Dehydrins are a family of proteins (LEA [late-embryogenesis abundant] D11) commonly induced by environmental stresses associated with low temperature or dehydration and during seed maturation drying. Our previous genetic studies suggested an association of an approximately 35-kD protein (by immunological evidence a dehydrin) with chilling tolerance during emergence of seedlings of cowpea (Vigna...

in this study, by using minimum, maximum and mean daily interpolated data from asfazari data base, the changes of agro climatic indices analyzed in iran during 1962-2004. at first, the indices calculated for each pixels and then trend and slope value evaluated by nonparametric mann-kendal and parametric regression method. in total, the results showed that the indices have positive trend on the ...

A computer program has been written to simulate the Brownian motion of rigid fluorescent molecules. The time dependence of the fluorescence polarization anisotropy as generated by this simulation is in agreement with that predicted by the recent theoretical treatment of Belford, Belford, and Weber (Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA (1972) 69, 1392-1393). The program thus serves as a verification of the...
