the aim of this study was to evaluate germination of different sesame genotypes on response to temperature. heat and cold tolerance indexes were determined using cardinal temperatures and evaluations of genotypes were conducted to tolerate high or low temperatures using determined indexes. in order to, germination tests were conducted in fixed temperatures incubators with 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35...

the present experiment was conducted to determine nutritional values of wild pistachio trees (p. khinjuk) leaves it's use it in the diet of sheep. initially chemical composition of p. khinjuk leaf was determined. the diets containing 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% of p. khinjuk leaf were prepared and used for sheep to determine the best replacement level of it with corn silage. fermentation ...

seed rot caused by pythium ultimum is an important disease of safflower in iran and other countries. therefore, finding the genetic sources of resistance and releasing of resistant cultivar is considered as important objective by safflower breeders. this disease will spread when air humidity and the moisture in the soil are sufficiently prepared and this situation occurs exactly in the time of ...

background and objectives: evaluation of the grain yield and yield components and also morphological traits can help to identify strategies for selection of resistant cultivars and increased crop yield production under heat stress condition. to this end, in experiment to evaluate of grain yield and yield components on 42 rice lines tolerant to heat stress from international rice research instit...

background: application of different sources of fatty acids and their effect on ovarian performance is a current issue in animal science and research centers. objectives: the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different fatty acids in close-up period on population and size of follicles and measuring blood parameters related to the energy state of the body after calving of lact...

activities of thirty bacterial strains obtained from plants rhizosphere in different areas against phytophthora drechsleri were assessed through in vitro and greenhouse experiments. dual culture and extracellular metabolites tests were used in in vitro assays. the bacterial strains inhibited growth of p. drechsleri, the highest inhibition zones was belonged to t17-4 strain with 61.904% in dual ...

bitter asafetida (ferula asa-fetidae l.) is a wild plant of the family umbelliferae. the present study was carried out to determine the type of dormancy of the plant’s seed, and find out the most suitable treatment needed for quick germination of seeds. twelve treatments including ga3 (500, 1000, 1500 ppm), kno3 (0.1, 0.2 0.3 molar), rinsing (24, 48, 72 hour),elimination of seed coat (one year-...

this research was conducted to study the effects of styrene and methyl methacrylate cell lumen monomers on the mechanical properties and decay resistance of beech wood. mechanical and decay resistance test samples were prepared according to astm d143-94 and din en113 standards and impregnated with five concentration monomer solution 0, 40, 60, 80 and 100 percent using bethell method. treated sa...

the aim followed in this study was to compare the performance of multiple regression vs neural network models to predict the activity of antioxidant enzymes super oxide dismutase (sod), cat alase (cat), ascorbate pero xidase (apx) and peroxidase (pox) in the shoots of wheat (triticum aestivum), alvand cultivar in a soil polluted with cadmium. the treatments consisted of four levels of cadmium (...
