To evaluate the effect of airborne dust on some physiological characteristics and yield of different wheat varieties, a field experiment was conducted at Research Farm of Razi University, Kermanshah, Iran in 2013. The evaluated treatments were washing and un-washing shoots of various wheat varieties including Pishgam, Zarin and Behrang. Measured traits were as relative water content (RWC), SPAD...

abstract the aim of the present study is to explore the impact of the cognitive reading strategy instruction on learners reading self-efficacy and their reading achievement. in order to fulfill this purpose, from 120 participants, 90 intermediate efl learners as an experimental group were chosen from three different educational settings namely, yazd university, yazd science and art un...

Golestan province is one of the major regions of wheat production in the country. Azospirillum brasilense، an Azotobacter، acted as resolvent of phosphate and a microorganisms for fixing molecular nitrogen for cooperating with other root crops and grasses in enhancing their growth and development. To investigate the effects of rhizobacteria on yield and yield components of wheat a  factorial ex...

nowadays, air pollution is a global problem that has had significant growth by technology development, population growth andindustrial development. industrial development brought natural resources deterioration, more manufacturing products, and more environmental pollutants. if pollutant won’t be controlled, human-being and wildlife will face the critical risks. significant release and critical...

In order to evaluate the effect of seed priming and inoculation of two mycorrhizal species on a number of physiological characteristics, yield and yield components of a wheat cultivar (Parsi) in salinity stress conditions, an experiment was conducted as a split-plot factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in the years 2014-15 and 2015-16 at Isfahan Jihad Tr...

In order to study changes in morphophysiological traits of wheat cultivars released from 1940 to 2000 in Iran and to determine the association of these traits with grain yield, an RCBD experiment was conducted with 15 wheat cultivars released during past 60 years in Arsanjan (Fars province) in 2006 and 2007. Results indicated that grain yield increased significantly during these 60 years (r=0.9...

the present study investigated construct equivalence of multiple choice (mc) and constructed response (cr) item types across stem and content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘a’), non-stem-equivalent but content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘b’), and non-stem and non-content equivalent mc and cr items (item type ‘c’). one hundred seventy english-major undergraduates completed mc ...

In order to investigate the effect of sugar plant effluent on shoot solute percentage, yield components and grain yield of two wheat cultivars, a two year field experiment was conducted on a farm near Eghlid sugar plant during 2004-2005. Treatments consisted of two wheat cultivars (Alamot and Zarin) and two irrigated treatment: irrigation with effluent and irrigation with spring water (control)...

abstract this study aimed at investigating the possible relationship between self-assessment in writing and self-regulation of iranian efl learners. the main purpose of the study was not only to report and inform about this relationship, but also to investigate and find practical outcomes of the incorporation of self-assessment in writing, such as improving writing skill. the research was carr...
