Extended Abstract Introduction and Objective: Due to the lack of micronutrient elements and the urgent need for biofortification in important and strategic plants in the nutrition of human society such as wheat, it is necessary to evaluate any strategy to optimize the quality and production of this product. This has led researchers to investigate the effect of foliar application of zinc and ir...

Quantifying genotype × environment interaction effect and yield stability under different environmental conditions is very important challenge in plant breeding programs. The aim of this study was to quantify genotype × environment interaction effect on grain yield and grain yield stability of barley promising lines in temperate regions of Iran. Nineteen promising barley lines (G1-G19) along wi...

the present study has tried to accomplish an analysis of margaret atwood’s novels oryx and crake, and the year of the flood in the light of posthuman and cyborg theories. considering posthumanism as a critical reading of some notions of humanism focus of which in this thesis has been identity, new definitions for humanity and human identity are formed. haraway’s cyborg, as one possible new figu...

In order to assess the effect of salinity on root traits and yield of two wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted in Agricultural, Medical and Industrial Research School, Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute, Karaj, Iran, using factorial experiment based on complete randomized design with 3 replications. The first factor included sensitive wheat cv. (Tajan) and tolerant cv. (B...

In order to evaluate effect of plant density and water deficit on the growth, yield and yield component of soybean, an experiment was carried out in split plot design based on RCBD with four replications at the research station of Seed and Plant Improvement Institute in Karaj-Iran in 2006. In this experiment, water deficit treatment in three levels was placed as main plot (water withholding at ...

To study the effects of planting date and density on yield and its components in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes under dryland conditions of Khorram-Abad, an experiment was conducted during 2005-2006 growing season at the Agricultural Research Station of Lorestan Weather Department. Three sowing dates (March 6, March 21, and April 5) and two chickpea genotypes (Greet and Flip 93-93) wit...
