Thirty six wheat genotypes derived from diallel crosses from F1 to F3 and their parents were evaluated in six different environments for the stability of performance. Performance was measured by seed yield per plant under drought and non-drought stress conditions. The experiment was conducted as a randomised complete block design with three replications in over one year. Additive main effects a...

Background and Objectives: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is the causative agent of gastroenteritis due to consumption of contaminated seafood. The aim of the present study was to determine the chemical composition of Essential Oils (EOs) of five plants (Artemisia absinthium, Zataria multiflora Boiss., Pulicaria gnaphalodes, Trachyspermum ammi and Cuminum cyminum) and to evaluate their antimicrobial a...

Assessing the tolerance of medicinal plants is important for planting them in drought areas. Arginine is a growth regulator and its role in plants’ tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought has been investigated. To evaluate the protective effects of arginine against osmotic stress induced by polyethylene glycol in ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi) seedlings, an experiment was conducted as ...

Background: Trachyspermum ammi is one of the prominent plant in traditional medicine of the east with several medicinal effects such as improvement of stomach disease, digestive disorder, diarrhea, hemorrhoid, bladder stones, respiratory disease and etc. Medicinal plants is one of the important reason of toxicity particularly in children and the elderly therefore, evaluation of the toxic effect...

When you are faced with analyzing two-way cross-classified experiments, you are almost always interested in whether the two factors interact or not, and if they do interact, combinations of the two factors are responsible for the interaction in the data. When there are no independent replications, there are no traditional tests for interaction. SAS® macros have been developed to provide user-fr...
