hazelnut (corylus avellna l.) is one of the important nut crops in world. the harvesting ofhazelnuts is done either by hand or by manual or mechanical raking of fallen nuts in iran.common hazel is widely cultivated for its nuts, including in commercial orchards in europe,turkey, and iran. there are some genotypes of hazelnut in iran that their growing areas arelimited to gillan, aredbil, mazand...

Background: A pot experiment was conducted to determine the toxic effects of some heavy metals on the plant growth and seed yield of maize (Zea mays L.). Materials and Metheds: Heavy metals Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr and Co individually and in combinations were added as chloride salts in solutions to the pots before sowing. The test plants for were harvested after 80 days of germination and evaluated f...

Sorghum grain is the principal raw material for Baijiu production, but effects of and wort composition on fermentation performance are unclear. Ethanol production at laboratory scale using grains 11 commercial sorghum cultivars from a field trial was investigated dry grind fermentation. Initial glucose content 141–150 g/L fermentability (glucose-to-ethanol conversion rate) 87–90%. rate among ge...

The postmicrosomal protein fraction obtained from distal stumps of rat sciatic nerves at 0-6 days following transection were investigated by means of one- and two-dimensional electrophoresis. In all experimental groups, total amount of protein was significantly higher than in the control group. Proteins were resolved into 27 bands after SDS-PAGE. Their molecular weights ranged between 16.2 and ...

We examined the internal morphology, location of protein, and identity and location of elements, in avian urate-containing spheres in 9 species of birds. The urine spheres were collected from voided samples. The spheres ranged in size from 0.5-5.0 microm, except in the domestic fowl, where they ranged up to 10 microm in diameter. The internal morphology of the spheres was examined using freeze-...

Background & Aims of the Study: High concentration of toxic metals in foodstuffs is among the public interest and therefore requires rapid methods to survey the concentration of these contaminants. In the present study, concentration of some heavy metals (lead, copper and arsenic) in Cydonia fruits from Hamadan city market were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. ...

Multi-nutrient mixes with different combinations of cereals, millets, pulses, soy protein isolate and dairy whitener were formulated as per the nutritional requirements of school-going children. Effect of malted finger-millet or sprouted green gram present in the mixes on the nutritional and functional properties were studied and compared with their un-sprouted counterparts. On sprouting the Wa...

An experiment was conducted to study wheat grain protein increasing through foliar application of Nitrogen afterflowering. The RCBD design was analysed with three replications and four N-treatments as foliar application as(N0=0, N1=4kg.ha-1 Urea, N2=8kg.ha-1 Urea, N3=4kg.ha-1 Ammonium Sulfate). Results showed that seed proteincontent increased significantly by foliar application of Nitrogen. Da...

Nine multiparous lactating cows averaging 171 days in milk were divided according to days in milk and milk production into three 3×3 Latin squares with three 3-week periods to investigate the effect of rumen degradable protein on milk urea nitrogen. Diets were formulated to provide 3 concentrations of dietary rumen degradable protein (9.8, 10.8, and 11.8% of dry matter), while rumen undegradabl...
