consumption of whole-wheat breads prepared from high extraction flours is recommended because of their high content of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. despite the beneficial effects of these breads, they contain high amounts of undesirable compounds like phytic acid (pa) which is believed to negatively interfere with the absorption of some such nutrients as zinc (zn). wheat genotypes are differe...

planting pattern can be adjusted by changing row spacing and row width, one row and two- row planting and plant interval on rows. in order to obtain the optimum planting pattern of a monogerm hybrid cultivar and its effect on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of this cultivar, an experiment was conducted in two years (2001-2002) in zarghan area of farsprovince. the measured chara...

for a comparison and grouping of 72 almond cultivars and genotypes, 30 traits including; 12 phenological and vegetative characters plus 18 traits related to nut and kernel were assessed, according to almond universal descriptor. the results revealed that some such traits as growth habit, flower color, nut weight, shell hardness and kernel taste carried high coefficients of variation. simple cor...

damping-off is an important disease of safflower in iran, that caused by pythium ultimum. because of its importance, fungi isolates were sampled from infected plants grown in research farm of the college of agriculture, gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources, in 2006. also it has been proved that the disease caused by pythium ultimum. evaluation of seventeen safflower ...

safflower as an original crop in iran has high adaptability to different environmental conditions. iran is one of the original areas of safflower as a drought and salinity tolerant crop. therefor, safflower can be a suitable alternative crop for cultivation in marginal areas. the aims of research were studying the late season drought effects on seed and oil yields and its components of fall saf...
