The research is based on the unique collections of tropical and subtropical plants MBG. Phytosanitary monitoring was carried out in laboratory «Tropical Subtropical plants»: Orangery, glass greenhouse Korean greenhouse. As a result phytosanitary complex MBG, next pests were identified: Trialeyrodes vaporariorum Westw.; Pseudococcus affinis Mask.; Diaspis boisduvalii Sign.; Tetranychus urticae L...

The primary root of Arabidopsis has a simple cellular organisation. The fixed radial cell pattern results from stereotypical cell divisions that occur in the meristem. Here we describe the characterisation of schizoriza (scz), a mutant with defective radial patterning. In scz mutants, the subepidermal layer (ground tissue) develops root hairs. Root hairs normally only form on epidermal cells of...

Introduction: Reverse osmosis (RO) is best known for its use in desalination (removing the salt from seawater to get fresh water), but since the early 1970s it has also been used to purify fresh water for medical, industrial, and domestic applications. The aim of this research was the performance study of reverse osmosis plants for water desalination in Bandar-Lengeh, Iran. Materials and Meth...

Many factors drive the organization of communities including environmental factors, dispersal abilities, and competition. In particular, ant communities have high levels of interspecific competition and dominance that may affect community assembly processes. We used a combination of surveys and nest supplementation experiments to examine effects of a dominant ground-nesting ant (Pheidole synant...

having special ecological condition, kish island has a restricted range of native species of ornamental plants. expansion of urban green space in this island is great of importance due to its outstanding touristy position in the south of iran. the purpose of this study was to investigate the growth and development of groundcover plants planted in four different regions of kish island and to rec...

The effects of soil water deficit and interspecific plant interaction were studied on the dry matter (DM ) yield of white clover and ryegrass and on the morphogenesis of white clover. Plants were grown either: (1) individually (no interaction); or in a mixture of equal plant numbers with either (2) just shoot interaction, or (3) both shoot+root interaction. Plants were subjected to soil water d...
