background: summer savory (satureja hortensis l.) is one of the most important medicinal and spice plants cultivated in many parts of the world. objective: a greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of feso4 and citric acid application on the morphological traits and essential oil content and its component, gamma-terpinene in s. hortensis. methods: feso4 in four levels (0, 3, 4 ...

Predation is thought to be one of the main structuring forces in animal communities. However, selective predation is often measured on isolated traits in response to a single predatory species, but only rarely are selective forces on several traits quantified or even compared between different predators naturally occurring in the same system. In the present study, we therefore measured behavior...

exiting diversity is the basis of selection in plant breeding programs. diversity in morphological traits is studied by different methods of multivariate analysis. this study was conducted to estimate the genetical diversity of new corn hybrids based on the morphological traits. in this study, 40 new grain and forage corn hybrids with five commercial varieties as control treatments were planted...

Centella asiatica is one of the popular herbs used for inflammatory and neural conditions. Its differentiation from similar species is currently lacking. The aims of this study were to differentiate the three closely related Centella species using methods based on morphological characters, genetic biodiversity, phytochemical compositions and antioxidant activities. According to the morphologica...

.in order to investigate the effects of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and nitrogen fertilizer on morphological traits of german chamomile (matricaria chamomilla l.), a field experiment was carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of the faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran, during 2007-2008. factors were ino...

Rapid exploratory field survey, to identify indigenous chicken ecotypes was conducted in north Gondar zone of Ethiopia. Chicken ecotypes including Necked neck, Gasgie and Gugut from Quara, Alefa and Tache Armacheho districts were identified, respectively. Morphological variations among the three study populations and nine measurable traits were evaluated. General linear model, canonical discrim...
