Genetic diversity within key species can play an important role in the functioning of entire communities. However, the extent to which different dimensions of diversity (e.g., the number of genotypes vs. the extent of genetic differentiation among those genotypes) best predicts functioning is unknown and may yield clues into the different mechanisms underlying diversity effects. We explicitly t...

Advances in functional materials for energy conversion and storage technologies are crucial in addressing the global challenge of green sustainable energy. This article aims to demonstrate the valuable role that modern modelling techniques now play in providing deeper fundamental insight into novel materials for rechargeable lithium batteries and solid oxide fuel cells. Recent work is illustrat...

purpose:this article aims to investigate the relationship between the personality characteristics of the librarians who are working in the libraries of birjand universities and their attitudes toward entrepreneurship in libraries (2014). methodology: in this descriptive-analytic study which was of the correlation type, all the librarians who were working in the libraries of birjand universities...

The cultivated apple (Malus domestica) is one of the most important fruit crops cultivated in different regions of the world including Iran. For production and breeding of high quality apple, the knowledge of genetic diversity of the cultivated apples  is  necessary. Therefore we studied genetic diversity of 25 genotypes by using ISSR molecular markers. In present study, ten ISSR primers produc...

sever coldness causes damage to the wheat and affect its growth and yield, thereby this experiment was conducted in controlled conditions to investigate freezing tolerance of 29 wheat genotypes. acclimation treatments (in two levels: acclimation and non-acclimation) were considered in the main plot and combination of temperature (0, -4, -8, -12, -16 ◦c) and genotypes as sub plot. survival perce...

water deficit stress is the most important environmental constraint for growth, yield and productivity of crops, including the oil seed crops. this study was aimed at studying the influence of differing irrigation régimes on growth, chlorophyll , proline and some antioxidants content along with grain yield, yield components and oil content of sesame genotypes using a 4-replicate split plot rand...

to study the effects of irrigation interval and nitrogen level on yield and yield components of fenugreek medicinal plant, an experiment in split plot arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications conducted at the azad university of birjand in 2009. treatments included; irrigation intervals (4, 8 and 12 day) as main plot and nitrogen fertilizer (none fertilizer, 50, 100 a...

The work analyzed the effect of two types low-input farming conditions on yield components and bioactive compounds in pulp peel tomato fruits. first (LI) system involved application cow manure manual weed control; second (LIMI), same was integrated with mulching (the wood chips eucalyptus) intercropping (basil cabbage plants). study included line 392, harboring hp-2 gene that increases pigments...
