the ability of composing a coherent and extended piece of writing in second language is considered as a fundamental factor to convey information and ideas of learners through the academic issues. although learners may achieve a perfect academic writing skill through assigning the l2 tasks in content based instruction, but demonstration of their abilities may be related to their ability in l1 es...

To investigate genetic variation, and identification of tolerant genotypes according to quantitative indices of drought tolerance, 8 sesame genotypes were tested in a randomized complete block design with three replications under optimum and limited irrigation at the Research Station of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University. Based on the potential yield and yield under stress, quantitative ...

abstract the current study set out to address the issue as to whether the implementation of portfolio assessment would give rise to iranian pre-intermediate efl learner autonomy. participants comprised 60 female in pre-intermediate level within the age range of 16-28.they were selected from among 90 language learners based on their scores on language proficiency test -key english test. then, t...

To identify genotypes tolerant to drought stress in rice germplasm, a factorial pot experiment was carried out in the form of a completely randomized design with three replications and 70 rice genotypes originating from Central and West Asian countries in non-stress and drought-stress conditions at the Rice Research Institute of Iran, Rasht, north of Iran, in 2019. Based on the results of this ...

Chrysanthemum is one of the most important ornamental plants. The genus chrysanthemum is a popular cut flower, medicinal and pot plant. Morphological traits such as cut rooting and leaf characteristics and genetic diversity among 50 genotypes of chrysanthemum morifolium were analyzed. Based on analysis of variance of data all traits in the studied genotypes showed significant differences at 1% ...

In order to determine suitable drought tolerance indices and to identify drought tolerant wheat genotypes, an experiment was conducted at the experimental field of Ardabil Agricultural Research Station in 2010-11 cropping season. Thirty wheat genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications under stress as well as non-stress conditions. Drought tolerance in...
