This research was conducted at Izraa research station of The General
Commission for Scientific Agricultural Research during the growing season
2010/2011 to study the performance of six durum wheat varieties at early
growth stage under water defici
t stress. The experiment was designed using
randomized complete block design with three replication. The statistical
analysis results of the experiment clearly showed genetic variations among
cultivars under water stress. Drought stress caused a depression in all studied
traits. Mean yield decreased in average 31.7 %. The number of spiks/ m2 was
the most trait affected by drought stress, It decreased in average 29.1% while
biological yield decreased in average 24.26%. It was observed that the number
of spikes per m2 was the highest in the variety Hourani (191) and the highest
number of grain per spike (34.1) whereas the variety Bohouth7 and the variety
hourani recorded the highest thousand grain weight (40.5 g). The statistical
analysis results showed that the variety Cha5 a achieved the highest grain yield
per m2 (239.4 g), whereas, the variety Bohouth7 recorded the lowest grain yield
per m2 (182.8 g), under water deficit stress conditions.
This research was conducted in Abo Jarash farm (College of Agriculture,
Damascus University) in 2009/2010. Fifteen strains of durum wheat contrived
by ACSAD and ICARDA were studied, the productivity and its main
components were compared with four
certified varieties of durum wheat in
Syria. The experiment was designed in complete randomized block design with
three replicants. The results showed the presence of significant differences
between the strains in most of the studied traits, and the strains derived from
ACSAD were featured in the performance under the experiment condition.
And those strains were characterized by the early heading, and maturity
comparing with the wildly cultivated varieties in Syria and some of them were
super or in grain production as Acsad 1311, Acsad 1327, Acsad 357(3648.36,
2988.75, 2884.80 kg/ha). The results confirmed the importance of the some
components of productivity, weight of thousand grain, number of spikes, And
plant length which were correlated positively with the productivity in unit area.
This research was conducted to determine the most responsive phenological
stage for supplementary irrigation of the durum wheat in a primary stationary
region.
It consisted of six different water treatments in addition to control (non
irrigated)
:
1-From planting to seedling emergence; 2-From planting to tillering; 3-From
planting to booting; 4-From planting to flowering; 5-From planting to the end of
the milk stage; 6–Sowing irrigation and irrigation according to necessity
throughout the milk stage.
The study has been repeated in four blocks for three seasons from 2002 to
2005. The results of the first two seasons showed that the:
The treatment from planting to booting, was canceled because of the rain and
soil dampness during this growth period. A significant increase in production,
water use efficiency, and one 1000 kernel weight, of both 5th and 6th treatments was
noticed in comparison with other treatments and the control. Results of the three
seasons were varied due to the environmental variation in temperature and amount
of rainfall.
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is among the most
economically important crops world-wide and in Syria
as well. It is highly responsive to different tissue culture
techniques.
In vitro culture of potato cv. 'Draga' (mid-early) was
established thro
ugh meristem tip culture.
This experiment was conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture, Damascus
University (2001 – 2002), to assess the effect of radiostimulation of seeds of two
durum wheat varieties (Hourani and Cham 3) on some morphological traits
and yield components,
by using three doses of gamma rays (10, 15, and 20 GY).
The study showed significant differences among radiation doses. The high
doses (15, 20 GY) caused a significant deterioration in growth and development
of plants, as well as yield components of the two varieties.
