One of the fundamental difficulties in Iranian rangelands is the existence of wide area of poor condition rangelands that their grazing capability is low due to continuous livestock grazing pressure. Astragalus flexilipes is one of the palatable plant species of rangelands in Iran, while its distribution is being decreased due to improper grazing. The aim of this study was to ...

In sediments, methane-oxidizing bacteria live in opposing gradients of methane and oxygen. In such a gradient system, the fluxes of methane and oxygen are controlled by diffusion and consumption rates, and the rate-limiting substrate is maintained at a minimum concentration at the layer of consumption. Opposing gradients of methane and oxygen were mimicked in a specific cultivation set-up in wh...

Herbicide-resistant zoysiagrass (Zoysia japonica Steud.) has been developed by Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. A callus-type transformation system was established by optimizing several factors that affect the rate of transformation, including co-cultivation period and concentrations of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), CaCl2 and acetosyringone. Maximal GUS expression was observed w...
