the following study was conducted at the research station of horticultural sciences (university of tehran, karaj) to investigate the effect of different irrigation levels and fruit site on the stalk upon the traits of: sink-source relationship, yield, and fruit quality in two iranian melon cultivars. the statistical design was a split split-plot of  three replications. treatments consisted of a...

a study was conducted at the research station of department of horticultural science (tehran university, karaj) to evaluate the effects of water stress on yield, growth and some physiological parameters in iranian melon. the experiment was set out in a split plot design with three replicates. treatments consisted of factorial arrangement of three irrigation levels (starting irrigation at -50, -...

The ease of application and effectiveness of a multimetric benthic index of biotic integrity (B-IBI) was evaluated for use as an ecological integrity monitoring tool in coastal National Parks of Canada. The B-IBI was developed in three phases: 1) analysis of land use impacts to select study watersheds along a gradient of disturbance; 2) collection and identification of benthic macroinvertebrate...

in order to estimate heritability, heterosis, general and specific combining ability and relationships between them in traits of fruit number per plant, days to the first fruit harvest, yield per plant, average fruit weight and rind thickness, seven local populations of iranian melon (‘tashkandi’, ‘khatouni’, ‘garmak’, ‘aran1’, ‘mirpanji’, ‘suski-e-sabz’ and ‘golpaygan’) were crossed using a co...

a set of 18 simple sequence repeat (ssr) primer pairs was employed to assess the genetic diversity in a collection of 52 melon genotypes that consisted of 24 melon accessions representing different horticultural groups of iranian cultivated melons, along with 28 reference accessions from diverse foreign geographical origins. all the studied ssr loci were polymorphic, confirming their potential ...

The emission at -2.8 eV from heavily doped p-GaN, known as the blue luminescence (BL), has been studied by selective excitation using a dye laser tunable between 2.7-3.0 eV. The peak position and intensity of the BL are found to exhibit an unusual dependence on the excitation photon energy. We have explained our results with a shallow-donor and deep-acceptors pair recombination model which incl...

—The goal of the current study was to examine the physiological disturbances in walleyes Sander vitreus that occurred during the different phases of a live-release angling tournament. To achieve this, we took blood and white muscle samples from walleyes during experiments that simulated different aspects of a liverelease tournament (angling, live-well confinement, and weigh-in procedure). In ac...
