saffron flower (crocus sativus) is one of the most precious spices in the world. in this respect, thesaffron style samples were gathered from the farms of torbat-heidariyeh located in south khorasanprovince during one year and their preparation was performed based on the common manufacturingstandards. then, in order to considering the international and national standards for saffron and spicese...

A self-perpetuating change in the conformation of the translation termination factor Sup35p is the basis for the prion [PSI+], a protein-based genetic element of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In a process closely allied to in vivo conversion, the purified soluble, prion-determining region of Sup35p (NM) converts to amyloid fibers by means of nucleated conformational conversion. First, oligomeric sp...

In spite of the surgical approaches utilized to prevent reinnervation from the sciatic proximal stump, some reinnervation of the distal leg muscles occurs, resulting in minimal or substantial recovery of muscle mass and function. These reinnervation events are recognizable at the light microscopy level by size and morphology of the reinnervated myofibers and by the recovery of the fascicle musc...

Lack of chickpea cultivars tolerant to extreme freezing is a limiting factor for autumn planting of this crop in cold areas. In this study, 58 Kabuli-type chickpea genotypes and a control (an international sensitive genotype) were planted in pots and first exposed to -10°C and then to -15°C after being acclimated in natural conditions. No destructive effect of -10°C was observed in plants. So, ...

The main aim of this study was to investigate whether enzyme levels of the malate-aspartate and alpha-glycerophosphate shuttles and of cytochrome b5 reductase in human skeletal muscle are affected by strength training. Muscle biopsy samples from the deltoid muscle of the nondominant arm in untrained (n = 12) and strength-trained (n = 12) subjects were compared. The strength-trained muscles were...

in order to evaluate the effect of foliar application of salicylic acid on the qualitative characters of strawberry fruit, a factorial experiment (treatment+ the time of harvesting) based on completely randomized design with 3 replications was conducted in a greenhouse and the laboratories of department of horticultural science of university college of agriculture and natural resources, univers...

generally, fruit trees should produce sufficient yield annually through their economic life. fruit trees usually produce flowers over their ability of productivity. if all of the flowers are converted to fruit, the tree will be weak and poor smaller fruit will be produced and it may cause alternate bearing. thus some flowers must be removed by hand, mechanically or chemically. in this study, th...
