to evaluate canola cultivars response to physiological characteristics and grain yield end seasonal drought stress in weather condition of ahvaz, farm experiments were done at research farm of khuzestan agriculture and natural resources center. during 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 crop years. farm test comprised drought stress was done as split plot form with randomize complete block design with four...

Background: A pot experiment was conducted to determine the toxic effects of some heavy metals on the plant growth and seed yield of maize (Zea mays L.). Materials and Metheds: Heavy metals Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr and Co individually and in combinations were added as chloride salts in solutions to the pots before sowing. The test plants for were harvested after 80 days of germination and evaluated f...

This study was conducted in acompletely randomized block design with three replications using three concentrations of 107, 105, and 103cfu/ml of Azotobacter isolated from the rhizosphere of Karun varieties of barley (Az. salentris) and standard Az.chrococom along with control (zero concentration of bacteria). The aim of this study was to study the reactions of barley plantin response to inocula...

in order to study the effect of supplementary irrigation and different plant densities on grain yield and yield components of chickpea cv hashem, an experiment was conducted as split plot arrangement in a randomized complete block design with three replications in sirvan, ilam during 2008-2009 cropping season. main plot included supplementary irrigation (check as non-irrigation, supplementary i...

background and objectives: regarding the importance of finding new antibacterial drugs, screening of plants as a promising resource are now conducted worldwide. in this study, we report the application of a simple previously described method for screening of different plant seeds in order to find the best resources of plant antimicrobial peptides. materials and methods: total water soluble prot...

        Ricin, the toxic lectin extracted from the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis), consists of an A chain (RTA) and a B chain (RTB). Anti-A chain Abs and anti-B chain Abs can neutralize toxins in vivo and in vitro via blocking the binding of the toxin to the cell. Also, RTB protein is able to serve as an antigen deliver to the mucosal immune system and act as an immunoad...
