background : 5-fluorouracil could lead to a decline in fertility in caenorhabditis elegans. the aim of this study was to describe the mechanisms underlying such an altered fertility phenotype and to illustrate the specific genes and path-ways that are involved in the related phenotypic changes in c. elegans. methods : we isolated total rna from the samples and used a new method called digital g...

this study was conducted to study of morpho-physiological responses of robinia pseudoacacia l. seedlings under drought stress by irrigation period at 4 levels (intervals of 4, 8, 12 and 16 days). the experiment was performed as completely randomized design in a greenhouse environment. results indicated that all studied traits were affected by water stress, except water use efficiency (wue). the...

hybrid rice varieties are potentially higher yielding than the best inbred varieties and perform better under adverse conditions of drought and salinity. one of the major impediments for seed production of hybrid rice is incomplete panicle exsertion in the cytoplasmic male sterile lines. the unexserted spikelets which are left inside the flag leaf sheath remain unfertile. this research was focu...

in order to possibility of improving physiological traits, yield and yield components of safflower (carthamus tinctorius cv. sina) by anti-transpiration application in rainfed condition, a research was carried out in factorial based on randomized complete block design (rcdb) with three replications in miyaneh region (east azarbaijan province - iran) in 2011. the treatments antitranspirant rate ...

extended abstract   introduction the most important indicator of climate in a region is vegetation community. climate can be different over large areas, because of changes in vegetation community. vegetation influences weather and climate in its surrounding areas mostly by way of evapotranspiration and albedo so they play a role in the earth’s energy balance. these effects on the earth’s energy...

the effect of gibberellic acid (ga3) spraying on some characteristics of cyclamen flowering trend during the second flowering year was investigated. ga3 sprays were applied in concentrations of 0, 20, 30, 40, and 50 mg/l. the trial was carried out as a randomized complete design of three replications. the total flower count, flower count during the flowering peak, days from spraying to flowerin...

in this study the impact of freezing rate and degree of pre-fermentation on sangak frozen dough and its bread was assessed. the pre-fermentation was between zero and 120 min and the corresponding secondly fermentation was between 120 and 0 min, respectively, to obtain total fermentation time of 120 min. the pre-fermentation dough was formed in flat shape and frozen under -20, -25 and -30 °c. it...
