abstract salinity stress is among the major barriers to plant production in many parts of the world, especially in arid and semi-arid areas. jasmonates are one of the newest plant growth regulators that reduce the damages caused by environmental stresses. in this study, the effects of salinity and methyl jasmonate on some morphological traits of chamomile including root and shoot lengths, fresh...

This paper describes the first attempt to evaluate morphological analysers for Portuguese with an evaluation contest. It emphasizes the options that had to be taken and that highlight considerable disagreement among the participating groups. It describes the trial intended to prepare the real contest in June 2003, its goals and preliminary results.

In this paper, we make a comparative study on morphological skeletonization (MSK) and fuzzy medial axis transformation (FMAT). Methods have been proposed to construct convex FMAT from the morphological skeleton points and to translate FMAT to MSK, respectively. For the case of translating MSK to convex FMAT, the experimental results reveal that the combination of the proposed method and the red...

The issue of this paper is to present the advantages of a morphological tagging of English in order to resolve morphological ambiguities. Such a way of tagging seems to be more efficient because it allows an intention description of morphological forms compared with the extensive collection of usual dictionaries. This method has already been experimented on French and has given promising result...

Mathematical Morphology arose in 1964 by the work of George Matheron and Jean Serra, who developed its main concepts and tools. It uses concepts from algebra and geometry. (Set theory, complete lattice theory, convexity etc,). The notion of adjunction is very fundamental in Mathematical Morphology. Morphological systems is a broad class of nonlinear signal operators that have found many applica...

seedless barberry (berberis vulgaris l. var. asperma) is one of the few crops that is only cultivated in eastern parts of iran. as a new crop there has not been any study to identify phylogenetic relationships of this plant with other related species existing in iran. in this study, amplification fragment length polymorphism (aflp) markers based on four selected primer combinations (ecori/tru1i...

30 milled rice samples were collected from retailers in four states of malaysia. these samples were evaluated for eurotium spp. contaminations by direct plating on malt extract salt agar (mesa). all eurotium were isolated and identified based on morphology and nucleotide sequences of internal transcribed spacer 1 (its1) and its2 of the rdna. four eurotium species (e. rubrum, e. amstelodami, e. ...

abstract in order to study the effect of different water potential on anethum graveolens two experiments were conducted for germination and vegetative stages. this study was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. in the first experiment, response of dill seeds germination to levels of drought stress including to drought potentials ze...

eleven goat breeds of different origin (10 spanish and 1 african) were considered for this study: zambian dwarf, azpi-gorri, blanca-andaluza, blanca-celtibérica, blanca de rasquera, catalana, malagueña, moncaína, murciano-granadina, negra serrana and pyrenean. nine linear body measurements for females, as well as the body weight ratio between gender and body weight, were obtained from literatur...
