The effects of oral administration of linoleic- and gamma-linolenic-acid-rich oils on the clinical and histopathological manifestations of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) were investigated in Lewis rats 7 d post-inoculation. gamma-Linolenic-acid-rich fungal (Mucor javanicus) oil at 500 mg/kg body weight abrogated clinical and histological signs of EAE although at doses of 200 an...

Twenty-eight lines including 18 F1 plants, 9 parents, and one commercial were studied for estimation of genetic variability, heritability, advance at Agricultural Research Station, Kunaram. Analysis variance revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes all traits indicating presence a considerable amount variability yield its components, quality gall midge incidence. PCV values n...

to study the effects of used water in evapotranspiration, seed number per unit area and leaf relative water content on seed weight of canola (brassica napus l.), an experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design, arranged in a split-plot under two conditions, i.e. supplemental irrigation and rainfed in 2005-7. two cultivars of canola (‘hyola401’ and ‘rgs003’) as subplots were gr...

abstract in order to genetic investigation of drought resistance indices, on 25 maize inbred lines, an experiment was conducted under three irrigation regimes; normal irrigation, limited vegetative irrigation and limited reproductive irrigation. in the limited vegetative irrigation, tol (stress tolerance) index had the highest phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variation (83.83% and 68.04%...

this study was carried out to investigate the important characteristics in some cultivars/genotypes of persianwalnut (juglans regia l.), black walnut (j. nigra l.), and walnut inter-specific hybrids: paradox (j. hindsii × j.regia) and royal (j. hindsii × j. nigra) in kamalshahr research station in karaj in 2011-2012. in the study,vegetative vigor was evaluated based on trunk cross-sectional are...

the initial step in any breeding program including the breeding of walnut is an evaluation of the genetic diversity of its population and on identification of its superior and promising genotypes. this research was carried out during 2009-2010 growing seasons to evaluate the walnut genotypes, population grown in the vicinities of eghlid city, as one of the richest walnut population regions in t...

this study was conducted to evaluate genetic diversity of durum wheat cultivars using multivariate analyses on agronomic and morphological traits. thirty genotypes were planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2003. agronomic and morphological characteristics including days to flowering, days to pollination, days to maturity, plant height, spike length, grain wei...

Traits related to nitrogen fixation may be used as indirect selection criteria foraflatoxin resistance in peanut. The aim of this study was to investigate therelationship between N2 fixation traits and aflatoxin contamination in peanut underdifferent drought conditions. Eleven peanut genotypes were evaluated under threewater regimes for two seasons in the field. Data were observed on kernel inf...
