BACKGROUND According to WHO estimation, the number of diabetic patients would reach about 591.9 million people in 2035. The tendency towards other kinds of treatment is increasing because of the high therapeutic expenditures and current medical complications. Positive results of massage in recent articles and the prominent role of dalk in Iranian traditional medicine led us to the present study...

Health service institutions of the past and thair transformation over the years, serve to explain the state of the present health-care system, particularly when the original institutions survive in some form or other to fulfill the same primary functions. With their persistence. they may affect the 'health-attitudes' of generations and orientations of the population towards a specific system of...

iran is widely drought prone, considering its semi-arid climate. eleven wheat cultivars differing in yield potential and drought resistance were employed to determine the possible relationship among grain filling rate and duration, stem reserves remobilization and grain yield under either irrigated (ir) or non-irrigated (nir) conditions at gerizeh research station in sanandaj for a duration of ...

To determine seed storage protein banding patterns in some bread wheat cultivars and the similarity of banding patterns among different cultivars, an experiment based on seed storage protein electrophoresis (albumin and globulin) was performed. Water and salt soluble proteins were extracted in sixteen wheat cultivars using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and banding pattern was obtained. Stu...

plants are always exposed to vast aspects of either environmental biotic or abiotic stresses and those stresses affecting the plant growth and therefore crop production. molecular and physiological mechanisms influence plant resistance to environmental stresses, therefore the identification of these mechanisms can be an important step in challenging the damages. in this study, plant physiologic...

wheat stem reserves can be an important contributor to grain particularly under decrease in the source strength through defoliation. the aim of this research was to study ability remobilization as important contribution on yield stability under drought conditions and to investigate their intrinsic compensatory mechanism in the wheat cultivars with different degrees of resource limitations under...

to investigate the effects of sowing date (sd) and single irrigation (si) on grain yield of rainfed wheat varieties, this experiment was conducted as split-split plot arranged in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications from sep.2000 to sep.2004 at the main station of dryland agricultural research institute (dari) in maragheh. the treatments included three sowing dates ...

the main purpose of rainfed farming is increasing the water productivity by applying suitable agricultural management including single irrigation (si) and panting time for wheat varieties. in order to study the si optimization and determination its optimal program, a field experiment was conducted as split-split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications for differ...
