Pistachio green kernel, is obtained by removing the red testa of around the whole kernel. In this study, the suitable peeling conditions for removing the testa of the kernel were determined using hot water in five termperature levels of 75, 80, 85, 90, and 95°C and diffetent hot water immersion times of 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 minutes in riped and unripe samples. Quality factors including the number...

Traits related to nitrogen fixation may be used as indirect selection criteria foraflatoxin resistance in peanut. The aim of this study was to investigate therelationship between N2 fixation traits and aflatoxin contamination in peanut underdifferent drought conditions. Eleven peanut genotypes were evaluated under threewater regimes for two seasons in the field. Data were observed on kernel inf...

The present study was carried out to estimate genetic variability parameters for some traits such as pods per plant, cell membrane stability, one thousand kernel weight, flowering period, grain filling period, chlorophyll content, relative water content, leaf excised water content, seed per pod and pod length, in 16 winter rapeseed genotypes. Statistical analysis showed significant differences ...

to investigate the yield and agronomic traits of winter bread wheat genotypes in irrigating condition and also to determine the relationship of these traits with grain yield, 15 advanced genotypes of wheat along with three conventional cultivars where studied using randomized complete block design in three replications in 2010 growing season at kheyr-abad agricultural research station. the anal...

People intuitively match basic tastes to sounds of different pitches, and the matches that they make tend to be consistent across individuals. It is, though, not altogether clear what governs such crossmodal mappings between taste and auditory pitch. Here, we assess whether variations in taste intensity influence the matching of taste to pitch as well as the role of emotion in mediating such cr...

an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of five plants densities (100,200,300,400 and 500 grain m-2) on yield and its components in three rain fed barley cultivars (ezeh, mahor and dopar). a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in agricultural research center of khorramabad city in the east of iran (in 2006-2007). in th...

lead to continuing effects for increasing extensive of yield by means of advanced agronomic operations and selection of high yielding resistant genotypes. there fore, due to evaluation and determination of best effective traits in improvement of yield and grain quality of local populations of winter wheat, an experiment was carried out in uremia agricultural research station, on 30 local popula...
