        Introduction: Application of ionizing radiation as a new method in the preservation ofagricultural products has been introduced since 35 years ago. Gamma irradiation has beenintroduced as a new technique to preserve the foods.Materials and Methods: Kiwifruit cultivar (Hayward) has been used and the samples with 0(Control), 0.5, 1 and 2 kGy cobalt-60 were gamma irradiated then refrigerated at 3±1°C for aduration of 0, 30.60 and 90 days. In this study Response Surface Methodology and inputparameters consisted of irradiation dose and storage time for optimal conditions for storage ofirradiated kiwis were determined. Finally, using regression and neural network methodsoutput prediction and response surface method were compared.Results : The optimal conditions for storage of irradiated kiwis were determined. Theoptimum point for shelf-life, radiation dose, weight, color parameters L*, a* and b*, ascorbicacid content and pH value, were proposed respectively, (two months, 1 kGy, 48.13 and 45.86,11.03 and 12.79, 29.916, 3.2545). By increasing storage time and radiation dose, the weightof stored samples reduced. By increasing irradiation dose and duration of storage a*parameter decreased. By increasing irradiation dose also the b* parameter reduced but byincreased storage time, L* increased. Similarly, by increasing storage time and radiation dose,pH value increased and ascorbic acid content reduced.Conclusion: The neural network and regression analysis have been employed to predict thechanges in color, weight, pH value and ascorbic acid content.

        The study were done during 2010-2011 to investigate the integrated effects of different doses of gamma radiation and diatomaceous earth (INSECTO®) on Red Flour Beetle Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) in laboratory conditions (27±1°C, 60±5% humidity, dark room). In this study, adults of red flour beetle were grown on mashed corn (50 gram) and then treated with different doses of Gamma ray (100, 500 and 1000 Gray) and three doses of diatomaceous earth (0.5, 1 and 1.5 g kg-1). Percentage of mortality were recorded after 1, 2, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days and compared with control. Results showed significant differences among various doses of diatomaceous earth (DE) and Gamma ray and their interactions in most days after treatment. In comparing the means mortality in different doses of diatomaceous earth (DE) and various doses of Gamma ray, most mortality were recorded after 35 days in 1.5 gr/kg diatomaceous earth and 1000 Gray Gamma ray separately. In combination of Gamma ray and diatomaceous earth, most mortalities were recorded after 35 days for 1 and 1.5 g kg-1 (DE) combined with 500 and 1000 gray Gamma ray. It is concluded that 1 gkg-1 (DE) combined with 500 gray gamma ray is the best combination of the lreatmants. Manuscript profile

        Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the crops which is the main source of food for more than a third of the world's population. Limiting factors such as environmental stress require increasing the yield of agricultural products per unit area. Soil salinity is one of the most important factors reducing the productivity of crops throughout the world. Induced mutation is widely used as an effective tool for improving the yield, quality, and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in product modification. In order to screen salt-tolerant superior mutant lines of rice, 10 mutant lines (M5) derived from three Iranian local varieties (Tarom, Anbarbo, and Hasani) were assessed during two generations (M6 and M7) at saline field (EC of soil was 6-8 ds/m). The experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications. Three salt-tolerant superior mutant lines (13-3, 32-18 and 22-1) were selected in comparison with their parents (control). Physiological parameters of superior mutant lines (high stomatal conductivity, Fv/Fm, and total chlorophyll) were biochemical (lower Na+/K+ ratio, high proline accumulation, less membrane damage). These superior mutant lines will be introduced as new salt-tolerant rice varieties and sources of plant germplasm. Manuscript profile

        Various ways to increase the duration used for food storage, among whom radiation can be used as an effective way to retard spoilage in food in particular is concerned with the origin of the fish. In this study 50 grass carp (Grass carp) (Ctenopharyngodon idella) (mean weight 1-1.5 kg) for gamma irradiation with cobalt-60 source by doses of zero, 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 kGy chosen and then change microbial load and total volatile nitrogen in the days 1, 7 and 14 were evaluated under the conditions of storage in refrigerator. These research results demonstrate the significant decline in aerobic mesophilic bacteria and T.V.N in the irradiated samples in comparison with non-irradiated samples. In this study, given that the dose of 3.5 kGy dose caused a significant decrease in comparison with other (standard range) T.V.N values and aerobic mesophilic bacteria was in the refrigerator until the seventh day. Therefore, in Grass carp using it (3.5kGy) as the best dose to prevent corruption is recommended in seventh days. Manuscript profile

        In order to study salt tolerance of 38 genotypes derived from gamma ray irradiation on 033 soybean cultivar (M2 generation), seeds of selected M1 genotypes were sown under greenhouse condition with 3 levels of sodium chloride (30, 60 and 90 mM) in sandy culture as a factorial experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with 3 replications in 2008. After 60 days from imposing salinity treatment, the traits of stem length, root length, root node number, plant fresh weight, dry weight of aerial part of plant, root dry weight and plant biomass were recorded. Analysis of variance indicated that there were significant differences between salinity treatments, genotypes and their interaction. Moreover, results showed significant differences in morphological traits. The observations showed the most extensive variation range was belonging to 320 Gy dose of gamma ray. In this study, 13 genotypes were selected and they were tolerant to all salinity levels compare to control. These promising genotypes can be used as new germplasms to obtain new salt tolerant or resistant varieties in near future. Manuscript profile

        Gamma ray is one of the electromagnetic rays that has the capacity of ionization and inspiration and its penetrating power is more than that of beta and alphas. Therefore, To determine the effect of  gamma ray on agronomic and morphological traits related to lodging in the rice (Oryza Sative L.) an experiment based on randomized complete block design (RCBD) was performed in four replications in the growth year of 1388(2010) in the city of Qaemshahr. Treatments were  rice seeds under different dozes of gamma rays (60 cobalt) in four levels (100,200 and 300 Gy and control or without shining). The results showed that the bending movement of third and fourth inter nodes with an increase in the gamma ray doze up to 300 Gy in comparison with the control  27.4% and 28.1%, respectively had a decreasing movement. The maximum grain yield with shining 300 Gy (259 gm2)was obtained. Because the highest number of spikelet in panicle (170.15 ones) and number of panicle in a square meter (401.25) was obtained for the same doze of shining. The lowest grain yield (173.75 gm2) was obtained for the control group. The minimum plant height was obtained with shining 300 Gy that was equal to 145.01centemeters and the maximum plant height was for the shining of 100 Gy and control respectively that was 153.07 and 156.56 centimeters.   Manuscript profile
