in order to investigate the effect of different levels of cycosel and naphthalene acetic acid on some vegetative traits and on essential oil yield from rose-scented geranium (pelargonium graveolens heritier), an experiment was conducted in 2008 in the research greenhouse of horticulture department of zanjan university. the study was arranged as a factorial experiment, based upon a randomized co...

in order to evaluate the effect of different mechanical treatments (application of sulphuric acid, boiling water and flooding) on seed dormancy breaking of licorice, an experiment was carried out in randomized complete block design in 2012. moreover, a factorial scheme in rcbd was performed to assess the application of giberalic acid and potassium nitrate treatment as well as stratification and...

background and objectives: soybean (glycine max l.) is the most important oil crop having the largest area under cultivation in the world. every year, water stress causes great damages on crops in the world, particularly in iran with arid and semi-arid climate so application of materials such as zeolite in soil can reduce the adverse effects of water stress. however, the effect of zeolite in in...

some specific and non-specific immune variables of rainbow trout were assessed following vaccination of fish with formalin killed cells (fkc) and fkc containing extra cellular products (ecp) of s. iniae. rainbow trout weighing 80-100 g were vaccinated by intraperitoneal (i.p), dip and oral routes using fkc and fkc plus ecp with or without fround adjuvant (fa) at 16-17°c.antibody titration, lyso...

introduction: natural biomaterials and growth factors are key factors in tissue engineering. the objective of the present study was to evaluate transforming growth factor beta 1 (tgf-β1) and curcumin on proliferation and differentiation of nasal-derived chondrocyte seeded on the fibrin glue scaffold. methods: chondrocytes were isolated from nasal samples. nasal-derived chondrocytes were seeded ...

background and objectivesintercropping or simultaneous growing of two or more crops on the same piece of land has the potential of enhanced ecosystem productivity. in a cereal-legume intercropping system, an increase in cereal and a decrease in legume intercrop yield is reported. several indices such as land equivalent ratio (ler), relative crowding coefficient (k), competitive ratio (cr), aggr...

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 (...
