this survey was conducted on 133 egge that they were collected from isphahan markets, eggs are tested for aerobic mesophill bacteria (total count) and 186 eggs were tested for salmonella spp. contamination. the results showed 3000 to 10 million colony per gram bacteria counted in egg samples. the mean colony count was 1693000.7 percentage samples rich to mean colony count. (95% accuracy,sd2.232...

Chlorophyll fluorescence and hyperspectral reflectance were used to evaluate physiological responses to two common stressors in coastal environments. Chlorophyll content is one indicator of drought and salinity vegetation stress because of its direct role in the photosynthetic process and electron transport. Recent advances in fluorescence spectroscopy have led to the development of numerous re...

in recent years application of plant growth regulators especially growth retardants, has been significantly increased. trizols (paclobutrzol and trinexapac-ethyl) as the most effective and least harmful growth retardants, induce more dwarf and denser cover plants with both darker and thicker leaves.  therefore, an experiment based on completely randomized block design with 16 treatments and 3 r...

to study the physiological and morphological relationships of two clover species affected by herbicides, pursuit experiment in a factorial based on randomized completely design with 3 replications at the damavand in 2012. the first factor consisted of two species of trifolium pretense l. and trifolium alexandrinum l. and the second factor consisted of three levels of herbicide pursuit (0, 0.5, ...

This study examined the changes of chlorophyll content and chloroplast ultrastructure in mesophyll cells of two rice (Oryza sativa L. spp. japonica) cultivars with different saline-alkali tolerance (Suijing NO.5: salinity-alkalinity-tolerant, and Songjing NO.6: salinityalkalinity-sensitive). Both rice cultivars were grown under three natural occurring saline-alkali conditions, as well as the no...

1. The blue-green alga Anacystis nidulans was cultured under steady state conditions at 25 and 39 degrees C. and under several different light intensities to give five different types of cells. 2. Cells were submitted to pigment analysis based upon acetone extracts and aqueous extracts obtained by sonic disintegration. The different cell types show a threefold range of chlorophyll content and a...

Water retaining agent (WRA) is widely used for soil erosion control and agricultural water saving. Here, we evaluated the effects of the combination of beneficial soil bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain GB03 and WRA (the compound is super absorbent hydrogels) on drought tolerance of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Seedlings were subjected to natural drought for maximum 20 days ...

The tomato plant is usually infected with various pathogens such as pests, bacteria, and different mycoflora. In this investigation, Tomato cultivar Beeli was pathogenized Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. Lycopersicon (FOL1) fungi. FOL1 fungus controlled by inoculating the plants each one of biocontrol microorganisms, Arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM), Trichoderma harzianum (T. harzianum), microbial blend, na...

The growth of photoautotrophic Euglena gracilis Z is strongly inhibited by manganese deficiency, whereas chlorophyll formation is not appreciably affected. The galactosyldiglyceride content of the manganese-deficient photo-autotrophic Euglena was about 40% lower on the basis of either chlorophyll content or dry weight. When dark-grown cultures of Euglena were grown photoheterotrophically in lig...

  Abstract Two experiments with factorial arrangements on the basis of randomized complete block design in three replications were conducted in 2007 and 2008, to evaluate chlorophyll content index (CCI), fluorescence of chlorophyll, proline content and grain yield of three soybean cultivars (Williams, Zan and L17) under a non-saline (control) and three saline (3, 6 and 9 ds/m NaCl) conditions...
