the addition of cottonwood and ash sapwood powder to ypssl2 medium influenced the mycelial growth of 13 species of freshwater lignicolous ascomycetes and hyphornycetes. these species fall into three groups with respect to their responses to the presence of leached or non-leached wood powder. neither wood type showed strong inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth of the species. leaching did no...

Previous studies have confirmed that the growth and development of plants are entirely dependent on the gravitational acceleration of the Earth. So far, most of the studies on the plant response to the Earth gravity have focused on the geotropism of root tip of higher plants<span lang="AR-SA" dir="RTL...

Introduction: Nutritional requirements of fungi are essential for their successful growth in laboratories. Some fungi feed on the compounds present in the insects' bodies. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of insects' body powder (IBP) as a supplement for the fungi growth in culture media. Methods: We used 10 mg of IBP, obtained from Anopheles superpictus and Culex theileri mosqu...

Light is an effective factor in cell suspension culture and must be controlled for optimizing cell growth. Growth of anthocyanin producing suspension cells of a red-fleshed genotype of apple (RFA) was assessed in response to blue diode laser (BDL) and red He Ne (RHNL) laser. The suspension cells in L-shaped test tubes were exposed to short-term laser radiation for 20 min in a rotary shaker. The...

the crop simulation models are heuristic tools in order to determine optimal of management strategies and analyzing yield stability in agroecosystems. the objective of this study was to evaluate cropsyst model ability for simulating of development, growth and yield of wheat cultivars from golestan province in response to planting date. the results of model evaluation were acceptable so that, th...
