in order to evaluate the effects of different levels of water and plant density on yield, yield components, morphological and physiological characteristics of a new corn hybrid (ksc 500), an experiment was carried out in 2006 in karaj area. the experimental design was split plot based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. main plots were three irrigation levels: 75%, 100...

in order to evaluate the relationship between morphological characters in rice lines two populations at f3 generation were grown in research field of agricultural sciences and natural resource university, sari, iran, during 2012. statistical analysis on important agronomic traits showed that maximum standard deviation belonged to total grain number followed by filled grains per panicle and grai...

the application of organic sorbents for removing heavy metal from water, replacing expensive sorbents, is particularly appropriate for developing countries. to investigate the efficiency of some organic sorbents in removing of cd2+ from aqueous solution, an experiment was conducted with three organic sorbents (sunflower stalks, apple and grapevine pruning residues) and 11 initial concentration ...

seven rice varieties (hassani, deilmani, sepidrod, shahpasand, saleh, neda, and irfaon215) along with their complete diallel progenies were grown in a randomized complete block design of three replications in the growing seasons of 2006 and 2007 and were evaluated for the quantitative traits of: number of days to flowering, flag leaf length, width and area, plant height, panicle length, extrusi...

Surfaces of carbon steel (CS) exposed to mixed cultures of iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) and dissimilatory iron-reducing bacteria (FeRB) in seawater media under aerobic conditions were rougher than surfaces of CS exposed to pure cultures of either type of microorganism. The roughened surface, demonstrated by profilometry, is an indication of loss of metal from the surface. In the presence of C...

There currently are no data on using reduced tillage for flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) production when double-cropped after cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in the southeastern USA. This study evaluated how tillage and subsoiling influenced double-cropped flax and cotton productivity and quality under conditions in the southeastern USA. An irrigated study on a loamy sand soil (Eunola loamy sand) ...

this study was carried out to investigate flower yield and yield components in iranian rosa damascena using 20 genotypes, collected from different regions of iran and grown in drylands and deserts research station of kashan, iran, using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2007-2008. flower yield per plant, number of flowers per plant, plant height, leaf length, width, ...

We propose that the first stage of membrane fusion need not be the formation of a single stalk. Instead, we consider a scenario for defect-induced membrane fusion that proceeds cooperatively via multiple stalk formation. The defects (stalks or pores) attract each other via membrane-mediated capillary interactions that result in a condensation transition of the defects. The resulting dense phase...

Scanning electron microscopy was used to follow fruiting body formation by pure cultures of Chondromyces crocatus M38 and Stigmatella aurantica. Vegetative cells were grown on SP agar and then transferred to Bonner salts agar for fructification. Fruiting in both species commences with the formation of aggregation centers which resemble a fried egg in appearance. In Chondromyces the elevated cen...

The main goal of this study was to screen different lignocellulosic materials for their ability support the cell growth yeast Komagataella pastoris and production xylitol. Several materials, namely banana peels, brewer’s spent grains (BSGs), corncobs, grape pomace, stalks, sawdust, were subjected dilute acid hydrolysis obtain sugar rich solutions that tested as feedstocks cultivation K. pastori...
