during winter 2004 and 2005, two field and glasshouse experiments were conducted to evaluate the response of 471 chickpea genotypes to ascochyta rabiei, as ascochyta blight (ab) disease in chickpea (cicer aurietimum). frequent rainfall at flowering and pod formation stages made favorite conditions conducive for the infection and symptoms expression. so, the genotypes with high level of toleranc...

drought stress in plants, the change (increase or decrease) in the production of plant proteins. proteomics in recent years one of the most powerful tools that help us to study the changes in protein in order to investigate the proteome of wheat leaves in response to terminal drought, two genotypes susceptible and resistant wheat genotypes were evaluated under irrigated (non-stress) and rain-fe...

Garlic is an herbaceous annual bulbous plant in the family Amaryllidaceae grown for its pungent and edible bulb. Among various biotic factors hindering production productivity, purple blotch plays a predominant role changing crops morpho-physiological characters, thus deteriorating metabolic activity turn affecting yield considerably. Fungicides have been recommended control of disease, however...

Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is the one of the native and valuable shrub in Iran. Identification of the superior genotypes of hazelnut is the firs step for cultivation developing and breeding programs of this nut crop. In this research, had been studied phenological, morphological and pomological characters according to hazelnut’s descriptor for two years (2009-2010) on four populations of ha...

screening is an important subject for breeding programs of resistant varieties of lentil. in recent years many developments were carried out in identification of resistant sources of germplasm of leguminous against soil-borne causes. fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis is one of the important disease of lentil in the world and iran. in this study, reactions of 30 lentil genotypes evaluated to find ...

A replicated factorial experiment using 183 individually fed crossbred barrows was conducted. The pigs were fed an 18.5% CP (.95% lysine) diet with 3.594 kcal of ME/kg. The effects of five genotypes (GT): 1) Hampshire (H) X (H X Duroc [D]), 2) synthetic terminal sire line, 3) (H X D) X (Landrace [L] X [Yorkshire (Y) X D]), 4) L X (Y X D), and 5) Y X L; two levels of ractopamine (RAC) treatment:...

Background: One third of epileptic patients are resistant to several anti-epileptic drugs (AED). P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is an efflux transporter encoded by ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1) gene that excludes drugs from the cells and plays a significant role in AEDs resistance. Over-expression of P-gp could be a result of polymorphisms in ABCB1 gene. We studied the association of...

Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases (MAPKs) function in signaling pathways as modules cascading between stimulus activated sensors and response mechanisms.ZmMAPK14, a group C final MAPK of this cascade was identified differentially expressed message cDNA-AFLP studies both susceptible resistant genotypes, where gradual induction displayed the genotype while clear repression occurred to Puccinia so...
