Nigella sativa L. is a significant medicinal and aromatic plant due to the usage of both its seed fixed oil. The aim study investigate effects on yield, various yield components, essential oil content, chemical composition (2018 year) black cumin when harvesting at four different stages maturity. These were 25% (SH1), 50% (SH2), 75% (SH3) 100% (SH4) browning capsules. Two-year field experiments...

in order to evaluate the effects of different plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on yield and yield components of sesame, an experiment was conducted in the form of randomized complete block design with three replications at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad in year 2009. treatments were: 1) nitragin (containing of azotobacter sp., azospirillum sp...

The current study is a field experiment set out to comprehend significance of the iron oxide (IO) nanoparticles for use as seed priming agents and their subsequent impact in alleviating water stress improving agronomic profile flax plants. experimental layout consisted split-plot factorial design with one main plot divided into two subplots corresponding drought well-irrigated environment. Each...

The main goal of this work was to detect whether Cytospora chrysosperma and Fusicoccum eucalypti are present as endophytes of symptomless hypocotyls, cotyledons, flowers, capsules, peduncles of flowers in order to interpret an earlier finding of their presence in seeds, seedling stems and twigs of E. globulus. Segments from these organs as well as from bark and the xylem from flower peduncles w...

Animal and human studies have shown that greatly increasing the amounts of flaxseed oil [rich in the (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) a-linolenic acid (ALNA)] or fish oil [FO; rich in the long chain (n-3) PUFA eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)] in the diet can decrease mitogen-stimulated lymphocyte proliferation. The objective of this study was to determine the e...

in order to evaluate the effects of different organic and chemical fertilizers on yield, yield components and seed oil content of sesame an experiment was conducted in a split plot layout based on randomized complete block design with four replications at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad in year 2006. four types of fertilizer, including chemical fertilize...

Plant-animal interactions imply costs and benefits with net balance depending on interacting species and ecological context. Ungulates, in particular, confer costs (e.g., plant leaf consumption, flower bud predation) and benefits (e.g., plant overcompensation, seed dispersal) to plants. Magnitude of costs and benefits may be altered by habitat management or ecological conditions favoring high d...
