In light of work by Donna Haraway, Jacques Derrida and Hélène Cixous, this paper weaves a poetic response to the Western ethnocentric mode thought as that which cuts once forever line dividing nature from culture. That elevates Man over all other creatures, indeed living things, does so means phallic imaginary deeply tied Judaeo-Christian ontotheology – shame, nudity original sin. Through figur...

The effect of fig freezing in sugar solution on fig’s quality and sensory traits as well phenolic content during storage was examined. Fresh figs were frozen without any treatment (control - CON), sucrose (30%) (SUC) with ascorbic acid (2%) (SUCAA), stored at -18 ⁰C for 210 days. Samples analyzed every seventy days pH, total soluble solids (TSS), sugars phenolics composition, skin pulp color, t...

During 2003-04 major mushroom production units of Tehran province were sampled and 103 fungicolous isolates were obtained (Table 1). Verticillium fungicola (with 50 isolates), Trichoderma harzianum (with 24 isolates), Cladobotryum dendroides (with 16 isolates) and Acremonium crotocinigenum (with 11 isolates) were the most frequent fungi associated with the cultivated mushroom, Agaricus bisporus...

Some 350 Trichoderma isolates were obtained from soil samples collected from different parts of Iran. Cultures were purified on 2% water agar by hyphal tip method prior to identification. Obtained isolates were identified using morphological features including colony characters (pigmentation and growth rate on PDA) and microscopic characters such as shape of conidiophores, shape and size of con...

The Fig (Ficus carica.L) is a woody perennial crop, cultivated worldwide in subtropical regions. Since, salinity is the main concern of fig industry, therefore, studying the pattern of ion absorption and accumulation contribute during the stress in different plant organs can lead understanding the mechanism of tolerance/sensitivity. So, during 2016-2017, seven fig cultivars (‘Sabzʼ, ‘Siyahʼ, ‘S...
