the present study was aimed to investigate the effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-tio 2 ) on wheat ( triticumaestivum l.) plants cv. parsi. the experimental treatments included seven concentrations of nano- tio 2 (10, 100, 1000, 1200, 1500 and 1700 ppm nano-tio 2 and control (without any tio 2 ). the results showed that among the wheat germination indices, germination rate and weig...

in order to evaluate some morphological traits of durum wheat genotypes, 18 elite lines selected from advanced regional durum wheat yield trials. these materials along, with two checks dena (durum wheat) and parsi (bread wheat) were examined using rcb design with three replications at isfahan research station in two consecutive cropping season. during the cropping season some trials such as the...

parsi zira, bunium persicum (boiss.) b. fedtsch., or black zira, a member of the umbellifera family, is one of the most important medicinal species with high economic value. generally, there is limited information about in vitro culture of bunium persicum. in this study, the effect of various media (ms, b5) and combinations of plant growth regulators, naa and 2,4-d alone or together with kin, o...

pathogenicity of wheat stem rust was investigated during two cropping seasons of the years 2010 and 2011. towards this end, 47 isogenic lines of wheat stem rust along with 43 cultivars/lines of the crop were tested in field conditions (natural infection) and also in the greenhouse conditions. the results showed, similarity of pathogenicity for plants carring gene/s sr7b, sr8a, sr8b, sr9b, sr9d,...

I enthusiastically studied Parviz et al. article (1). It was an exceptional description of the possibility that great Persian and Andalusian physicians like Haly Abbas and Ibn Rushd might be familiar with optic neuritis and its relationship with paresthesia. This has not only been significant in medical history and proves the role of Persian traditional medicine in promoting science but also pr...

Since this polymorphism has also been studied as a risk factor for premature myocardial infarction (MI), we also recruited 120 patients of young MI (age <40 years). Two hundred unrelated Parsi individuals were also screened. The reason for including Parsis is that it is an old immigrant population which migrated from Iran (old Persia) to India several years ago to evade religious persecution an...
