conclusions although carbohydrate fermentation patterns specified these three isolates as b. infantis, b. bifidum, and b. longum, the molecular results did not confirm b. longum, which is still also controversial in the literature. overall, our results demonstrated that kashk-e zard is a rich potential source of probiotic bacteria and further investigations should be undertaken. results twelve ...

salinity is one of the most important limiting factors for crops, because of most agronomic and horticultural crops are sensitive to salinity. on the other hands, considerable lands of the world were affected by salinity and they are increasing day by day. an experiment was conducted with five levels of irrigation water salinity in soilless culture and greenhouse condition to evaluate the effec...

Soluble sugar accumulation pattern and contents were studied in two Iranian melon cultivars, ‘Suski Sabz’ and ‘Jalali Zard’ (Cucumis melo L. Inodorous). Sucrose, glucose and fructose contents were determined in different mesocarp tissues of developing fruits during days after pollination (DAP). They were characterised by enhanced accumulation of glucose and fructose during early fruit developme...

fusarium wilt disease is one of the major plant diseases that affect melon production. in this study a total of 23 landraces and breeding lines of melon were collected from different regions of iran planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications and were studied to find new sources of resistant ones in the tray contained clay, pith mass and perlite in greenhouse. the root...

pollen grains of five olive cultivars (olea europaea l .) were examined, using scanning electron microscopy (sem) for identification purposes. four measurments, polar axis (p), equatorial diameter (e), p/e ratio and exine patterns were made. forty pollen grains of each cultivar were viewed before finally selecting a representative pollen grain. polar diameter ranged between 22.76 μm for the...
