in order to study of efficiency total dual purpose herbicide and mixed granestar and acsiyal herbicides, and response of wheat at growth various stages to the aforementioned herbicides, an experiment with randomized complete block design with three replications were conducted during 2008-2009 in a field experiment at ramin agricultural and natural resources university, khouzestan. treatments in...

Appropriate leaf rolling enhances erect-leaf habits and photosynthetic efficiency, which consequently improves grain yield. Here, we reported the novel lateral organ boundaries domain (LBD) gene OsLBD3-7, which is involved in the regulation of leaf rolling. OsLBD3-7 works as a transcription activator and its protein is located on the plasma membrane and in the nucleus. Overexpression of OsLBD3-...

Edamame soybeans are a speciality food item for fresh and processed markets and they are harvested at a physiologically immature (R6) stage. Bean leaf beetle, Cerotoma trifurcata, is a sporadic pest of soybean in Nebraska, however, its pest status and abundance has increased in the recent years due to an increase in soybean acreage. This was a field experiment aimed at determining the populatio...

The effect of leachates of different phenological stages of Cassia occidentalis L. on Parthenium hysterophorus L. was studied. Seed germination, radicle length, plumule length and fresh and dry weight of Parthenium were recorded. Pigments and protein contents were also measured to evaluate relation between biochemical and biophysical parameters of Parthenium under stress. The leaf leachate of C...

in the present study resistance of some elite lines of wheat at seedling stage were evaluated in cereal rusts greenhouse at seed and plant improvement institute in karaj and at adult plant stage in ahvaz under artificial inoculation with an isolate of leaf rust from ahvaz. for seedling resistance, different components of resistance were measured. the results showed that lines m-85-1, m-86-1 and...

Introduction: Olive leaf contains anti-inflammatory and COX-2 inhibitor compounds. Considering the role of the COX enzyme in seizures, this research was performed to assess the effects of this extract in treatment of seizures induced by PTZ. Methods: In this research, male Wistar rats (200±20 g) were injected intra-cerebroventricularly with 1 μl saline or olive leaf extract (125 μg, 250 μg ...

Chinese tallow (Triadica sebifera (L.) Small) is an aggressive invasive tree species that can be abundant in parts of its non-native range. This tree species has the capability of producing monocultures, by outcompeting native trees, which can be in or near wetlands that are utilized by breeding amphibians. Existing research suggests that leaf litter from invasive Chinese tallow reduces surviva...
