ABSTRACT Athelia rolfsii (Curzi) C.C. Tu & Kimbr. is the one of most damaging pathogens cultivated peanut, causing soilborne disease known regionally as white mold, stem rot, or southern blight. Because genetic base for peanut narrow, wild Arachis species may possess novel sources resistance. We evaluated 18 accessions representing 15 (batizocoi, benensis, cardenasii, correntina, cruziana, ...

The zooplankton biomass and distribution were studied during two oceanographic cruises in NE part of the Persian Gulf in autumn 2012 (November) and summer 2013 (August) with 300 μmmesh net. Zooplankton samples were analyzed for biomass content. Zooplankton biomass expressed as mg m-3 dry wt., was greatest during summer cruise (mean of 18.8 ± 4.6 mg m-3 dry wt.). The mean zooplankton bioma...

many studies on cold environments have been developed over the past two decades. highmountain freshwater presents high variability of nutrients and chemico-physical parameters, showing variations of ph, oxygen concentration, metals and temperature throughout the year. national park of sierra nevada (granada, spain) (37°032 n 03°182 w), has almost 40 lakes that are reported to be both endemic an...

the length-weight relationships, (lwrs) were calculated for 14 fish species belonging to five families (cyprinidae, cobitidae, nemacheilidae, salmonidae, and gobiidae) collected from the tajan river, north of iran. significant length-weight relationships with high correlation coefficients were found for all species.

the future of biomass energy in the global energy system depends on many major factors, among others on the attitude of society in rural areas to the biomass energy and the renewable energy resources. biomass energy plays increasing role in rural areas with its contribution to the self sufficiency of people in the countryside. the paper deals with the analysis the opportunities of utilization o...

In large regions of the world, biomass is a very important source of energy. The global bioenergy market based on forest biomass is growing rapidly. About 92 % of the bioenergy in Sweden comes from forests. Biomass from forests is not homogenous. The locations, transport distances, and transport methods, can differ very much and the industries that need biomass as input prefer raw materials wit...
