abstract east azarbaijan province is one of the most important areas for poplar production and has the highest suitability of poplar plantation in iran. three species of poplar trees included populus alba, p. nigra and p. x. euramericana are planted and usually attacked by different pests in this province. melasoma populi l., archips rosana (l.) and pemphigus filaginis are some of important pes...

plantation of fast-growing species such as poplar is one of the important methods for wood production in the countries with low natural forest areas. physiological differences of populus deltoides clones planted through three decades in shast kalate research forest are unknown. peroxidase enzyme in this research was used for clone separation as a biochemical marker that is sensitive to environm...

tempranillo is one of the most widely cultivated grapevine varieties in spain. after several years of clone selection, some highly recommended old clones have been identified in terms of both their qualitative and production characteristics. this study was designed to discriminate among 28 ancient clones of the cultivar tempranillo (vitis vinifera). dna samples from clones were analysed using t...

Genetic diversity among plants sprouted from seven year old clones of mulberry (Morus indica var. S36) was studied using molecular markers such as ISSR and RAPD. The clones showed significant variability in sex expression and the sprouting behavior. These changes were appeared after seven years of rigorous pruning and training (pruned once in every 3-4months). Genetic diversity analysis reveale...

In a recent paper, De Baets et al. have characterized the fuzzytolerance and fuzzy equivalence relations that a given strict order relation iscompatible with. In this paper, we generalize this characterization by consideringan arbitrary (crisp) relation instead of a strict order relation, while payingattention to the particular cases of a reflexive or irreflexive relation. The reasoninglargely ...

to improve commercial grapevine cultivars, it is necessary to apply such methods that by cultivation of a certain number of vines in a certain area, higher yield could be harvested. to achieve such a goal, healthy stocks with resistant to pests and diseases, high fructification and high quality of vines are needed. all these properties can be obtained successfully through clonal selection. viti...

considering the rich diversity of grape germplasm of iran, the severe cold winter occurred in 2007, provided a chance to evaluate responses of selected superior clones of iranian seedless grape ciltivars to cold in natural and artificial (in freezer) conditions. four one-year old branches per plant in each clone were selected and number of healthy and damaged sprouts were counted. based on cold...
