morphological and pomological features were studied for two consecutive years in wild apricot seedlings grown under macedonian environmental conditions. the population comprised of 19 seedlings, i.e. genotypes, that showed notable fruit and tree traits. their flowering time and desirable fruit quality features were determined in comparison with ‘hungarian best’. in all genotypes, flowering occu...

A total of 1905 mixed sex day old broiler chickens were reared in environmentally controlled house for 5 weeks to study the production performance of chicks by feeding different levels of canola meal in their diets. The chickens were randomly allocated to five dietary treatment groups ( A, B, C, D and E ) having three replicates of 127 birds in each group. Groups A, B, C, D and E were fed pelle...

to determine the relative salt tolerance and/or resistance in seedlings of pistachio genotypes, four pot experimentswere conducted. in experiments 1 and 2, the effects of salinity on growth indices were studid. experiments were donein the form of split plot based on rcbd. in each experiment, mainplots consisted of different electrical conductivitiesof irrigation water (eciws). in experiment 1, ...

The drought tolerance of canola cultivars viz., Shirale, Oscar, Con-II, Rainbow and 19H was investigated after exposure to drought stress at various growth stages in a pot experiment. Water stress was imposed at flowering and pod filling growth stages. Data of various physiological (leaf chlorophyll a & b, proline and protein contents) and agronomic attributes (number of pods/plant, seeds/pods,...

the changes of chl a fluorescence induction curve in response to different salinity levels in canola (barassica napus, l.) plants were investigated. the canola seedlings were exposed to salt stress (100 mm and 200 mm nacl) for 7 days and chl a fluorescence induction kinetics was analysed. by using the ojip-test, various parameters like vj, area, n, φpo, φeo, ψo, rc/abs and piabs were calculated...

Blackleg, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, is an economically important disease of canola (Brassica napus). Little is known about the current distribution of pathogenicity groups (PGs) of L. maculans in Canada and the United States. Four hundred and eighty-nine isolates of L. maculans or Leptosphaeria biglobosa from western Canada and North Dakota, United States, were placed in five PGs (PG-1 ...

A plant growth-promoting bacterium, Kluyvera ascorbata SUD165, that contained high levels of heavy metals was isolated from soil collected near Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The bacterium was resistant to the toxic effects of Ni2+, Pb2+, Zn2+, and CrO4-, produced a siderophore(s), and displayed 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid deaminase activity. Canola seeds inoculated with this bacterium and...

Present study was designed to estimate the coagulation parameters like prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT). In this study, coagulation parameters were compared in animals fed on low and high conc. of canola oil with that of canola supplemented with atherogenic element. For this purpose, sixty albino rats were selected and divided into five different groups wit...
