in order to study the effects of four concentrations (check, 5, 10 and 15%) of hull extracts on growth of 10 iranian rice cultivars, two experiments were conducted in completely randomized block design with factorial arrangement and three replications at two sites, laboratory and greenhouse. laboratory study showed that same rice hull extracts had stimulat effects and the others had inhibitory ...

hybrid rice varieties are potentially higher yielding than the best inbred varieties and perform better under adverse conditions of drought and salinity. one of the major impediments for seed production of hybrid rice is incomplete panicle exsertion in the cytoplasmic male sterile lines. the unexserted spikelets which are left inside the flag leaf sheath remain unfertile. this research was focu...

in general, spring cultivation of sugar beet is prevalent, but nowadays because of water sources limitation and also plants low water use efficiency in this time of cultivation, autumn cultivation is growing up. several assessments also have showed that in compare with spring cultivation, autumn cultivation of sugar beet has other benefits including reducing the likelihood of plant disease and ...

the aim of this study was to investigate the hemagglutination properties of caprine herpesvirus-1(cphv-1) and their application for cphv-1 antigen detection and evaluation of the dynamics of postinfectious/vaccine antibody production. cphv-1 hemagglutination activity was proved only with mouseerythrocytes, pbs and saline solutions at 4°c and 22°c. in vaccinated animals, goats and bucks withresp...

background and objectives: the region of the experiment is located in golestan province, iran, with agriculture subject to various farming conditions (rain-fed and irrigation) and different levels of salinity (more than 38% of golestan’s total land area is salt-affected). the purpose of this study has been to evaluate the stress indices in the selection of tolerant wheat genotypes, not only for...

for fighting with blights and studying on effect of thickness, two experiments were done. the first series were included independent variable ages of blight in four levels (age1,age2,age3 and age4) and the thermal care temperature in four levels(10,15,20 and 30 seconds) and the dependent variable is death rate . the second series were included independent variables thermal care temperature in t...

in order to achieve a sustainable management and development of natural resources, a set of technical, eco-social, environmental and ecological criteria must be considered in the planning process. an appropriate model is therefore needed to address all the criteria mentioned above, in the decision making process and finally provide a reliable result. in the last few years, analytical hierarchic...

in the current study, for improving quality and quantity of ‘yaghooti’ seedless grape, gibberellic acid was sprayed in four concentrations including zero (as control), 15, 25 and 40 mg/l, at three stages, and girdling treatments were carried out simultaneously with the third step of ga3 spraying at the base of  fruit bearing shoots with four replications. the cluster length was significantly in...

diabetes is a metabolic disorder specified by hyperglycemia following a defect in insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of high-intensity interval training (hiit) on serum adiponectin levels and insulin resistance of women with type 2 diabetes. for this purpose, 35 overweight women with type 2 diabetes (age range 45-60 years, bmi 25-30 kg...

rice (oryza sativa l.) is one of the iran's most strategic crops with water shortage as the most important abiotic stress limiting its yield. in the present research the effects of: variety, water regime, nitrogen (n) and phosphorus (p) levels on n, p and k uptake were studied under greenhouse conditions. the experiment design was a factorial one based upon a randomized complete blocks of ...
