This study aims to examine the potential reasons for the current prevalence of the fusarium wilt in the oriental melon. Twenty-seven Fusarium isolates obtained from oriental melon greenhouses in 2010-2011 were identified morphologically and by analysis of elongation factor-1 alpha gene (EF-1α) and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequences as 6 Fusarium species (8 isolates of F. oxysporum...

gross rainfall (gr) partitioning into throughfall (tf), stemflow (sf) and interception loss (i) was studied in a pure oriental beech (fagus orientalis lipsky) forest located in the central caspian region of northern iran. measurements were performed on a rainfall event basis in a 5625 m2 plot of the kheyrud forest research station of tehran university during 2008 and 2009 growing seasons. gr wa...

Solar activity has been recorded as auroras or sunspots in various historical sources. These records are of much importance for investigating both long-term solar activities and extremely intense solar flares. In previous studies, they were recorded as “vapor,” “cloud,” or “light,” especially in oriental historical sources; however, the terminology was not discussed adequately and is still quit...

Track and cladistic biogeographic analyses based on insect taxa are used as a framework to interpret patterns of the Latin American and Caribbean entomofauna by identifying biogeographic areas on the basis of endemicity and arranging them hierarchically in a system of regions, subregions, dominions, and provinces. The Nearctic region, inhabited by Holarctic insect taxa, comprises five provinces...

Orthotrichia is the most species rich of hydroptilid genera found in Australia, and postulated to be a relatively recent arrival from Oriental Region. The genus has an almost worldwide but patchy distribution, represented by close 280 among which Australian fauna 55 represents around 20%. In attempt understand radiation this paper explores morphology biology discusses number contrasts with repo...

Note.?Single sores represent about 40 per cent of all cases. It is suggested that a single sore, naturally acquired, be allowed to run its course, if not on the face, and if protected from bites. The development of an active immunity from one infection with oriental sore is generally accepted. Inoculation with attenuated cultures of the parasite is being successfully carried out in some endemic...

Tina sore is known by different names in the Punjab and beyond the Indus, e.g., Delhi boil, Lahore sore, Multani sore ; in the Peshawar side of the frontier as Frontier sore, and in Sindh and Baluchistan as a Sindh sore. In the CYs-Indus Punjab, it is a well recognised and not uncommon sore, but its greatest prevalence is beyond the Indus. In Sindh and in Baluchistan it is exceedingly common. D...
