in order to evaluate the tolerance of pistachio some cultivars to salinity a pot experiment was carried with 2 factors including cultivar and salinity in the year 2013. the cultivars were ghazvini, shah pasand, akbari, khanjari, jandaghi, italiyayi, fndoghi 48, sabz pesteh tohg, ahmad aghayi, rezaie zood res, mousa abadi, ebarahimi, kaleh ghochi and badami zarand. the salinity was applied in fi...

Expression patterns of four candidate AREB/ABF genes and four DREB/CBF genes were evaluated in leaf and root tissues of five grape varieties ('Qalati', 'Kaj Angoor', 'Sabz Angoor', 'Siahe Zarghan', 'Bidane Safid') with differential response to drought stress. Among the AREB/ABF genes, AREB1 and ABF2 showed up-regulation in response to drought stress in leaf and root tissues of all varieties whi...

The seeds from two varieties namely Sabz Pari and Punjab-8 of Okra (Hibiscus esculentus), grown under similar environment, exhibited oil content 11.72 and 13.42%, respectively. Protein, fiber, moisture and ash contents were found to be 20.00, 29.60, 7.26 and 5.18 and 23.68, 27.41, 8.35 and 6.23, respectively. The physicochemical characteristics of the extracted oils were as follows: iodine valu...

Lethal infections with canine distemper virus (CDV) have recently been diagnosed in Amur tigers (Panthera tigris altaica), but long-term implications for the population are unknown. This study evaluates the potential impact of CDV on a key tiger population in Sikhote-Alin Biosphere Zapovednik (SABZ), and assesses how CDV might influence the extinction potential of other tiger populations of var...

This paper presents a methodology for tile image reconstruction. This methodology is integrated in a computer tool that allows automatic image analysis. Both, the reconstruction and analysis techniques are based on vectorial tools, the application of the theory of symmetry groups and perceptual psychology. Image analysis allows us to obtain information about design patterns which is used to res...

A randomized block experiment conducted on Sultanpur silt loam evaluated the N effects on growth and nitrate accumulation of okra (Hibiscus esculents L. cv. Sabz pari) and carrot (Daucus carota L. cv. T29). Treatments consisted of a control, 100, 150 and 200 kg N ha. Significantly higher yields of carrot and okra were recorded at 150 kg N ha. Nitrate concentration in both increased (> 35 to 200...
