background: satureja khuzistanica jamzad, with the common persian name “marzeh khuzestani”, is an endemic medicinal plant, distributed in the southwestern areas of iran. salicylic acid (sa) is a signaling molecule and a hormone-like substance that plays an important role in the plant physiological processes. objective: this study was conducted to determine the influence of foliar sa application...

the research was carried out to study the effect of controlled deficit irrigation (cdi) on quality and quantity of sugar beet in bardsir region of kerman and karaj during 2005- 2006. in this experiment, 11 irrigation treatments were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. crop water requirement was calculated in two- day periods. the treatments were implemented in d...

the experiment was aimed at investigating the effects of defoliation (i. e. amanipulation of source size) at different times and with different intensities on yield, grain protein content and remobilization of dry matter from shoot to grain under various levels of soil moisture and nitrogen in winter wheat. two separate field experiments were conducted simultaneously under water stress vs irrig...

carbohydrate flow between vegetative and reproductive parts of trees is one of the determining factors of yield and fruit quality. therefore, it varies during different times of growth season. the aim of this study was to investigate the carbohydrate content variation during growth season between leaf and fruit of nectarine. so, eight nectarine trees cv. red gold selected randomly in the orchar...

in order to assess the performance of two soybean cultivars produced in two regions including karaj and moghan to drought stress at reproductive stages and also the impact of drought stress on yield and its components, oil and protein percent, an experiment was conducted as a split factorial based on complete randomized block design in three replications in agriculture faculty of tarbiat modare...

in order to study water deficit tolerance in thymus daenensis subsp. daenensis ecotypes, seeds of eight ecotypes were collected from different locations. seedling are produced in greenhouse, and then transferred to field as an experiment of split plot design based on rcbd with three replicates. three irrigation treatments (normal irrigation, prevention of irrigation at the start of flowering an...

The rice blast fungus causes significant annual harvest losses. It also serves as a genetically-tractable model to study fungal ingress. Whilst pathogenicity determinants have been unmasked and changes in global gene expression described, we know little about Magnaporthe oryzae cell wall remodelling. Our interests, in wall remodelling genes expressed during infection, vegetative growth and unde...
