identification of quantitative trait loci is one of the important issues in breeding program especially under stress condition. plant material in the present study was a natural population including 72 tobacco genotypes. in order to apply osmotic stress, mannitol with 0.33 molar concentrations was used. the genotyping of individual were performed using 21 out of 35 primer combinations of aflp m...

objective: in order to study the effect of different concentrations of iba hormone on rooting of olive cuttings in spring and winter of 2012-2013 in a greenhouse in jiroft, iran. methods: a split-plot experiment was conducted on the basis of a randomized complete block design in which hardwood cuttings of one-year-old olive plants cv. manzanilla with the diameter of 0.7-1 cm were used. the main...

Four breed types with 12 cows/breed-type (Hereford x Angus, AHx; Charolais and Angus and Charolais x Hereford, Cx; Jersey x Angus, Jersey x Hereford, Jx and Simmental x Angus, Simmental x Hereford, Sx) were used to estimate nutrient requirements for zero daily weight change. Four nonpregnant, nonlactating cows of each breed type were assigned to one of three feeding levels [90 kcal metabolizabl...

According to the importance and diversity of Chenopodium album, Cynodon dactylon and Amaranthus retroflexus in safflower fields and significant role of safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) as an oil seed, an experiment was conducted using CRD based factorial design with three replications to study the allelopathic effects of root and shoot extracts of these weeds on germination and early growth ...

The present study shows that feces samples of 14 human volunteers and isolated gut segments of mice (small intestine, cecum, and large intestine) are able to transform metals and metalloids into volatile derivatives ex situ during anaerobic incubation at 37 degrees C and neutral pH. Human feces and the gut of mice exhibit highly productive mechanisms for the formation of the toxic volatile deri...

abstract salinity is one of the major abiotic challenges influencing plant productivity worldwide. to examine the response of two alfalfa cultivars (bami and hamedani) to six levels of water salinity (0, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125 mm l-1 nacl), a glasshouse experiment was conducted at the college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran in 2008. the results showed that in bami (which appeared...

A field experiment was conducted during two successive seasons 2010 and 2011 to determine the influence of rabbit manure rats( 5,10 and 15 m / fed.) and bio-fertilizers. The biofertilizer used was Bacillus sirculans (B.S) (used as seedlings inoculants) and vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (VAM) (used as soil inoculants) and their interactions on periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus , L. G. Don...

To study drought stress effects on bound water, adsorption isotherms and pressure-volume curves were constructed for two durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) cultivars: Capeiti 8 (drought tolerant) and Creso (drought sensitive). Plants were grown under well-watered and water-stressed conditions in a controlled environment. Differential enthalpy (DeltaH) was calculated through van't Hoff analysis ...
