to evaluate the agronomic characteristics in three brassica species (rape, indian mustard, and turnip) and to determine the best stress tolerance indices, 16 brassica cultivars were studied under controlled conditions in -0.6 mpa of stress and as well under field (either stressed or irrigated) conditions at the dryland agricultural research station, kermanshah during 2004-05. the results showed...

BACKGROUND Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) have been increasing among Australian Indigenous young people for over two decades.
