ABSTRACT- To investigate the effect of draught stress on water relations, stomatal density, chlorophyll content and yield of rapeseed, an experiment was done with four levels of drought stress including L1 (Field Capacity, FC), L2 (70% Available Water Content, AWC), L3 (50% AWC), and L4 (30% AWC), within three growth stages- including stem elongation (T1), onset of flowering (T2) and silique fo...

background: the expression of mouse tumor necrosis factor alpha (tnf-α) in escherichia coli is a favorable way to get high yield of protein; however, the formation of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, which is the consequence of insoluble accumulated proteins, is a major obstacle in this system. to overcome this obstacle, we used a pulsed dilution method to convert the product to its native conform...

the present study was conducted to estimate genetic parameters and genetic, environmental and phenotypic trends of milk production traits in holstein cattle of hamedan province. in this study 11986 305-d records of first three parities of hamedan province holstein cattle, which were gathered during 1990-2011, were used. variance-covariance components and breeding values were estimated using ani...

BACKGROUND: Overuse of fertilizers can lead to groundwater contamination, depletion of soil microorganisms and beneficial insects, increased crop susceptibility to diseases, acidification or alkalization of soil, damage to soil structure, reduced organic matter and soil fertility. Therefore, for achieve sustainable agricultural, it is necessary to reduce the consumption of conv...

Much effort has been devoted to the synthesis of gold nanoparticles with different shapes, including the zero-dimensional nanospheres, one dimensional nanorods, and two-dimensional nanoplates. Compared to zero or one dimensional nanostructures, the synthesis of two-dimensional nanostructures in high yield has always been more involved, often requiring complex and timeconsuming steps such as mor...

background and objectives: drought stress is one of the most important environmental factors reducing growth and yield of crops, especially in arid and semiarid regions of the world. during drought stress, nutrient uptake diminishes due to rising of solute concentrations and so increasing of osmotic potential in the root zone. with increasing soil ph, micronutrient uptake decreases more than ot...
