effect of foliar spraying by humic acid on mineral leaf composition, yield and fruit quality of apple (malus domestica l. cv. ‘granny smith’) was studied. an experiment based on randomized complete design was conducted in khorramdare city of zanjan province. spraying of humic acid was conducted in four levels 0, 5, 10 and 15 mg/l on eight year-old ‘granny smith’ apples grafted on mm106 rootstoc...

background: as we all know, sperm has the capacity to take up foreign dna, therefore, sperm mediated gen transfer can be an inexpensive and simple method in animal transgenesis in various species. however, there is not sufficient evidence of dna uptake by ovine spermatozoa. objectives: the purpose of the present study was to examine the uptake of human lysozyme gene contained plasmid (pegfp-ire...

in order to evaluation of the relationship among protein markers and traits such as proline content variation, quantum efficiency of photosystem ii and field viability index, 20 genotypes of barely were studied in a randomized complete block design in the greenhouse experiment. plants were transferred to springhouse at the four leaf stage and were located at the temperature of 4°c for three wee...

to evaluate the effects of pgpr foliar spraying on forage and grain yield of forage sorghum (var. speedfeed), a farm experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture, university of tehran in 2009. the experimental design consisted of a randomized complete blocks consisting of 17 treatments in every block. in this research, the effect of foliar application of 16 different stra...

the effect of levels of nitrogen on growth and nitrogen uptake patterns and grain protein quality of grain sorghum was investigated by two experiments which were conducted at pakdasht-tehran in 2003. in a completely randomized design with three replications, grain sorghum (sorghum bicolor (l.) moench) hybrid h-726 was grown under greenhouse conditions using water culture technique. the first ex...

some adipocytokines are cardioprotective or pro-inflammatory for cardiovascular system. chronic infection with chlamydia pneumoniae and helicobacter pylori has been also considered as novel risk factors for atherosclerosis. the main aim of the current population-based study is to investigate the potential link between circulating adipocytokines and chlamydia pneumoniae or helicobacter pylori ig...

finger vein is one of the most fitting biometric for identifying individuals. in this paper a new method for finger vein recognition is proposed. first the veins are extracted from finger vein images by using entropy based thresholding. in finger vein images the veins are appeared as dark lines. the method extracts veins as well, but the images are noisy, that means in addition to the veins the...

with the aim to examine lead tolerance of populus nigra (clone 62/154) in symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, a greenhouse experiment was carried out in a factorial randomized complete scheme with two factors 1) fungal inoculation in 4 levels (control, inoculation with glomus mosseae, inoculation with g. intraradices and inoculation with g. mosseae + g. intraradices) and 2) lead in 4 l...
