buprestid beetles are one of the important components of the biodiversity of forest ecosystem in kurdistan province. different characteristics of biodiversity of buprestid beetles were studied by use of window trap, colored pan and colored sticky trap in these forests during 2009 and 2010. a total of 1205 specimens of 44 species were caught by use of considered traps during appearance of adults...

Summary The tRNA Adaptation Index (tAI) is a tRNA-centric measure of translation efficiency which includes weights that take into account the efficiencies of the different wobble interactions. To enable the calculation of the index based on a species-specific inference of these weights, we created the stAI calc . The calculator includes optimized tAI weights for 100 species from the three domai...

to evaluate the effect of water stress on yield and water use efficiency (wue) of lallemantia sp, an experiment was conducted as split plot factorial in randomized complete block design with three replications in the field of medicinal plants research center of shahed university, tehran in 1390-91. the first factor was irrigation system including 40 and 60 percent depletion of available soil wa...

In order to study the effects of salinity stress on growth indices of three clover species including, Trifolium resupinatum, T. alexandrinum, and T. incarnatum, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on a completely randomized design arrangement with three replications. Factors included seven levels of salinity stress (0, 41, 82, 123, 164, 205, and 246 mM) and three clover species. Diff...
