light weight wood base sandwich panels have some special properties and their most important properties is high mechanical strength with its light weight. these panels can replace instead of traditional structural systems in iran. the purpose of this paper is investigating the mechanical properties of light weight wood base sandwich panels that have made from sunflower stalk wastes and particle...

The most recent estimate of blackbird damage to ripening sunflower (Helianthus annuus) in North Dakota in 1980 exceeded $6 million. Although less than 5% of the sunflower fields in the state received greater than 10% damage in each of four past survey years, as much as 50% of the total state-wide damage occurred in these fields. This loss can be combated with cost-effective controlSuccessful co...

safflower is a strategic plant regarding to its valuable nutrition value (45% extractable oil) and industrial uses. due to massive import of edible oil to the country as well as high potential for safflower cultivation, the research on production of safflower for oil extrusion purpose is of remarkable importance. the design of various processing and oil extraction units and also their optimizat...

Plasmopara halstedii is an obligate biotrophic oomycete causing downy mildew disease on sunflower, Helianthus annuus, an economically important oil crop. Severe symptoms of the disease (e.g., plant dwarfism, leaf bleaching, sporulation and production of infertile flower) strongly impair seed yield. Pl resistance genes conferring resistance to specific P. halstedii pathotypes were located on sun...
