in order to study the role of phytophthora species associated with greenhouse cucumber root and crown rot, diseased sampled were collected in southern kohgiluyeh and boyerahmad province. pieces of infected root and crown of cucumber were washed with tap water blotted dry and plated on cma supplemented with delvocid (10 ppm pimarcin), ampicillin (250 ppm), rifampicin (10 ppm) and pcnb (150 ppm)....

Seeds of pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L) R. Br.) from six provenances of Tunisia were subjected to germination and shoot and root length tests on filter paper treated with polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG 6000) solutions made up to provide osmotic potentials of 0, -1 and -2 MPa. Mean germination percent for all provenances decreased about 73% in -2 MPa compared to control (0 MPa) treatment. O...

Effect of fertilizer applications and grazing exclusion on species composition and biomass in wet meadow restoration in eastern Washington. Fertilizer applications and grazing exclusion were used as restoration strategies in degraded wet meadows in eastern Washington to grow biomass in the root systems where it could not be grazed. We used a split-block design to test vegetation responses to si...

The cell distribution and the tissue composition of chronic inflammatory periapical lesions were analyzed from seventeen biopsies of root-filled maxillary canines and incisors. The specimens, which included the root tip, the soft granulation tissue, and portions of the surrounding alveolar bone, were subjected to a stereologic analysis based on morphometric point-counting procedures. Plasma cel...

Ficus benjaminais a very popular and resistant indoor plant in temperate areas. Cutting is the easiest propagation method of this plant and it requires special treatments such as auxin and appropriate rooting medium. In order to test the suitable auxin (IBA) concentration and rooting media, a factorial experiment carried out based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Exp...
