Effective of priming techniques in seed germination and seed emergence enhancement in medicinal plant of Satureja macrantha

Medicinal herbs are reserves for natural resources of each country. Iran also are rich of medicinal plant species. More medicinal plants are wild and their seeds have low germination. The experimental was carried out based on factorial (6*2 design in three replication by using of six treatments including: Acid Gibberlic 250( 500, ppm and Potassium […]

Antioxidant activity and antioxidants of raspberry and mulberry fruit

Mulberry (Morus nigra L.) and raspberry (Rubus caesius L.) are particularly desirable fruits in Iran. More recently, the interest in these mulberry and raspberry fruits has also increased because of the population of healthy properties of these fruits. The study was carried out in 2013 aiming to determine the antioxidant activing (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhyrazyl, DPPH), total […]

Similarity in ichthyodiversity of two connected rivers in Pak-Afghan border: River Chitral and River Bashgal and their frequency of distribution

River Chitral and River Bashgal are first two feeding rivers of River Kabul which join each other at Pak-Afghan border in Arandu, Pakistan.

Investigation on density, cover and production changes and the effect of soil texture on these factors in sagebrush steppe rangelands of Esfahan province

In order to study the vegetation changes of Esfahan sagebrush rangelands and the role of environmental factors on these changes, four sites located in the steppe region were selected. Alavijeh and Charmshahr had a light soil texture, while the soil texture of Dorr and Baghsorkh was heavy. The quantities of density, canopy cover and plant […]

Morphological, meristic characteristics and mtDNA analysis of Hampala Fish (Hampala macrolepidota Kuhl & Van Hasselt 1823) from ranau lake, Indonesia

Hampala (Hampala macrolepidota) in Ranau Lake is locally known by three size-based names: small size as Kemencut, medium as Arongan and large as Sebarau. To know whether these local names are the same or different species, morphometric measurements, meristic counts and mtDNA analysis were carried out. Five individuals of each size, 157–172 mm total length […]
