Ispaghul (Plantago ovata Forsk.) as an important medicinal plant has obtained a remarkable reputation due to therapeutic applications of seed mucilage. To determine the effect of in vitro-induced polyploidy on various characteristics of P. ovata, the terminal bud of two true leaves seedlings were separately treated with colchicine [0.1, 0.3 and 0.5...

Plantago psylliumis is under development as the source of mucilage, but has not been entirely domesticated. Since mucilage content is low and variable in the medicinal plant, it is imperative to apply breeding approaches to accelerate the domestication process and improve the mucilage content in the seeds. One approach to achieve these purposes is...

In order to identify QTLs associated with stemlet and rootlet growth in the early stages of germination of wheat, 144 recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross of Kaz and Mantana were evaluated in a completely randomized design. The linkage map using composite interval by 234 microsatellite (SSR) primers and 267 AFLP loci have been already pr...

Considering the importance of impact of heat stress on reproductive organs in wheat and to study the effects of stress on germination percentage of pollen and pollen tube length on 10 wheat cultivars, which include Kaz, Mantna, Gohar, Kuhdasht, Zagros, Alvand, Atrak, Durum, Nyknzhad and Chamran at 25, 30, 35, 40 and 50 degrees Celsius in the form o...

With consideration of harvest index and relationship with grain yield the experiment for locating locus of genes that control of harvest index in two normal and heat stress condition that used inbred lines population of wheat recombinant inbred line population that containing 144 recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross between Kaz (tolerant...

Wheat is one of the most important crops for food production. SSR and AFLP markers are common markers for QTL detection. QTL detection can help to understand the details of genes controlling traits and marker-assisted selection to proceed. For detection of QTL linkage map covering 20 wheat chromosomes were used. For this purpose, 144 recombinant in...

To study the effects of high temperature on the meiosis of pollen mother cells (PMCs) and to determine their relationship with grain set, two in situ experiments were conducted between 2010 and 2012 on four wheat cultivars, Kauz, Montana, M6 and Chamran, under normal (normal cultivation) and terminal heat stress (late cultivation) conditions. Due t...

Aims: The aim of the present study was to investigate the optimization of the treatment process of Bushigan water treatment plant (South of Iran) in respect of turbidity and total organic carbon (TOC) removal. Materials and Methods: The water samples were collected from Shapoor river the influent water to Bushigan treatment plant. A conventional ja...
