mechanisms of drought stress tolerance of gf677 rootstock, peach and almond hybrid, (prunus persica × prunus amygdalus) were studied under in vitro conditions. plantlets of gf677 rootstock were subcultured into the murashige and skoog (ms) solid proliferation medium containing 1 mg/l ba (6-benzyladenine) and 0.1 mg/l naa (naphthaline acetic acid) in four drought stress levels 0 (control), 10, 2...

this study was conducted to evaluate the responses of two greenhouse tomato cultivars to nutrient solutions' electrical conductivity (ec). two cluster type greenhouse tomato cultivars (razan and ergon) were grown in perlite in a glasshouse hydroponic system. the grown plants were daily fed with either constant ec nutrient solutions (ecs 2, 3 ds m-1) or nutrient solutions of alternatively c...

many of the meteorological variables such as precipitation, strongly depend on the large scale atmospheric and ocean surface circulations.in the current study, the effect of climatic signals on the average monthly rainfall of the adjacent stations of sheshdeh and gharebolagh area was investigated during the statistical period twenty five years from 1985 to 2009. the regression and neural networ...

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...

in order to study, the effect of pre-cooling treatment, osmotic potential and water stress on some population of two species of satureja bachtiarica and satureja sahendica was studied by a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications in laboratory and greenhouse conditions during one year in the gene bank of institute of forests and range lands by the years...

assessment of soil quality is one of the most useful tools for evaluation the soil management condition and different land uses. quantity indices of soil quality are most suitable methods for determination and comparison of soils quality. in this study soil quality indices and selection methods of effective soil properties were compared for evaluating the soil quality in different land uses. se...

diabetes is a metabolic disorder specified by hyperglycemia following a defect in insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of high-intensity interval training (hiit) on serum adiponectin levels and insulin resistance of women with type 2 diabetes. for this purpose, 35 overweight women with type 2 diabetes (age range 45-60 years, bmi 25-30 kg...

drain envelopes play significant roles in the performance of drainage systems due to theirreduction in letting sediments into the drainpipes and also because of an increase in thehydraulic conductivity of soil around the drainpipes. throughout the present research, theeffect of a one 1000 hour flow on dual envelopes consisting of geotextile as a means ofimproving the hydraulic gradient and rice...

introduction growing use of hydrocarbon constituents in various industries have generated significant quantities of hazardous wastes which lead to environmental pollution. in recent years, the strong global demands for fossil fuels and industrial chemicals have resulted in the release of some of these compounds into soil, water and air.hydrocarbon-contaminated soils are among the important envi...

introductionurban quality of life is not a simple term that has a clear or an agreed definition but is a complex concept which might be defined by various theories. the term urban quality of life is not used to describe some physical features but to describe all the relationship, the dynamics, and the reticular relationship that exist between those physical features. there fore, the definition ...
