 g/m2/gdd) and LAI (2.65), showed higher amount of CGR (2.06 g/m2/gdd). Therefore, obtaining the highest amounts of CGR and RGR in second sowing date (28th June) could be introduced as the mechanism of superior grain yield (6777.2 kg/ha) and harvest index (48.75 %) in Sepideh cultivar.

Read More The increasing of planting density of bulbous flowers is one of the most important step for more production of ornamental plants. One of the possible methods for increasing density, is cultivation of bulb plants in multiple rows pattern. In this research, the effect of one, two, and three row planting design bed were investigated on flowering and quality of Gladiolus (Gladiolus hybrida cv.Oscar) cut flower in climatic condition of Mollasani in Khuzestan province, located in south west of Iran on 1388 through 1389.. The treatments were the cultivation of corms in on row of 30 × 20 cm (control) and two and three-bed row (20 cm on row, 30 cm between main row and/or pattern with distance of 15, 20 and 25 cm between subordinate row). The results showed that cultivation of corm in three-row bed pattern with distance of 25 cm between subordinate row and/or cultivation of two-bed and three-bed row in distance between subordinate rows of 15 and 20 cm causes significant decreases on weight of cut flower, stem diameter and height of spike. Height of cut flower was not significantly different only in treatment of two-bed row with distance of 25 cm between subordinate rows when compared to control. The number of cormels were significantly decreased In treatment of three-bed cultivation pattern with distance of 25 cm between subordinate rows, as compared to control. The number of floret, only, in cultivation pattern of two-bed and three-bed row with distance of 15 cm between rows had significantly decreased when compared to control treatment. These treatments had no significant effect on diameter of cut flower, height of spike, diameter, width and weight of corms. The results indicated that the cultivation of gladiolus in pattern of multiple rows is possible but the decrease of distance between rows, reduce the quality of cut flower. It strongly suggested that more researches require to accomplish on various distances on subordinate rows.
