temperature is an importan environmental factor that inevitably determines the extent and geographical range of plants. in this study, the chilling induced responses of 11 desi chickpea genotypes were surveyed under growth chamber conditions to screen for chilling tolerance. electrolyte leakage (el) and lipid peroxidization (malondialdehide (mda)) methods were employed for the purpose. data ana...

To maximize the toughening contributions due to fiber bridging and residual stresses upon layering, ultra-high temperature ceramics containing variable amounts of short carbon in functionally graded stacking sequences were designed characterized. Stress fields evaluated by finite element model on (AB)nA more complex asymmetric architectures compared experimental fracture toughness pointing an e...

Too often crop production is facing with different intensity of cold damage. In some years the damage is severe and has a large social and economic consequence. Therefore, selection and introduction of cold tolerant cultivars is very effective in reducing cold damage and increasing crop production. Frequently, in winter safflower yield trails in Isfahan province, depending on the intensity of w...
