An experiment was conducted using a [6, 6-H]glucose isotope dilution method to determine the effects of plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) on plasma glucose metabolism in sheep taken from a thermoneutral environment and exposed to a hot environment. The sheep were fed either mixed hay (MH) of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) at a 60:40 ratio or ...

An isotope dilution method using [1-(13)C]sodium (Na) acetate was conducted to determine the effect of feeding hop (Humulus lupulus L.) residues on plasma acetate metabolism in six adult crossbred sheep. The sheep were fed 63 g/kg BW(0.75)/d of either mixed hay (MH-diet) of orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) and reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea L.) at a 60:40 ratio or MH-diet and hop-re...

The study of genetic variation and phylogenetic relationships is essential for the efficient selection of superior plant material and conducting introgression breeding programs. In Iran, despite the wide geographical distribution of grasses no report is available on the genetic diversity and relationships of cool season grass populations. In this study amplified fragment length polymorphism (AF...

In order to investigate the genetic variation in tissue culture response and to ®nd the cultivars with high regeneration ability for genetic transformation, twenty®ve turf-type tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) cultivars, including many elite ones released recently, were evaluated for their callus induction and plant regeneration responses. Callus induction was initiated from mature see...

the aim of this study was to investigate the allelopathic effects of eucalyptus camaldulensis on germination and early seedling growth of festuca arundinacea under laboratory condition in order to determine the effect of pretreatments on decreasing the destructive effects of allelopathic compounds. the chemical stimulators used in this study included 3 levels of gibberellic acid, 3 levels of sa...
