Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures ...

Sediment accretion (burial) and nutrient enrichment occur concurrently in lacustrine wetlands, but the role of these two aspects of sedimentation on macrophyte performance has rarely been examined. Here, we investigated the concurrent effects of sediment accretion and nutrient enrichment on the growth and propagation of Phalaris arundinacea L. using a factorial sediment burial by nutrient addit...

Littleseed canarygrass (Phalaris minor Retz.) is one of the most common and troublesome weeds infesting wheat crop in India. Repeated use during the last two decades of the ACCase-inhibiting herbicide (clodinafop) to control this weed has resulted in the occurrence of resistance. Fifty-three P. minor populations were collected from wheat fields in Haryana and Punjab states of India. The dose-re...

The Phalaris genus includes annual weed species such as short-spiked canarygrass (Phalaris brachystachys Link.), little-seed minor Retz.) and hood paradoxa L.), which are especially problematic in Spain; such, there is a need to develop models predict the timing of their emergence. Field experiments were conducted at two different locations during (2006/07 2007/08) three (from 2005/06 growing s...

سابقه و هدف: در سال­ های اخیر روند رو به افزایش تخریب منابع آب، خاک محیط زیست اثر کاربرد بی رویه مواد شیمیایی موجب ترغیب پژوهشگران کشاورزی ارگانیک سال ­های شده است. با وجود همه اثرات مثبتی که ارتباط مصرف آلی بر روی ویژگی­ فیزیکی مطرح است، هنوز این رابطه نگرانی­ زیادی از نظر مسائل زیست­ محیطی، سلامت دارد. بسته منبع، اغلب دارای مقادیر نسبتا عناصر سنگین می باشند؛ بنابراین اندازه گیری دقیق میزان فل...
