this research evaluated the effects of gibberellin (ga3) and abscisic acid (aba) on emergence capability, rate of emergence, vigor index and some physiological characters of chickpea seedling (cicer arietinum l.) in a field experiment (as split) under dry and irrigated conditions. seeds were primed with 0, 50, 100 and 150 ppm of each phytohormones. examined chickpea cultivar was azad. the resul...

Twenty wether lambs were individually fed for 84 days to study the effect of dietary lead on performance and mineral composit ion of selected tissues. The treatments included O, 10, 100, 500 and 1,000 ppm supplemental lead as lead acetate added to a practical diet. Increased dietary lead did not affect feed consumption, weight gain or feed conversion ratio. Hemoglobin, hematocri t and blood lea...

The experiment laid out in randomized block design with nine treatments and three replications, different concentrations modes application (PGRs). PGRs were applied as foll...

Plants of Juniperus communis L. var. communis, J. c. var. depressa Pursh, J. c. var. jackii Rehdr, J. c. var. saxatilis Pall. were sampled and SNPs from nrDNA were examined. Based on these data and previous data, a new variety of J. communis is recognized: Juniperus communis var. charlottensis R. P. Adams, var. nov. It occurs in muskeg bogs on Queen Charlotte Island, British Columbia and in the...

Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the responses to carbadox and Cu additions in the postweaning diet of swine. The first trial contained 470 pigs in five replicates in a 2 x 5 factorial arrangement in a randomized complete block design. Weanling pigs 4-wk of age were fed diets containing 0 or 55 ppm carbadox and 0, 125, 250, 375 or 500 ppm Cu for a 5-wk period. Copper levels of 125 and...

The accumulation of a considerable quantity of gibberellin fermentation residue (GFR) during gibberellic acid A3 (GA3) production not only results in the waste of many resources, but also poses a potential hazard to the environment, indicating that the safe treatment of GFR has become an urgent issue for GA3 industry. The key to recycle GFR is converting it into an available resource and removi...

Two species of rumen fungi, Piromyces (Piromonas) communis FL and Caecomyces (Sphaeromonas) communis FG10, were cultured alone or in association with the cellulolytic bacteria Ruminococcus flavefaciens or Fibrobacter succinogenes on maize stem. A kinetic study of the degradation of the substrate was then made. After 48 h of culture, all non-lignified tissues observed by scanning electron micros...

Objective: Oxidation of oils has an important effect on nutritional and organoleptic properties of foodstuffs. Nowadays, new tendency has created a necessity to use natural compounds such as essential oils for producing functional foods. In this study, antioxidant, antifungal, and organoleptic properties of Zataria multiflora Boiss.(ZMEO) and Cinnamon zeylanicum essential oils (CZEO) have been ...
