sulfur (s) is an essential macronutrient influencing plant growth, nutrient efficiency, quality and health of agricultural crops. the purpose of this research was to study the effects of s rates and sources on growth and fruit quality of apple (malus domestica l.) trees of ‘golden delicious’ at west azerbaijan, iran. experiment was conducted during four seasons (2003-2007), using a factorial ra...

the present study was done to investigate the correlation between biochemical changes of grafted tree fruits and rootstock fruits in gorgan university of agricultural science and natural resources in 2012-2013. for this purpose, the antioxidant activity and the total content of phenol and  flavonoid on four rootstocks such as yuzu (citrus junos), shelmahalleh (citrus sinensis var. shel mahalleh...

Genomes and genes diversify during evolution; however, it is unclear to what extent genes still retain the relationship among species. Model species for molecular phylogenetic studies include yeasts and viruses whose genomes were sequenced as well as plants that have the fossil-supported true phylogenetic trees available. In this study, we generated single gene trees of seven yeast species as w...

we used various screening techniques, clustering, decision tree and generalized rule induction (association) (gri) models and molecular phylogenic relationship to search for patterns of halophi-licy and to find features contribute to halolysin salt stability. we found met was the sole n-terminal amino acid in halolysin proteins, whereas other amino acids found at this position of oth-er proteas...

In the computational biology and taxonomy, to construct phylogenetic tree is an important problem. A phylogenetic tree can represent the relationship and histories for a set of species and helpful for biologists to observe existent species. One of popular model is ultrametric tree, and it assumed the evolution rate is constant. UPGMA is one of well-known ultrametric tree algorithm. However, UPG...

Introduction: Allergic rhinitis and asthma can be related to occupation. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between asthma or allergic rhinitis and employment in the palm tree gardens of Jahrom, Iran.   Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including 50 palm tree garden workers and a control group of 50 office employees. Data collection included demographic...

BACKGROUND Despite empirical support for an increase in ecosystem productivity with species diversity in synthetic systems, there is ample evidence that this relationship is dependent on environmental characteristics, especially in structurally more complex natural systems. Empirical support for this relationship in forests is urgently needed, as these ecosystems play an important role in carbo...
