Date palm is an important crop, especially in the hot-arid regions of the world. Date palm fruits have high nutritional and therapeutic value and possess significant antibacterial and antifungal properties. In this study, we performed bioactivity analyses and metabolic profiling of date fruits of 12 cultivars from Saudi Arabia to assess their nutritional value. Our results showed that the date ...

A study was initiated in 2001at four locations in western Canada to investigate an integrated approach to managing wild oat, the region’s worst weed. The study examined the effects of combining semidwarf or tall barley cultivars with normal or twice-normal barley seeding rates in either continuous barley or a barley–canola–barley–field pea–barley rotation. Herbicides were applied at 25, 50, and...

a field study was conducted at the college of agriculture, shiraz university, shiraz, iran to evaluate the effect of different crop residue and nitrogen rates on yield and yield components of two dryland wheat (triticum aestivum l.) cultivars. the experiment was conducted as a strip split plot with four replications. vertical plots included two dryland current wheat cultivars (azar2 and nicknej...

poses a marketing problem for brewing companies because nobody wants to consume a “toxin” and DON has Fusarium head blight (FHB), incited by Fusarium graminearum been associated with beer gushing (Schwarz et al., 1995). Schwabe, has caused devastating losses in both yield and quality of barBeer gushing or overfoaming is the most easily identifiley (Hordeum vulgare L.) produced in the northern G...

Broader environmental tolerance associated with mixed population of soybean (Glycine max Merr.) cultivars may increase soybean yield potential and play a significant role in yield stability. A field study was carried out to assess whether intercropping of two commonly used cultivars of soybean with different morphological characteristics may increase seed yield in Iran. A split-plot design was ...

The Dhn5 gene is the major cold-inducible dehydrin gene in barley. This study deals with the relationship between Dhn5 gene expression and its protein product accumulation, and the development of frost tolerance (FT) upon cold acclimation (CA) in 10 barley cultivars of different growth habits and geographical origins. The activation of Dhn5 gene expression was determined by quantitative reverse...
