Triticale is mainly grown for feed grain, and biomass production for thatching straw and common human utilization. A combined analysis with split plot layout in two years of 2016 and 2017 with 5 replications was used to evaluate yield and yield components of triticale under different methanol...

Charcoal canker of oak, which has recently increased in southern Iran, could pose a serious threat to the entire forest ecosystem in the near future. In addition, it seems that climate change and its consequences, such as drought in the southern regions of Iran, have exacerbated this phenomenon....

Introduction: In arid and semi-arid regions, drought stress as the main factor and salinity stress as a secondary factor reduces plant growth and yield. Water limitation can damage pigments and plastids, reduce chlorophyll a, b, rate and grain filling period. One of the important strategies for...

Background: The major part of the edible oil used in Iran is supplied through imports. It is important to increase the yield of oilseed crops, especially soybeans, in non-chemical and environmentally friendly ways, along with its easy availability and low cost. The use of magnetic water as a new...

In a survey of fungal species associated with bark beetle galleries and decline symptoms on elm trees in northwestern zone of Iran, synnematous fungal isolates were recovered from bark beetle galleries on declining elm trees in the Tabriz, Bostan Abad and the Zanjan regions. A phylogeny inferred...

In a survey of fungal species associated with dieback and decline symptoms on elm trees in Tabriz metropolis (East Azerbaijan province, northwestern Iran), phoma-like coelomycetous fungal isolates were recovered from discolored wood tissues of declining elm trees. A phylogeny inferred based on...

In order to investigate the effect of water deficit stress and methanol foliar application on yield and yield components of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L), an experiment was conducted in the split plot form based on Completely Randomized Block Design with three replications during growing seasons...

Criconemoides neoinformis n. sp., a cryptic species of C. informis group, and C. persicus n. sp. were recovered from the rhizosphere of pear and grass, in Zanjan and West Azerbaijan provinces, northwestern Iran, respectively. Criconemoides neoinformis n. sp. is characterised by 522-585 μm long...

Leaf traits, which vary across different climatic conditions, can reveal evolutionary changes within a species made to adapt to the environment. Leaf traits play major roles in a plant functions under varying climatic conditions. To examine adaptive modes and mechanisms applied by plants in...

Background & Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of biochar obtained from pruning wastes of pomegranate trees comparing with vermicompost Oenothera biennis under drought stress. Materials & Methods: Treatments were different levels of organic modifier application...
