Water stress is one of the most important abiotic limiting factors that restricts growth, development and productivity of horticulrural crops. In vitro methods have been successfully used for evaluating water deficit stress in plants. In this regards, responses of four Iranian grapevine genotypes to drought stress induced by polyethylene glycol 6000 at -5, -5.24, -5.65, -6.24 and -7 bar were...

Morphological similarities of the populations and species of the genus Ponticola in the southern Caspian Sea make their identification difficult based on the provided keys. Molecular markers are used as a supplementary tools to better understanding of the fishes’ taxonomic statues. This study was conducted to understand taxonomic statues of gobiids from 6 rivers (Siah, Zaringol, Babol, Tajan, S...

The objectives of this study were to analyze genotype by environment (GE) interactions effects on the yield of barley lines and varieties, identifying salinity tolerant genotypes with stable yield and also evaluating genotype (G), environments (E) and GE interactions using different stability parameters. The research was set up as two Randomized Complete Block design with three replications at ...

Abstract Background: Vitis vinifera has a number of flavonoids which applied as antioxidant and anti-cancer activity. The present study was carried out to investigate effects of seed, skin, juice and leaf extracts of five grape species gathered from Qazvin and Kashan provinces on lymphocyte proliferation. Materials and methods: This experimental study was done on grape species of Shahroodi, Bid...

Simple folded Zagros has several phosphate horizons with the Cretaceous – Tertiary ages that are present as inter-layer in Pabdeh and Gurpy formations. Therefore, study of combination, texture of mineralogy and determination of genesis of marine phosphate of Zagros basin during Eocene – Oligocene is important. In this study, 28 samples were collected from phosphate Kuhe-e- Sefid and Kuh-e- Lar ...
