tall wheat grass (agropyron elongatum), as many other grasses, benefits from wide genetic bases in iran. estimation of genetic diversity and a selection of suitable genotypes is the initial step for developing adaptable synthetic varieties in many cool season grasses. in order to investigate production, variation and genetic similarity of 25 tall wheat grass genotypes, an experiment was conduct...

orchard grass (dactylis glomerata), a pasture and forage grass, has wide genetic distribution in iran. evolution of germplasm and selection of suitable genotypes is the first step for developing adaptable synthetic varieties. in order to investigate production potential, variation and genetic similarity of iranian orchard grass genotypes, an experiment was conducted using clonally propagated ma...

The matching criteria were gestation (using an ultrasound crown–rump length or biparietal diameter measurement), duration of storage, and centre. Screening performance of the individual markers and combinations of markers together with maternal age was assessed using standard methods. In addition pairs of first and second trimester serum samples from 600 controls were tested to secure a larger ...

this study was conducted with the main purpose of investigating genetic variation among 13 selected sweetcherry (prunus avium cv. siah mashhad) genotypes, i.e., the most important iranian sweet cherry cultivars based on their pomological, morphological, and phonological characteristics. the experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications at khorasan-e-razav...

the effect of different ratio of vermicompost (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 %) in two type of substrate (coco peat and coco peat-perlite (50:50 v:v)) on growth characteristics of gooseberry (physalis peruviana l.) seedling was investigated in research greenhouse of university of tehran, in 2013. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications was carried out. crite...

Can fertilization of sugar maple stands lead to increased diameter growth, better crown conditions, and/or added sugar production? We have wrestled questions like these for over a decade at research sites in northwest Vermont. Recently we have begun to expand our understanding of maple nutrition by examining stands in a wider geographic area. The effectiveness of fertilization depends in large ...
