In order to study the effect of phosphate solubilization microorganisms (PSM) and plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on yield and yield components of corn Zea mays (L. cv. SC604) an experiment was conducted at research farm of Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University, Iran during 2007. Experiment laid out as split plot based on randomized complete block design with t...

The addition of 4 eq of chloral to osmundalactone (4S,5R)-4 gave quantitative formation of the hemiacetal derivative (4S,5R)-8, which was treated with methane sulfonic acid to afford the intramolecular Micheal addition product (+)-(3S,4S,5R)-9 possessing a 3,4-cis-dihydroxy-δ-lactone in 78% overall yield from (4S,5R)-4. The obtained (+)-(3S,4S,5R)-9 was subsequently converted to methyl D-digito...

Greenhouse and field studies were conducted to investigate response of two rice varieties, Priscilla and Cocodrie, to sub-lethal rates of glyphosate in terms of injury, shikimate accumulation and yield. In the greenhouse, more shikimate accumulated in Cocodrie than Priscilla at comparable glyphosate rates applied to plants at the three-leaf stage. In field studies, glyphosate was applied to bot...

Introduction Determination of cerebral lactate is the focus of many MR studies. Lactate is the end-product of anaerobic glycolysis and is produced and used during bacterial and/or macrophages infiltration, and its contents may vary during normal physiological conditions from 0.5 to 5.0 mM, and even higher in pathological states. Clinical applications lie in the field of ischemia, tumor research...

Addition of biotin to culture medium NL-406 significantly increased alkaloid yield during submerged cultivation of Claviceps sp. strain SD-58. Alkaloid yield was further enhanced by incorporating leucine in biotin-supplemented culture medium. Increased alkaloid production was associated with an increase in the lipid content of cells and in the number of chlamydospores. Biotin deficiency caused ...

Rice (Oryza sativa) is the primary food source for more than one-half of the world's population. Because rice cultivation is dependent on water availability, drought during flowering severely affects grain yield. Here, we show that the function of a drought-inducible receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, named GROWTH UNDER DROUGHT KINASE (GUDK), is required for grain yield under drought and well-wa...

Performance of Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) was evaluated on twelve transplanting dates that were arranged at 30 days interval; during 2013-2014 on experimental field of Wondo Genet agricultural research center; using RCBD design with three replications. Transplanting time exerted a very highly significant (p<0.0001) influence on plant height, flower yield and essential oil yield; essen...

The synthetic route in this work is based on the classical Friedel-Crafts strategy, and began with 1,4-dimethoxybenzene (I), followed by alkylation and selective demethylation of 2-methoxy function in 0x0-acid (3). The orthoformylation to synthesize aldehyde (6) was based on the Reimer-Tieman reaction. Chain extension of this aldehyde required methylation of the hydroxyl group and condensat...

in order to investigate the effective factors on the reduction of rain-fed wheat yield, an experiment in 45 fields was conducted in the township of bandar-gaz in 2012. in this research, all information such as crop management operations, seedbed preparation, cultivar, site preparation, seed sowing, weed combating, planting and harvesting issues, time of toxicant spraying, used seed rate were co...

terminal heat stress is the most widespread heat stress in the world. in order to evaluate the effect of heat stress on yield, yield component, and mopho-phenological traits of barley, 10 barley genotypes including the 2-row genotypes: mahour, khoram, nimrooz, abidar and 6-row genotypes: yousef, rihan 03, izeh, zahak, nosrat, jonoub were tested under normal (optimum sowing date) and heat stress...
