in most semiarid and arid areas, fresh water shortage compels managers to use low quality water sources with high salinity to irrigate turf and landscape. recent research has noticed that management of nitrogen fertilization can alleviate salinity effects on plants. this greenhouse sand culture experiment was conducted in order to investigate morphological and physiological responses to salinit...

botrytis cinerea is an important pathogen that causes diseases in ornamental crops. in presentresearch several greenhouses of roses located in central region of iran were surveyed toidentify the botrytis cinerea. a total of 80 isolates were collected from rose greenhouses incentral region of iran. morphological identification was based on characters such asconidiophore and conidial length. acco...

six belonolaim species were collected from grasslands of sabalan region. the found species belong to genera amplimerlinius, merlinius, nagelus, neodolichorhynchus, paramerlinius and tylenchorhynchus. among the found species, neodolichorhynchus judithae is reported for the first time from iran and is characterized byhaving offset head, cuticule with 16 longitudinal ridges, delicate stylet 21-23 ...

eight strawberry cultivars (paros, queen elisa, pajaro, camarosa, gaviota, selva, mrak and kurdistan as local cultivar) were evaluated to select the best cultivar based on quantitative yield production in kurdistan province condition. an experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2008- 2010 in grizeh research station (sanandaj). eleven morpholo...

identification and evaluation of indigenous genotypes of fruit trees are matter of consideration at the first step of the breeding programs. in order to study genetic diversity and to identify promising genotypes, 14 different genotypes of walnut in minoodasht region in golestan province (north of iran) were evaluated. traits such as nut shape, kernel color, ease of removal of kernel halves, ke...

the first step in walnut breeding programs is to identify and evaluate superior genotypes of fruit trees. hence, there are various walnut breeding programs in various areas of iran. a study aimed to evaluate the morphological and chemical characteristics of selected superior genotypes of walnut was conducted in the shahroud region in 2011-2012.  the following genotypes were selected in this stu...

Previous experiments based on a masked-priming paradigm revealed robust morphological priming effects induced by two derivational morphemes in Hebrew: the root and the verbal pattern. However, considering the special characteristics of the masked-priming paradigm, the possible contributions of phonological and/or semantic factors to these morphological effects could not be firmly assessed. In t...

conclusions this study showed that aloe vera has antibacterial effects against e. coli, and can result in structural and physiological changes in this bacterium. objectives the aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of an aloe vera extract on the morphological and physiological properties of escherichia coli. patients and methods a clinical isolate of e. coli was obtained from a patie...

to compare the yield and yield components of 10 promising dryland barley genotypes with a conventional cultivar (reihan03), a field experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design in miyaneh region in the 2010-2011 growing season, and their agronomic and morphological traits were recorded. genotypes were significantly different in terms of all the studied traits, and genoty...
