Rangeland ecosystems provide a wide range of services such as gas regulation function whose economic value has not been understood. The present study aimed to estimate the economic value of CO2 absorption and oxygen generation services using unit price in Sheikh Musa Rangeland, Mazandaran Province, Iran. In the study area, clipping and weight and photosynthesis methods were applied to estimate ...

Halvetîliğin kurucusu Ömer Halvetî’dir. Ancak yayılması Pîr-i Sânî Yahyâ-yı Şirvânî ile olmuştur. Şirvânî’nin halifelerinden Pîr Muhammed Erzincânî, Dede Rûşenî, Molla Ali Halvetî ve Habib Karamânî gibi dervişler Halvetîliği Anadolu’da yaymaya çalışan ilk şeyhlerdir. On beşinci yüzyılda girdiği şehirlerden biri Amasya’dır. İlyâs’ın çaba gayretleri sonucunda on Amasya’da Halvetîlik yayılmaya baş...

The aim of this study was to better understand the evolution of the Musa (banana) genome through sequence and phylogenetic analyses. For this purpose, we used a set of large-hybridization spectrum across monocots cDNA probes from Sorghum bicolor to isolate and sequence 11 Musa acuminata BAC clones containing genes with a high degree of sequence conservation among monocots. Comparison of the 11 ...

The development of organized, informative, robust, user-friendly, and freely accessible molecular markers is imperative to the Musa marker assisted breeding program. Although several hundred SSR markers have already been developed, the number of informative, robust, and freely accessible Musa markers remains inadequate for some breeding applications. In view of this issue, we surveyed SSRs in f...

Despite being the number one fruit crop in the world, very little is known about the phylogeny and molecular biology of banana (Musa spp.). Six banana rbcS gene families encoding the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from six different Musa spp. are presented. For a comprehensive phylogenetic study using Musa rbcS genes, a total of 57 distinct rbcS sequences was i...

Application of biological structure is one of the hottest topics in the field of science and technology. The unimaginable and excellent architectures of living beings supporting their vital activities have attracted the interests of worldwide researchers. An intriguing example is Musa basjoo which belongs to the herb, while appears like a tree. The profound mystery of structure and potential ap...

BACKGROUND Banana (genus Musa) is a crop of major economic importance worldwide. It is a monocotyledonous member of the Zingiberales, a sister group of the widely studied Poales. Most cultivated bananas are natural Musa inter-(sub-)specific triploid hybrids. A Musa acuminata reference nuclear genome sequence was recently produced based on sequencing of genomic DNA enriched in nucleus. METHODO...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Bananas and plantains (Musa spp.) are one of the major fruit crops worldwide with acknowledged importance as a staple food for millions of people. The rich genetic diversity of this crop is, however, endangered by diseases, adverse environmental conditions and changed farming practices, and the need for its characterization and preservation is urgent. With the aim of providi...

architecture has been always recognized as a framework which is influenced by social beliefs, traditions and interactions and furthermore affects individual soul and tendency. therefore it is impossible to analyze and consequently identify an architectural artifact if not accompanied by analysis of intellectual fundamentals of its contemporary society. the ensemble of sheikh safi al-din which i...
