velvetleaf (abutilon theophrasti) is one of the most important weeds of soybean fields in golestan province. a field experiment was conducted in gorgan agricultural research station in 2007 to determine the critical period for velvetleaf control in williams soybean (glycine max (l.) merr.) cultivar using a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. treatments were included two sets o...

abstract field bindweed is an important perinial weed of agricultural crops word-wide. there are plant pathogen fungus which could cause necrotic spots on the leaves and stems of convolvulus arvensis under natural coditions. in order to evaluate the effects of weed growth stage and length of dew period on disease development causes by aletrnaria alternata and fusarium sp. two expriments were pe...

Drought is one of the most important factors limiting crop yields around the world. Drought stress in plants, the change (increase or decrease) in the production of plant proteins. This research was carried out using bread wheat genotypes. For evaluation of leaf protein pattern in wheat, 10 genotypes were assayed with 3 replications under irrigated (non-stress) and rain-fed (stress) conditions....

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) exhibit diverse and important roles in plant growth, development, and stress responses and regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Knowledge about the diversity of miRNAs and their roles in leaf development in celery remains unknown. To elucidate the roles of miRNAs in celery leaf development, we identified leaf development-related miRNAs through high-thro...

evaluating of some physiological indices for recognizing water deficit effects, selecting water deficit tolerant oilseed rape genotypes and also evaluation of drought effects on seed and oil yields and its components were the goals of this study. the experiment was conducted as factorial based on a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in east azarbaijan research center for ...

We seem to be in need of a new variety of politics, a politics which does not regard ethnic, religious, racial, linguistic, or regional assertiveness as so much irrationality, archaic and ingenerate, to be suppressed or transcended . . . . It depends on developing a less simplistically demonizing, blankly negative attitude toward it as a relic of some savage or some early stage of human existen...

dwarf chicory (cichorium pumilum jacq.) is one of the annual species from chicory genus grows in western and southern parts of iran. to date no study on this species has been carried out under the field conditions. in order to determine the suitable planting date of dwarf chicory, an experiment was conducted in a split plot layout based on randomized complete block design with three replication...

Twenty-two phages that infect Stenotrophomonas species were isolated through sewage enrichment and prophage induction. Of them, S1, S3, and S4 were selected due to their wide host ranges compared to those of the other phages. S1 and S4 are temperate siphoviruses, while S3 is a virulent myovirus. The genomes of S3 and S4, about 33 and 200 kb, were resistant to restriction digestion. The lytic cy...
