This study investigates the leaf anatomy of five Cupressaceae taxa in Kurdistan region-Iraq. Using light microscope for numerical and descriptive anatomical variations three species two varieties belonging to Cupressus, Platycladus, Juniperus genera were examined Taxonomic value. These include characters epiderm, hypoderm, mesophyll layer, resin canals, transfusion tracheids, pith, vascular bun...

This research was carried out in order to quantify throughfall (TF) and interception loss (I) and to compare the chemical composition of TF, i.e. lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) as well as electrical conductivity (EC) and pH beneath Pinus eldarica and Cupressus arizonica plantations and the open field rainfall. The research was accomplished in the Chitgar Forest Park, a semi-arid polluted urban area...

this research was carried out in a reforest at shirvanagriculturecollegein two years (2005-2007). the aim of this research was to determine of canopy interception loss, throughfall and stemflow. four trees species were used including pinus nigra, cupressus sempervirens, robinia pseudacacia and platanus orientalis with three replications. the results showed that the amount of canopy interception...

Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs) data were analyzed from eighteen taxa of Cupressus from the eastern hemisphere. The following fourteen taxa were distinct in their RAPDs: Cupressus assamica (India), C. atlantica (Morocco), C. austrotibetica (Tibet), C. cashmeriana (Bhutan), C. chengiana (Sichuan), C. darjeelingensis (India), C. duclouxiana (Yunnan), C. dupreziana (Algeria), C. funebris...

the main goal of this study was to compare of rainfall interception (i) by pinus eldarica and cupressus arizonica plantations afforested in the chitgar forest park in a semiarid climate zone of iran. from the september 2012 to september 2013, gross rainfall (gr) and throughfall (tf) were collected through 10 and 50 rain-gauges, respectively. i was calculated as the difference between gr and tf....

BACKGROUND Sensitization to Pinales (Cupressaceae and Pinaceae) has increased dramatically in recent years. The prevalence of sensitization in different geographic areas is related to exposure to specific pollens. OBJECTIVES To investigate the prevalence of allergy to different conifer pollens, describe the characteristics of patients with such allergy, and identify the involved allergens. ...

Vegetative shoots of Arizona cypress (Cupressus arizonica Greene) were found to contain an estimated 40 to 70 mug of gibberellin-like activity per kg. Based on elution patterns of silicic acid and celite partition columns, mobilities on thin layer chromatograms and specificity of the cucumber, d-3 dwarf maize, dwarf pea, and barley half seed bioassays it was possible to determine that the tissu...

biomonitoring is the one of the cost-effective and simple ways for investigation of environmental quality and refers to process which in that using living organisms or part of them can obtain quantitative information on environmental quality. industrial activities causes to entrance considerable amount of heavy metals to the atmosphere and use of boimonitoring potential of plants growing in the...
