—Many studies have examined seed removal by rodents without regard to possible biases from inadvertent olfactory cues left by the researcher. I compared removal rates of seeds that had direct contact with human skin (scent treatment) with those that had no direct contact (no-scent treatment). Seeds of two species were alternated at 5 m intervals along a straight transect in a native grassland i...

To investigate the influence of salinity and calcium (Ca) on some properties of Plantago ovata, a pot factorialexperiment based on randomized complete block design with three replicates was conducted in Jiroft, south of KermanProvince, Iran. Three salinity levels of 0, 100 and 200 mM NaCl and Ca levels of 0, 5 and 10 mM Calcium nitrate wereapplied as the first and second factors, respectively. ...

The effects of salt stress and auxin on germination factors of three wheat cultivars viz. Sepahan, c-84-8, and c-83-1 were studied under controlled conditions. Germination was assessed using three replicates of 25 seeds in a factorial lay out in Completely Randomized Design (CRD) testing combinations of three levels of salinity (0, 4, and 8 dSm-1 NaCl) and three levels of auxin (0, 0.5, and 1 p...

Intra-operative guidance in Transrectal Ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate brachytherapy requires localization of inserted radioactive seeds relative to the prostate. Seeds were reconstructed using a typical C-arm, and exported to a commercial brachytherapy system for dosimetry analysis. Technical obstacles for 3D reconstruction on a non-isocentric C-arm included pose-dependent C-arm calibration...

effects of five seeding rates (350, 425, 500, 575 and 650 seeds per m2) on four wheat cultivars (kavir, mahdavi, shiraz and roshan) were studied under salinity stress, during 2000-2001 crop seasons in roodasht agricultural research station, esfahan. a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was used. plants were irrigated with saline water (with ec...

OBJECTIVES To assess the incidence and clinical parameters that could influence migration of seeds in localized prostate cancer patients treated by stranded versus loose sources by Iodine-125 brachytherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS 100 patients were treated from January/1998 until December/2006. Age, PSA, clinical stage, Gleason, prostate volume, number of seeds, activity of radioactive seeds, a...

Black mold disease caused by Aspergillus niger V. Tiegh. is the most devastating infection occurs in onions (Allium cepa L.) under field and store conditions. The use of biocontrol agents is ecofriendly approach for controlling seedborne and soilborne diseases compared to the use of toxic synthetic fungicides. This study has been designed to assess the contamination levels of onion seeds with A...

abstract angelica archangelica, tanacetum cinerariaefolium and chelidonium majus are valuable medicinal plants for which there is no comprehensive information about their seed germination in review of literatures. with regarding of the importance of simple propagation of medicinal plants and the role of seed in production of these plants, this study was set out in order to analyzing of the effe...
