Characterısatıon of volatıle compounds by spme and gc-fıd/ms of capers (Capparis spinosa L.)
Capparis spinosa L. has highly biologically active natural substances. C. spinosa L. is rich in volatile components, and is becoming increasingly popular because of its components’ potential role in contributing to human health. In this study, solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used to analyze the volatile compounds identified in C. spinosa L. Seventeen compounds, constituting 93.5% of the oil composition of...

Yield responses of grain amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus L.) varieties to varying planting density and soil amendment
Field experiments were conducted at the Experimental Farm of the National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT), Ibadan, Nigeria (7° 30' N, 3° 50' E), at altitude 168 m above the sea level, during the 2010 and 2011 cropping seasons, to assess the yield responses of two grain amaranth varieties (TE81/28 and CEN 18/97) to planting densities (100,000, 60,000 and 40,000 plants ha-1) and soil amendments...

Genotype x environment interaction on sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) seed yield
Sesame is an oilseed crop grown for its seed and oil for local and export markets and is a great source of income for farmers, traders, processers and the national economy of Ethiopia. However, its productivity and production are influenced by environmental factors. This experiment was, therefore, carried out to estimate the nature and magnitude of interaction of genotypes with the environment and to identify stable...

Correlation of the least limiting water range with soil physical attributes, nutrient levels and soybean yield
In soils that are compacted or undergoing compaction, the interval of water available to the plants can decline to zero, which according to the least limiting water range (LLWR) method is called the critical soil bulk density (Bdcritical), when LLWR = 0. The aim of this study was to determine the LLWR of a highly clayey typic dystrophic Red Latosol (Oxisol) and to correlate it with the soil physical attributes, nutrient...

Physiological quality and genetic parameters of maize landraces seeds in southwestern Bahia
The environmental adaptation of maize germpasm is mainly controlled by certain genes, such as ZmCCT. This factor is influenced by both the genotype and the environment itself, being the gene able to express itself in the germination and seedling vigor under the conditions that is offered. The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for traits related to physiological quality in maize landraces seeds....
