1. A study of the length, total weight and weight per cm of the small intestine of virgin, pregnant and lactating rats has provided evidence for an increase in intestinal surface area in pregnancy and lactation. 2. Because of such alterations in morphology of the gut the absorption, in vivo, of the substrates studied, glucose and glycine, has been expressed in terms of amount transferred per lo...

Changes in dry weights, reduced N, nitrate, and nitrate reductase activity of various plant parts of the above ground vegetation (stover) and ears of field grown maize were measured at intervals between anthesis and grain maturity. Nonstructural carbohydrate contents were also measured in some instances. Changes in dry weight and reduced N content were used to approximate net in situ photosynth...

Research pertaining to genetic variability parameters, heritability, and genotypic, phenotypic, simple, and environmental correlations for various seedling traits in five elite advanced cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) lines (FH-113, FH-114, FH-941, FH-942, and FH-2015) and one check (CIM-496) was carried out during October and November 2010 under greenhouse conditions at the Cotton Research Inst...

Technological characteristics (dry weight, dry volume, wet water absorption capacity, waterabsorption index, hydration coefficient, swelling cooking time, number of destructedseeds after cooking) 27 chickpea cultivars grown under natural conditions (without the use ofchemical/organic fertilizers) were investigated in this study. Except for index and hydrationcoefficients, effects on found to be...

Forty two Malpura lambs (21 d old) were divided into three groups of 14 each consisting of 8 females and 6 males. Lambs were allowed to suckle their respective dams twice daily up to weaning (13 wks) and offered free choice concentrate and roughage in a cafeteria system. The lambs in control group were fed conventional concentrate mixture, in RBO group concentrate mixture fortified with 4% indu...

Flesh color in Irish potato varieties ranges from almost pure white to a deep canary yellow. The yellowish tinge of "white-fleshed" varieties is intensified after dehydration, becoming a definite yellow if the tubers have been harvested in an immature state, as is the case with material grown in the south (1, 2). This residual yellow color, when it occurred, was at one time considered by the Ar...

in order to investigate the effect of organic and chemical fertilizers on growth characteristics of marjoram, a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad during 2012-2013 growing season. treatments were comprised of four urea levels (0, 21.7, 108.7 and 195.7 kg.ha-1) a...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect  of irrigation period on the quality and quantity of yield and some morphological and physiological traits of three multigerm sugar beet genotypes named bp mashhad, bp karaj and 191. the experiment was in a split  plot  based on randomized complete block  design , carried out  at motahari research station of sugar beet seed research institute ...
