Abstract:
... As plant breeding is a very complex and sophisticated process, it is of paramount importance to understand the nature and magnitude of interdependence between specific plant features. Using PCA and correlation analysis, this study examined the variability in features of two types of inbred sunflower lines and determined its connection with their seed yields. The experiment was conducted as a rando ...

Abstract:
... Environmental pollution caused by burning linseed stem is a worldwide problem, which is especially serious in Kazakhstan. In order to solve this problem, we hope to screen out the flax varieties with no decrease in seed yield, but the flax varieties with a significant increase in stem yield instead of linseed varieties. We have tested some flax varieties in Kazakhstan in 2019. According to the res ...

Abstract:
... Choke disease, which is caused by Epichloë typhina, was first reported in orchardgrass seed production fields in the Willamette Valley, Oregon in 1997 and has continued to persist in the system. The disease can cause up to 30% losses in seed yield. Unlike many Epichloë species that are seed transmitted, it is unclear how infection of orchardgrass by E. typhina occurs in the field, or how the disea ...

Abstract:
... Sunflower (Helianthus annus L.) is one of the major oilseeds of India and cultivated extensively in both Alfisols and Vertisols of Karnataka. Low productivity of crop in high spread areas of Karnataka is due to various biophysical constraints. In the present study, the performance of sunflower was evaluated under best management practices (BMP) over farmer’s practice in three soil series, viz. Man ...

Abstract:
... Precision planters are recently being adopted for seeding canola to improve crop establishment and seed yield. This study determined the effect of seeding canola using precision planters (30.5 and 50.8 cm seeding row width) and conventional air drill seeders at different rates (20, 40, 60, 80, and 160 seeds m⁻²) on plant density and seed yield. The study was conducted for 4 yr (2016 to 2019) at th ...

Abstract:
... Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.), the Queen of oilseeds, is infected with different pathogens, restricting its yield. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. sesami is the most destructive disease of sesame worldwide, causing economic losses. This work aimed to develop new high-yielding strains, resistant and/or tolerant to Fusarium. Two cycles of pedigree selection were achieved under infection of Fusarium oxysporu ...

Abstract:
... An experiment was conducted to evaluate the response of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) to vermicompost and nitrogen (N) fertilizer rates. Four rates of vermicompost and four rates of N were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The results showed that the interaction effects of nitrogen fertilizer and vermicompost rates significantly influenced black cumin growth ...

Abstract:
... Ovule initiation is a key step that strongly influences ovule number and seed yield. Notably, mutants with enhanced brassinosteroid (BR) and cytokinin (CK) signaling produce more ovules and have a higher seed number per silique (SNS) than wild‐type plants. Here, we crossed BR‐ and CK‐related mutants to test whether these phytohormones function together in ovule initiation. We determined that simul ...
