Objective: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the effect of foliar spraying of bacterial herbicides and aqueous extracts of plants on the morphological characteristics and starch of barnyard grass weed and rice.Methods: This experiment was conducted as split factorial based on a randomized complete block design cityAmol with three replications in the two cropping years of 2018 and 2019. Factors included the foliar application of aqueous extracts plants and surfactant of sorghum, broccoli, nettle, eucalyptus, elder-berry, Streptomyces sp-albos containing thaxtomin, Xanthomonas campestris bacteria and control as the main factor, the concentration of the extract was zero, 5, 10 and 15 per thousand as a subfactor and the plant species of rice were Tarom cultivar and barnyard grass weed as a sub-sub factor.Results: By extracts foliar application, barnyard grass seed yield and biological yield decreased and the seed starch percent increased. Rice seed yield in the use of 5 per thousand broccoli extract and 5 per thousand Streptomyces sp-albos was not significantly different from the control. By increasing the concentration of the extract, seed yield and biological yield of rice and barnyard grass showed a further decrease. The lowest seed yield in rice at 3.16 tons/ha was related to elder-berry extract and in barnyard grass 0.68 and 0.61 tons/ha was related to nettle and elder-berry extract.Conclusion: According to the obtained results, Allelopathy and plant pathogens can be one of the basic ways to control weeds in a sustainable agricultural system.

In order to investigate the effects Azoto of irrigation cutting and chemical and biological fertilizers, Azoto Barvar 1 and phosphate Barvar 2 on grain yield, essential oil and biochemical properties cumin, an experiment was conducted as split plot based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the University of Zabol Research Farm during 2016. Main plots included four levels of irrigation cutting; conventional irrigation, irrigation cutting in between stem elongation to flowering, irrigation cutting in between flowering to beginning of the grain filling period and irrigation cutting in between beginning to end of grain filling period. The subplot was the different type of phosphorous fertilizer including control (no fertilizer application), Azoto Barvar 1 and Phosphate Barvar 2 and triple superphosphate. Results indicated that the interaction of irrigation cutting and phosphorous fertilizer was significant on seed yield, oil percentage, carbohydrates, proline, total protein, absorption of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. The greatest seed yield, oil percentage, total protein, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus obtained at conventional irrigation along with the application of Azoto Barvar 1, while the greatest proline was achieved at irrigation cutting between beginnings to the end of grain filling period along with the application of triple superphosphate. The greatest carbohydrate was observed at irrigation cutting between beginnings to the end of the grain filling period along with the application of Phosphate Barvar 2. In conclusion, results indicated positive effects of biofertilizers on the improvement of nutritional conditions of plants under irrigation cutting conditions

In order to evaluate the morphological characteristics and lodging related traits and carbohydrate content of culm and carbohydrate remobilization in traditional and improved rice cultivars, a field experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications at Rice Research Institute of Iran )Rasht( in 2012 and 2013. Rice genotypes included three native rice cultivars (Hashemi, Sangjo and Alikazemi) and six improved (Kadous, Gohar, Khazar, Sepidrood, Deylam and Dorfak) and three promising lines (831, 841 and 416). On the basis of this results, the greatest amount of breaking resistance were observed in third and fourth internods of Khazar. Furthermore, significant positive correlation were observed between average diameter of internode, fresh weight/length of internode and unsoluble carbohydrate content of culm in anthesis and maturity stages with breaking resistance of third and forth internods. Also, significant positive correlation was observed between number of parenchyma cells and unsoluble carbohydrate content of culm in anthesis and maturity stages. On the other hand, there was significant negative correlation between carbohydrate remobilization and breaking resistance of third and forth internods. Principal component analysis classified plant characteristics to two groups. The first factor was named as lodgigng resistance factor and included 71.01 percent of total variation. The second factor with 19.74 percent of total variation was named as morphological lodging sensitivity factor. According to the results of this experiment, it seems that average diameter, thikness and weight/length of internode, have major roles in rice plant resistance to lodging.

Five different media with two concentrations and kinds of carbohydrates and peptone treatments were examined for their effectiveness in promoting asymbiotic seed germination of Epipactis veratrifolia. Results revealed significant differences between media on seed germination percentage and protocorm growth and Fast medium has the best effect on both. Carbohydrate treatments had significant effect on seed germination percentage but not on protocorm growth. Modified Fast medium with 5gr l-1 fructose and 12 gr l-1 sucrose and 2 gr l-1 peptone (MFH2P2) was the best medium for seed germination (49.6%) and Modified Fast medium with 30 gr l-1 sucrose and 2 gr l-1 peptone (MFH1P2) was the best medium for protocorm growth (17.3 mm). Media, carbohydrate and peptone influence seed germination percentage, while media and peptone alone influence protocorm growth. In addition, use of in vitro culture significantly reduced relatively long period of time which is necessary for seed germination and protocorm plantlets growth in natural conditions (approximately 2 years).

In this investigation some chemical and morphological properties of dog rose fruit in 10 regions of north Iran were measured. Results showed significant difference between traits in studied regions. Beta-carotene ranged between 0.05 – 0.323 (mg/g FW). Total soluble carbohydrate varied from 5.9 – 23.3%. The highest content of total anthocyanin 23.7 and the lowest was 7.71(mg/L cyanidin-3-glucoside). The highest and lowest amount of TSS in regions under study was 15.72 and 34.9%, respectively. GGE biplot method used for studying effect of different regions on chemical and morphological properties. IR56 accession had highest amount of beta-carotene according to the polygon. The highest content of and total anthocyanin obtained from IR51. Pearson’s coefficients showed that fruit weight had significantly correlation with fruit flesh. Fruit length had significantly correlation with fruit width. Also Total soluble carbohydrate correlation with total anthocyanin and TSS was significant. Obtained results from this study could be used in the future breeding program of dog rose.
