Sesame is one of the plants that due to the high content (47-52%) and high quality (low cholesterol and some antioxidants) its seed oil, important role has in human health. An experimental with objective to evaluate eight local landraces of sesame to drought stress based on grain yield and drought tolerance indices using factorial split plot design was conducted with three replications in resea...

A field experiment was carried out during the 2013-2014 growing season in Lorestan Province (Iran) to evaluate the effect of three planting densities (30, 55, and 83 plant.m-2) on growth indices and grain yield of four chickpea cultivars (Azad, Hashem, Arman and ILC482) under the fall dry land farming condition. The experiment design was factorial based on a randomized complete block design (RC...

the main purpose of this study was to investigate any relationship between high school efl teachers metaphorical understandings of their role in class and their self-efficacy beliefs. teachers metaphors were elicited through two different prompts: one picturing what they believed a language teacher should be like in class, and the other demonstrating what they are actually like in class; such...

Wheat is the most important cereal crop in the world as well as in Iran. The studies related to the effects of global climate change on wheat production usually assess the impact of changes in atmospheric CO2 concentration and temperature on growth and yield. On the other hand, nitrogen is the most crucial plant nutrient for crop production and the proper management and improving the utilizatio...

  In order to develop a high yielding rice cultivar with optimum cooking quality, a cross was conducted between two rice cultivars Khazar, high yielding and resistant to blast disease and Daylamani Tarom, with good cooking quality in 1990. Forty pure lines were selected and compared for high grain yield in 1996. Ten selected lines together with two check cultivars Dasht and Onda were tested in ...

abstract the variables affecting the nature of reading comprehension can be classified into two general categories: reader’s variables, and text variables (alderson, 2000). despite the wave of research on vocabulary knowledge as reader’s variable, the role of this knowledge in c-test as a text-dependent test and its interaction with lexical cohesion of the test as a text feature has remained a...

   Due to its wide adaptability, chickpea is considered as an important crop in arid, semi-arid and in marginal lands. Most important factors which limit yield of chickpea are short length of physiological growth period and susceptibility to cold and diseases, especially Ascochyta rabie. Releasing a chickpea cultivar with high yield and good characteristics such as cold tolerance, resistance to...
