seed rot caused by pythium ultimum is an important disease of safflower in iran and other countries. therefore, finding the genetic sources of resistance and releasing of resistant cultivar is considered as important objective by safflower breeders. this disease will spread when air humidity and the moisture in the soil are sufficiently prepared and this situation occurs exactly in the time of ...

introduction precipitation is one of the most important meteorological variables in comparison with other climatic parameters. it varies extremely over time and space. the occurrence of this climate phenomenon requires specific circumstances in environment. its accurate measurement is important to a wide range of decision makers including hydrologists, agriculturalists, industrialists and etc. ...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of five dosage of vitamin c (0, 50, 250, 750 and 1500 mg vitamin c per kg diet) on fatty acid composition of caspian brown trout fry (salmo trutta caspius). fish (initial average body weight of 0.1 ± 0.02 g) were fed by formulated diets for 6 weeks in triplicate. the findings of growth parameters and survival showed significant difference a...

small precipitation with temporal and spatial variation of rainfall is the main responsible factors on flood occurrence in arid and semi arid regions. floods in their regions usually contain high concentration of sediments which when they are deposited on the surface of lands, they change the properties of soils of the area. in this research, the effect of floodwater spreading on physic-chemica...

to study the effects of different levels of water stress and nitrogen fertilizer on seed yield and yield components of two common bean genotypes (phaseolus vulgaris), an experiment in a split plot factorial based on crbd with four replications was conducted at the research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2010. water stress treatments as the main factor included normal irrigation (6...

artemisia annua is a medicinal annual herb that widely distributed in asia, europ, north america, and also is grown in north reagions of iran. in this study, variation in the quantity and quality of the essential oil of a.annua apical shoots at different developmental stages including vegetative, early flower opening and full flowering stages is reported. the obtained oils by hydrodistilation o...

introduction climate change happens due to abnormal changes of climate within the earth’s atmosphere and their consequences. one of the most significant effects of climate change is the irreversible damage to some floral species and forest ecosystems. tree species reflect the impact of climate changes on their ring width. generally, tree rings vary in size each year depending upon the environme...

anise hyssop is a prennial herb belonging to the lamiaceae family. essential oil of this plant is used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics industries as well as flavoring liqueurs. since water stress affects the growth, productivity, as well influences the active principles governing medicinal plants, in this research the effect of different water deficit stresses on such morphological traits a...

the aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of one session of exhaustive exercise with low intensity (55-65% vo2max), moderate intensity (65-75% vo2max) and high intensity (75-85% vo2max) on adiponectin in active women. for this purpose, 30 healthy women (mean age 21.6 years, weigh 59.7+3.35 kg, vo2max 39.1+0.58 ml/kg/min, no history of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes) were selecte...

shortage of irrigation water, being a crucial problem in arid and semiarid regions, makes it necessary to use treated wastewater in agriculture. a field experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of treated municipal wastewater (tmw) on the yield and fiber quality of cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.) (mehr variety). treated municipal wastewater was supplied from shahrake ghods sewage treat...
