in order to study the canopy temperature effect on protein and soluble sugar, oil percentage and yield of soybean in different planting dates, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in karaj and moghan areas during 2012-13. the studied treatments were included cultivar (‘williams’ and ‘l17’) and planting date (5th of may, 5th o...

Hulled wheats are neglected crops that have potential in plant breeding programmes of modern durum and common wheat. Among these wheats, three species were widely cultivated in Spain until the mid 20th century: Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum (einkorn), Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum (emmer) and Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta (spelt). One important aspect of wheat grain quality is starch co...

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) poses a severe pollution problem attributed to current and past mining activities. Low pH, high concentrations of sulphates and various heavy metals makes AMD treatment a major concern because of possible deleterious effects of the effluent on the surroundings. Treatment methods to address AMD focus on neutralizing, stabilizing and removing problem pollutants through va...

To improve the deproteinization (DP) efficacy of shrimp shell powders (SSP) for preparing chitin, Serratia marcescens B742 mutants were prepared using 2% diethyl sulfate (DES), UV-irradiation, and/or microwave heating treatments. Both single-stage and multi-stage mutations were investigated for optimizing S. marcescens B742 mutation conditions. Under the optimized mutation conditions (2% DES tr...

Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is the causative agent of Johne's disease (JD), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease of cattle characterized by intermittent to chronic diarrhea. In addition, MAP has been isolated from Crohn's disease (CD) patients. The impact of MAP on severity of clinical symptoms in JD as well as its role in CD are yet unknown. We have previously shown that MA...

Study area was selected from Talou farm to Chahjam Kavir in Damghan. Several plant types were distinguished in mentioned site. The types were Artemisia herba alba-Pteropyrum olivieri, Anabasis aphyllaLycium depressum, Tamarix. spp.-Halocnemum strobilaceum, Ha. strobilaceum Halostachys bellangeriana, Ha. strobilaceum-Limonium iranicum. In each plant type, three dominant plant species were select...

The genus Montenegrina is revised on the basis of material available at the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest), Naturhistorisches Museum Wien (Vienna), and the Naturmuseum Senckenberg (Frankfurt am Main), as well as newly discovered populations. The following new taxa are described: Montenegrina haringae sp. n., Montenegrina lillae sp. n., Montenegrina prokletiana sp. n., Montenegrina ...

Apple farming cultivation is expanding in Balochistan. But there is no scientific study present on this subject which apple genus is beneficial according to nutritional point of view. This is the main object of this study to evaluate the nutritive composition of different Genus of apples. Keeping this objective in mind two different genus of apples were selected i.e. Malus Sylvestris and Malusd...
