ajowan is one of the endemic plants in khorasan province, and there is a little information on its tolerance to cold stress. in order to study freezing tolerance of ajowan, an experiment was conducted in faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, based on factorial-completely randomized design with three replications and three ecotypes of ajowan (neishabour, birjand and torbat-e-he...

Species that inhabited Europe during the Late Quaternary were impacted by temperature changes and early humans, resulting in the disappearance of half of the European large mammals. However, quantifying the relative importance that each factor had in the extinction risk of species has been challenging, mostly due to the spatio-temporal biases of fossil records, which complicate the calibration ...

Thirteen fatty acids were identified from the pulps of four Tunisian Ziziphus jujuba ecotypes (Sfax, Choutrana, Mahres and Mahdia), using capillary gaseous chromatography method. These oils presented 8.31% to 12.35% of dry weights. Compared to the other ecotypes, Mahres and Choutrana were the richest of the oleic acid. The palmitic acid was the most important compound of the Sfax ecotype. Unsat...

background and objectives: infunction of the photosynthetic apparatus of halophytes plays an important role in their salinity tolerance. kochia as a halophyte, is of high ability in biomass production in salinity stress conditions. thus study photosynthesis and the related factors salinity stress can provide appropriate physiological view for better understanding of the plant mechanisms of in s...

in order to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative forage characteristics of different sainfoin ecotypes, a field experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications at the research station of agricultural college of shahrekord university. in this experiment, the amount of wet and dry weight of above-ground plants, plant height, and the protein and f...

in order to study the effects of fall planting dates on yield and yield components of six cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) ecotypes an experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design as a split-plot with three replications during 2007-08 growing season at the agricultural research station of ferdowsi university of mashhad. three planting dates (18 oct. (first), 8 nov. (second) and 29 de...

in order to evaluate the effect of freezing stress on electrolyte leakage of three mooseers’ (allium altissimum regel.) ecotypes (shirvan, kalat and tandoureh), a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was carried out under the controlled conditions in the faculty of agricultural, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2009. plants were grown in...

AIM The current study was the first of its kind taken upon indigenous ecotypes of the Karnataka in order to unravel the diversity details at 20 chicken microsatellite regions. MATERIALS AND METHODS 210 indigenous chicken belonging to six districts of Bangalore and Mysore division formed the target sample for the present study. The genomic deoxyribonucleic acid was isolated by phenol chlorofor...
