Monthly and annual changes of forage production and consumption of Cymbopogon olivieri (Boiss) Bor., Case study: Jevengane Genou-Hormozgan Province, Iran
Forage production in rangelands differs at different times of the grazing season and also in the same months of different years. In the present, grazing capacity is calculated for one time during the grazing season which coincides with the maximum growth of rangeland species. This causes more livestock entry in to the rangeland during the […]
Study of the plant diversity in Hyrcanian forest (case study: Lajim forest, Mazandaran province, North of Iran)
Hyrcanian (Caspian) forest in northern Iran has a richness of biological diversity, with endemic and endangered species, and a diverse range of economic and social conditions. The aim of this study is a study of the plant diversity in Lajim forest, Mazandaran province, north of Iran (Hyrcanian forest). In this study 100 circle sample plots […]
Molecular cloning and expression profiling of a chalcone synthase gene from Ginkgo biloba, Scutellaria viscidula Bunge and Tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa)
Chalcone synthase (CHS, EC 2.3.1.74) is a key enzyme of the flavonoid/isoflavonoid biosynthesis pathway. In this review, the characterization and expression profile of CHS was investigated from Ginkgo biloba, Scutellaria viscidula, and Tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa) because of the CHS role in protecting the plants from harmful effects by synthesizing flavonoid compounds. CHS was isolated […]
Exploration of near-extinct folk wisdom on medicinally important plants from Shinaki Valley Hunza, Pakistan
Study explores near extinct Ethnobotanical wisdom on medicinaly important plants from Shinaki Valley of Hunza. Research attempted to save and surface rapidly dying healing and treatment practices alongwith the gradually perishing floral wealth from the area. A total of 108 phanerogamic species belonging to 37 families were recorded. Indigenous communities use 38 species (35.18%) for […]

The Crayfish are the largest freshwater crustacean via high skill opposite wide range of environment variables and The freshwater Crayfish Astacus leptodactylus (A. leptodactylus) is the one of the important species of Crayfish family that rearing it significant in several nations . Iran has a significant role in export of A. leptodactylus to European nations. […]
Environmental and genetic variation of phenolic compounds and antioxidant capacity in raspberry
Raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) is an economically important berry crop that contains numerous phenolic compounds with potential health benefits. It is known that the content of phenolics is affected by processing factors, but limited information is available on the influence of cultural factors or genotype. To carify this issue, phenolic compounds were analysed from a […]
Groundwater fauna can be used as indicators of anthropogenic impacts on aquifers: A case study from Meknes area, Morocco
The groundwater in the plain of Fez-Meknes constitutes a major resource in the region. The study highlights the importance of this resource, especially its irreplaceability. However, a number of inferences of point source pollution or diffuse were made. In this context, this study aimed at showing the possible relationships between the water quality of wells […]

The present investigation reflects the findings of phytosociological attributes which have been undertaken in the forests of Mahoba district of Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, India. The vegetation types of district Mahoba is mainly Tropical dry mixed deciduous forest, consist of scrubs and thorn forest and grasslands. Vegetation analysis was conducted during 2007 to 2012. […]
Effect of nitrogen fertilizer and herbicides on weed control and wheat grain yield under subtropical conditions
In order to study the interaction effect of nitrogen (N) rates and herbicides (H) on weed control and wheat grain yield, this experiment was carried out in South-west of Iran which has subtropical climate, mild winters, and hot, dry summers. The experiment was a factorial using randomized complete block design with three replications. Four rates […]
Allelopathic effects of some medicinal plants on the germination and growth of Chenopodium album L.
This study was conducted at the Laboratory of Medicinal Plants, Payamenoor University of west Azerbaijan-Nagadeh, Iran, in 2012. The water extract was prepared by soaking 15, 30, 45 and 60 gram of plant materials of Moldavian balm (Dracocephalum moldavica L), Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis L.), Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) and Black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) in […]
