The objective of this research was to investigate the effect storage conditions different onion set sizes on plant growth, yield and quality bulb crop. Treatments comprised two cultivars (Kamlin Saggai), (refrigeration at 2-4 ○c room temperature around 32○c) three (large-bulb diameter 2.2-2.7 cm, medium 1.6-2.1cm small 1-1.5 cm). Experimental design split-split plot with replications. Cultivars...

shallot (allium altissimum regel.) is a medicinal, industrial and perennial plant that has underground tubers. it is one of the most important allium species in iran, which normally grows in semi-cold to very cold highlands. because of being a wild plant, shallot is encounter with water deficit during its growth season. therefore evaluation of water requirement of shallot is important. in order...

In the main olfactory bulb, stimuli are coded within the spatio-temporal pattern of mitral cells' activity. Granule cells are interneurons that shape the mitral cells' activity, and are continuously generated in the adult main olfactory bulb. However, the role of granule cell renewal remains elusive. We show here that an associative olfactory discrimination task reduces the survival of newborn ...

Temperature and relative humidity have opposing effects on evaporative water loss, the likely mediator of the temperature-dependence of nephrolithiasis. However, prior studies considered only dry-bulb temperatures when estimating the temperature-dependence of nephrolithiasis. We used distributed lag non-linear models and repeated 10-fold cross-validation to determine the daily temperature metri...

Background & Aims of the Study: Nowadays, heat stress is one of the most harmful physical agents in workplaces. According to the consequences of heat stress and have no information about it in Qom dry cleaner units, Iran, this study have been designed to evaluate the heat stress among workers of dry cleaner units in Qom province of Iran, in Jul-Aug 2011. Materials & Metho...

to determine the threshold of photoperiodism and culmulative thermal time related to bulbing and growth analysis of safid behbehan, ghermez iranshahr and primavera onion cultivars an experiment was conducted at behbahan agricultural research station for a year (2006-2007) based on a randomized complete block design of four replications. seeds were sown in nursery in late october and seedlings t...

background: pastry occupation is one of occupations to exposure with heat and significant number of workers works at it. this study is aimed to heat stress and heat strain score index assessment in the pastry workers of isfahan.   methods: this cross sectional and descriptive study was conducted on 360 pastry workers between 10 and 14 hours in the summer of 2012. wbgt index was used for determi...

ABSTRACT Micronutrients structurally constitute several enzymes and act as a cofactor of essential proteins to maintain cell function, thereby contributing crop growth yield. The objective this study was evaluate the leaf content, growth, accumulation micronutrients, classification yield onion function fertilization with boron, cooper zinc in two years cultivation. experiments were carried out ...
