in order to study the effect of planting date on phonological stages and quantity traits of four cultivars of winter rapeseed, an experiment was carried out in 2008-2009 at the research field of agriculture research station of boyerahmad. the experiment was carried out in using factorial with randomized complete block design and four replications. four planting dates (september 12, september 22...

DNA methylation as epigenetic mark plays a key role in normal differential and developmental processes as well as in dynamic gene regulation at the genomic level. To assess DNA methylation pattern in different developmental stages of Aeluropus littoralis, methylation sensitive amplified polymorphism (MSAP) was used. Methylation and demethylation status at the CCGG recognition site were...

Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient and a key structural component of macromolecules in plants. N nutrients and metabolites can act as signals that impact on many aspects of plant biology. The plant life cycle involves a series of developmental phase transitions that must be tightly coordinated to external and internal cues in order to ensure plant survival and reproduction. N availabili...

BACKGROUND The plant cell walls play an important role in somatic embryogenesis and plant development. Pectins are major chemical components of primary cell walls while homogalacturonan (HG) is the most abundant pectin polysaccharide. Developmental regulation of HG methyl-esterification degree is important for cell adhesion, division and expansion, and in general for proper organ and plant deve...

Biochemical and molecular analysis of some antioxidant enzyme genes revealed different level of gene expression on oilseed (Brassica napus). For molecular and biochemical analysis, leaf tissues were harvested from plants at eight different developmental stages, from young to senescence. The levels of total protein and chlorophyll were increased during maturity stages of plant, while these were ...

introdouction: age estimation is an important issue in forensics, particularly for treatment planning and determining patients’ rights. radiographic evaluation of the third molar developmental stage is a significant criterion for age estimation. the pattern of tooth development is largely heritable and varies from race to race. the objective of this study was to radiographically examine and com...
