Temperature is a crucial factor in the development of oviparous organisms. Under natural conditions, the eggs of many species are subjected to changing thermal environments, but most laboratory studies have incubated eggs at constant temperatures. To evaluate the phenotypic effects of different thermal means and variances and to separate temperature effects from maternal effects, eggs from 10 c...

Platygastridae is a ʻdark taxonʼ, with many genera and species in dire need of professional attention. The taxonomic impediment especially severe the Palearctic Platygastrinae due to abundance names vague concepts. Historical descriptions their associated type material must be examined clarified before further revisionary work can occur. Arnold Förster described 18 Platygastridae, most which re...

the distribution of phytophthora parsiana a high-temperature tolerant newly described species was studied in southern iran and examined its host range in woody perennial plant species in greenhouse condition under high inoculum potential. among different plant species examined, almonds were highly susceptible by different isolates. from 24 woody plants inoculated, the disease severity in descen...

quercus persica and pistacia mutica are two known and prevalent forest trees of baneh and marivan from kurdistan province (w iran). thirty-five fungal isolates were obtained from 50 bark samples of q. persica collected in sept. and mar. 2010–11. the aim of this study was to identify fungi associated with oak trees of kurdistan province. based on morphological features and authentic keys (ellis ...

The aim of this research was evaluate the seedling behavior of among Pistacia species can be used as rootstock in pistachio. Differences in stem diameter were observed among the species. The thickest stems were developed by P. atlantica (5.67 mm), P. vera cv. ‘Qazvini’ (25.47mm) and ‘Badami-e-Riz-e-Zarand’ (5.13 mm) whereas the thinnest stems were measured in P. atlantica subsp. kurdica (3.48 m...

Milk production under grazing conditions is carried out in the intertropical region of hot climates due to its low cost. The Tropical Milking criollo breed (LT) characterized by hardiness this region, and high milk quality cheese yield. Grazing supplementation can increase production; however, it also change chemical composition. effect with commercial feed LT cows was evaluated concerning quan...
