to conserve the genetic resources and identify the strong and weak points in sistan watermelon accessions and compare these with improved cultivars of: sugarbaby and fairfax, an experiment was carried out, based on rectangular lattic design of two replications in 2007. the morphological traits studied, included plant length, plant weight, seed weight, fruit number, fruit length, fruit width, su...

Photo-oxidative stress was imposed under natural solar radiation on exposed and shaded sections of detached fruit of immature green tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller = Solanum lycopersicum L.) mutants (anthocyanin absent, beta-carotene, Delta, and high pigment-1) and their nearly isogenic parents ('Ailsa Craig' and 'Rutgers'). After 5 h exposure to high solar irradiance, either with or wit...

to investigate the genotypic and phenotypic relationship between characteristics affecting tomato fruit weights, eleven tomato lines were compared in a rcb design with three replications. the anova showed that the difference among lines was significant for all characteristics. there was a significant phenotypic and genotypic correlations between fruit weight and most of the characteristics. the...

OBJECTIVES Several studies have demonstrated associations of birth weight with metabolic and reproductive abnormalities in adults. The aim of this study was to investigate the birth weight in women with PCOS and its correlation with clinical and biochemical characteristics of the syndrome. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied 288 women with PCOS according to the NIH criteria and 166 women with no...

Purpose: Despite numerous studies on the effects of complementary medicine, to our knowledge, there is no study on the effects of Capparis spinosa on disease regression in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. We compared the effects of caper fruit pickle consumption, as an Iranian traditional medicine product, on the anthropometric measures and biochemical parameters in different...

In this paper, we introduce generalized extended Hamming codes over Galois rings GR(2,m) of characteristic 2 with extension degree m. Furthermore we prove that the minimum Hamming weight of generalized extended Hamming codes over GR(2,m) is 4 and the minimum Lee weight of generalized extended Hamming codes over GR(8,m) is 6 for all m ≥ 3. ——————————————————————– ———Received May 25, 2011. This w...

A study was undertaken to analyses the heritability, correlation and path co-efficient for growth and fruit characters in twenty ber (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam) genotypes grown at Fruit Research Farm under Horticulture Research Centre, BARI during January to June 2006. The highest range of variation was recorded in fruit weight (6.63-44.72 g), followed by yield per plant (14.88 64.99 kg), stone w...

Lack of availability nutrients in the soil is one factors that affect production watermelon plants. Therefore, this study aims to determine effect best types compost from various biostarters on growth and yield The research was carried out agricultural land Bumi Beringin Village, Luwuk Utara District, Banggai Regency, July using experimental method (experiment). treatment factor a single factor...

This research aimed to analyse the effect of biopesticide and organic liquid fertilizer on weight and quality of apple. The study was carried out in Bumiaji, Batu, East Java (805'S, 11280'E, 1400 m in altitude) on July December 2013. The liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) was produced from water mixed with nitrogen source such as manure, urin, legume leaves, phosphoric powder and an energy sourc...

Aim: Study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of Punica granatum L. on Gentamicin-induced renal failure in rats. Materials and methods: Gr. I rats served as normal, received 0.5 ml of 5% Tween-80 in distilled water, Gr. II was injected with Gentamicin (100 mg/kg, IP), Gr. III was injected with Gentamicin and selenium (2 mg/kg, IP), and Gr. IV-IX were given orally Punica granatum fruit chloro...
