One hundred lentil genotypes accessions of Mashhad Lentil Collection (MLC) were evaluated at Chenaran, Iran with three planting dates [10 Oct., 10 Nov. (fall) and 28 Mar. (spring) during 2008/09 growing seasons]. Evaluation based on winter survival...

Cold season stress is a major factor that limits the success of environmentally sound cultivation of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) in world. In West Asia and North Africa, lentil is winter-sown at elevations below about 850 meters and is usually...

Response of Ientil (Lens culinaris Medik.) to drought stress during germination stage induced by polyethylen glaycol 6000

Establishment of an efficient and reproducible regeneration protocol is one of the basic prerequisites for

genetic transformation of any crop plant. In vitro culture of lentil has proven to be difficult. In spite of a

number of reports...

The aim of the study was to determine effect of autumn and spring sowing on yield and plant traits of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) genotypes under Iran conditions.



Material and Methods:

For this purpose Twenty-four lentil...

(Gachsaran and Flip. 92-12 L) were used. The results showed that modified MS is a suitable medium for in vitro shoot regeneration of lentil. High levels of BAP caused increasing of shoot regeneration in lentil genotypes. Three milligram per liter of BAP...

The effects of seed size on seed germination, and seedling survival of twenty- four Lentil genotypes were studied in this study. Lentils are classified into two groups by seed size. The large seeded Chilean type (Macro) has a seed size that averages...

The aim of this study was to seek optimum seed germination temperature of Lentil seeds. Germination tests were conducted for twenty-four genotypes with 3 replicates in a completely randomized design, were conducted to investigate germination...

ABSTRACT: Lentil (Lens culinarisMedik.) is an important grain Lentil is known to fix atmospheric nitrogen

in the soillegume crop in the world. Nitrogen fixing capability of lentil can be enhanced by the supply of

adequate amounts...

Energy analysis of agroecosystems seems to be a promising approach to assess

environmental problems and their relations to sustainability. The aim of the present study was to

compare bean, lentil, irrigated and dryland chickpea farms...
