In order to study the effect of priming types on germination of Nigella sativa under osmotic stress, a factorial experiment was conducted in completely randomized design with three replications in Seed Technology Laboratory of Yasouj University. The main factors of the experiment included six priming levels (2 osmopriming levels with potassium nitr...

Insects are poikilothermes, hence environmental factors, and primarily temperature can affect their biological activities and behavior. In this study thermal range preferred by Ooencyrtus fecundus Ferrier & Voegele was investigated by a device producing a thermal gradient from 16 to 47ºC. Temperature of different parts of the arena was precisely re...

In order to evaluate the effect of priming on germination of Black cumin under different levels of salinity, a factorial experiment on base of completely randomized design was conducted with three replications. The main factors consisted of five levels of priming (osmopraiming with KNO3 (1 and 3%), salicylic acid (SA) (0.2 and 0.5 mM) and a hydropr...

This study was aimed to assess of priming effects on soluble proteins and antioxidant enzymes of as a Nigella Sativa medicinal plant under different levels of salinity and drought. Two greenhouse factorial experiments with three replicated Randomized Complete Block Design were conducted. Treatments included five levels of priming (potassium nitrate...

Ooencyrtus fecundus Ferriere & Voegele (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) is one of the gregarious egg parasitoids of sunn pest that can superparasitize the host. Superparasitism has inverse effects on fitness, reproductive potential, competition ability and adult size of gregarious parasitoids. In this study, the effects of superparasitism and its intensit...
