in order to estimate heritability and gene action for grain yield and its related traits in lentil, six basic generations were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in a field experiment. besides seed yield per plant, plant height, pod length, and 100-seed weight, the number of pods per plant, primary branches, clusters per plant, nodes per main stem, secondary...

background: the relaxant and anticholinergic (functional antagonism) effects, histamine h 1 inhibitory effect, and calcium channel blocking effect of nigella sativa have been demonstrated on guinea pig tracheal chains.  several therapeutic effects including anti-asthma and dyspnea have also been ascribed to the seeds of nigella sativa.   objective: to evaluate the antitussive effect of this pla...

To evaluate the effect of nitrogen fertilizer amounts on grain yield of forage corn in 2012, a pilot was implemented in Islamic Azad University Agricultural Research Station, Isfahan, as a split plot in a randomized complete block design. Main plots consisted of four levels: control (no fertilization ) , 50 , 100 and 150 kg per ha nitrogen from urea source and subplots , including several varie...

the mode of agronomic traits inheritance was investigated in safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) in drought stress as a new report. five generation including p1, p2, f1, f2 and f3 that derived from the cross of il.111 (drought sensitive) ×mex.22-191 (drought tolerance) were used in a randomized complete block design with two replications. generation mean analysis was used to estimate genetic pa...

OBJECTIVE The purpose was to monitor implanted seeds and to determine factors contributing to seed migration after permanent prostate brachytherapy. METHODS Sixty-two consecutive patients with Stage 1 prostate cancer who underwent brachytherapy with (125)I seeds between February 2008 and May 2009 were studied prospectively. On post-operative days 1, 7 and 30, scintigraphy was added to convent...

Bell peppers grown in greenhouses in the Mediterranean region are frequently subjected to high temperatures in summer and low temperatures in winter. The present experiment was designed to quantify the effect of season on pepper fruit growth, maturation and ripening. Three bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivars (Yolo Wonder, California Wonder and E84066) were cultivated in an unheated ...

in order to investigate the effects of on-farm seed priming and sowing dates on seedling emergence, yield and yield components of a local genotype bean called pach baghala-red strain (phaseolous vulgaris l.) as a double crop after rice, an experiment carried out in the rice research institute of rasht. experimental design was laid out in a split plot based on a randomized complete block with th...

in order to evaluate the effects of different organic and chemical fertilizers on yield, yield components and seed oil content of sesame an experiment was conducted in a split plot layout based on randomized complete block design with four replications at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad in year 2006. four types of fertilizer, including chemical fertilize...

a greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the competitive effects of different densities of wild mustardas against rapeseed. the experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with four replicationsusing replacement series in which wild mustard and rapeseed were respectively planted in different ratios of 4:0, 3:1,2:2, 1:3 and 0:4 plants per pot. results indicated that t...
