to determine the effect of seed size of sugar beet cultivars on germination and seedling vigor, a study was conducted as a 4×6 factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with 4 replications at seed and plant certification and registration institute, karaj in 2013. the treatments were toucan, dorotea, rasta, sharif, pars, and torbat cultivars and four seed width sizes including 2...

Globally, seagrass beds have been recognized as critical yet declining coastal habitats. To mitigate seagrass losses, seagrass restorations have been conducted in worldwide over the past two decades. Seed utilization is considered to be an important approach in seagrass restoration efforts. In this study, we investigated the effects of salinity and temperature on seed germination, seedling esta...

in the present study resistance of some elite lines of wheat at seedling stage were evaluated in cereal rusts greenhouse at seed and plant improvement institute in karaj and at adult plant stage in ahvaz under artificial inoculation with an isolate of leaf rust from ahvaz. for seedling resistance, different components of resistance were measured. the results showed that lines m-85-1, m-86-1 and...

Salinity is one of the most important limitation factors in development of agricultural products. Cotton has a relative tolerance to salinity; however, salinity reduces its growth during germination and seedling stages. In this research, split-factorial design of time based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications was used. The real-time PCR results for, root, stem, and leaves of...

Background: Contamination of work surfaces by used laryngoscopes after endotracheal intubation is a serious infection control concern but no strategies are available to address it. We assessed if contamination the would be reduced when providers dedicated, self-erected, disposable plastic sleeve (BladePouch) store laryngoscope as compared using single gloves or double and sheathing with outer g...
