the history of five thousand years of human civilization (with only 292 years with no war) and the experiencesof the past two decades of our country shows that the enemies’ approach is based on strong air attack just inthe first month, and civilians bombarding begins if the spirit of national defense continues after two weeks.so the buildings in the cities are damaged in different ways by the a...

Protein extracted from boll weevil larvae causes abscission of cotton flower buds and debladed petioles. Abscission of buds is preceded by a rapid and persistent flaring of bracts; cell proliferation is induced in the abscission zone of debladed petioles. A possible mode of transmission of the agent from larva to bud tissue is discussed.

In this paper we give examples which show that the convolution theorem (Boll, [1], Hajek, [2]) cannot be extended to infinite-dimensional shift experiments. This answers a question posed by van der Vaart, [9], and which has been considered also by LeCam, [5].

in order to study of combining ability and heterosis in cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.), six hopeful genotypes were crossed in a half-diallel scheme at gonbad research station. fifteen f1 hybrids along with six parents were grown in randomized complete block design with 3 replications, in 2004. combining ability estimates were calculated according to method 2, model 1 of griffing (1956a,b). rela...

Pantoea ananatis is a bacterium with versatile niches that vary from pathogenic to beneficial. We present the genome of strain CFH 7-1, which was recovered from a diseased greenhouse cotton boll previously caged with a field-collected cotton fleahopper (Pseudatomoscelis seriatus). These data will assist in deciphering the infection process.

Peak bloom is one of the most recognizable periods in cotton development Fields may become blanketed with white blooms as boll loading accelerates to a maximum. This landmark developmental stage signals that a shift is occurring in the crop's biology and your management priorities. This newsletter will profile the crop at peak bloom and outline some management considerations that can affect per...

The components of lint yield in cotton are the number of plants per acre, the number of bolls per plant, the number of seeds per boll, and the number of fibers per seed. This list may be reduced to the two essential components, i.e., the number of seeds per acre and the weight of fiber per seed. A great deal of attention has been paid to the first factor but the weight of fiber per seed has bee...

To study the impact of iron nanoparticles foliar application on mitigating the effects of drought stress on yield, yield components and  oil percentage of Goldasht spring safflower cultivar, an experiment was carried out in 2012 in the Agricultural Research Farm Station of Islamic Azad University, Roudehen branch as split plot in a completely randomized blocks design with three replications. In...
