mycorrhizal symbiosis increase nutrient uptake and enhance plant growth by elaborating root system. the positive effects of mycorrhizal symbiosis on the growth, physiology and ecology of various plants have been recognized. the symbiotic relations between mycorrhizal fungi and date palm with regard to nutrient uptake by this plant have not yet been explored and studied in iran. this project was...

this study was conducted to investigate some moisture-dependent engineering properties of russian olive fruit including fruit dimensions, one thousand seed mass, surface area, sphericity, bulk and true density, angle of sliding and static friction coefficient against different surfaces. the physical properties of russian olive fruit were evaluated as a function of moisture content in the range ...

introduction althoughthere is a consensus that the economic burden of burn injury is high, but few studies have conducted about cost of burns injury among pediatric in developing countries. we explored the main factors influencing on hospital costs and length of stay (los) associated with pediatric burns injury in kermanshah, iran. methods and material we performed a review ofmedical records fr...

Municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) and/or fertigation used in greenhouse pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) cultivation with five different substrates with soil (S) and/or MSWC mixtures (0-5-10-20-40%) used with or without fertigation. Plants growth increased in 10-20% MSWC and fertigation enhanced mainly the plant height. Fruit number increased in S : MSWC 80 : 20 without fertilizer. Plant biomass ...

Limited-cluster production systems may be a useful strategy to increase crop production and profitability for the greenhouse tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill). In this study, using an ebb-and-flood hydroponics system, we modified plant architecture and spacing and determined the effects on fruit yield and harvest index at two light levels. Single-cluster plants pruned to allow two leaves ab...

Pear (Pyrus spp) is an important fruit crop, grown in all temperate regions of the world, with global production ranked after grape and apples among deciduous tree crops. A high-density linkage map is a valuable tool for fine mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) and map-based gene cloning. In this study, we firstly constructed a high-density linkage map of pear using SNPs integrated with SSRs,...

the current experiment was carried out to evaluate qualitative and quantitativeof three melons (cucumis melo gp. ameri) accssions named zardjalal, ananasi and khanoti. the experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with 16 treatments and three replications at research field of jahad-e-daneshgahi, campus of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran. five ...

in thirty-three wild cherry (prunus avium l.) accessions from central serbia, tree, leaf, fruit, and stone morphological characters were evaluated during three consecutive years. the goal was to detect relationships between the genotypes and to identify the most useful traits for discrimination among them. the study revealed a high variability in the set of the evaluated wild cherry accessions ...

eight strawberry cultivars (paros, queen elisa, pajaro, camarosa, gaviota, selva, mrak and kurdistan as local cultivar) were evaluated to select the best cultivar based on quantitative yield production in kurdistan province condition. an experiment was performed in a randomized complete block design with three replications during 2008- 2010 in grizeh research station (sanandaj). eleven morpholo...
