abstractin order to evaluate the effect of vermicompost and humic acid on quantitative and qualitative traits of sod turf, a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was established in research farm in shahrekord university. treatments were vermicompost (zero, 5, 10 and 15 v/v percent) and humic acid (zero, 150 and 250 g/m2), respectively. some traits s...

Due to the lack of scientific knowledge for the use of substrate and best fertilizing method in the growth of Araucaria excelsa, it is crucially important to find the most appropriate planting substrate and fertilizing method. The effect of conventional fertilizing method and the application of Fe nanofertilizer were studied on the growth of A. excelsa in which six fertilizing methods and three...

the effect of tricyclazole application on waterlogging damage alleviation in canola seedlings was evaluated in a pot experiment in complete randomized design layout with three replications. treatments included: control (no waterlogging), waterlogging, tricyclazole plus waterlogging and tricyclazole. tricyclazole (75%) applied at three-leaf stage on canola seedlings. seedlings were exposed to wa...

Sweet cherries (Prunus avium L.) contain various phenolic compounds which contribute to total antioxidant activity. Total polyphenols, tannins, flavonoids and anthocyanins, and antioxidant capacity in a fruits of a number of selected sweet cherry genotypes were investigated. Total polyphenols content ranged from 4.12 to 8.34 mg gallic acid equivantents/g dry fruit weight and total tannins conte...

identification of quantitative trait loci is one of the important issues in breeding program especially under stress condition. plant material in the present study was a natural population including 72 tobacco genotypes. in order to apply osmotic stress, mannitol with 0.33 molar concentrations was used. the genotyping of individual were performed using 21 out of 35 primer combinations of aflp m...

This study determined the effect of light intensity and photoperiod on the dry cell weight and total amount of carotenoids in four isolates of purple non-sulfur bacteria obtained from shaded and exposed microhabitats of a mangrove ecosystem in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. The initial isolation of the bacteria was carried out using synthetic 112 medium under anaerobic conditions (2.5 klx) at ...

Total hepatic water content, dry weight, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, RNA, DNA, and electrolyte concentrations were determined in control and Streptococcus pneumoniae-infected rats. During infection, there was a significant (P = 0.001) increase in total liver weight. This increase was the result of increased total liver water content and increased total liver dry weight. Intracellular water co...

Greenhouse experiments in a completely randomized design were carried out to investigate the effects of nitroxin fertilizer (0, 1 and 2 li/ha) on morphological and physiological traits of Amaranthus retroflexus in 2013. The traits in the study included plant height, fresh and dry weight of shoots, roots, stem and leaf, Chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophyll, carotenoids, anthocyanin, a...
