This understanding is conducted through different techniques of discourse. One of the most important approaches of discourse, is Laclau and Mouffe’s which adopts the concepts such as the separation of fixed and floating signifier, articulation, moments and elements, opposition and otherness to explore the implicit purposes in the texts. In this study, by using Laclau and Mouffe’s, we tried to analyze the “roots” novel discourse to indentify the approaches in the postcolonial literature.

The views of people like Edward Said, Frantz Fanon and Homi Bhabha explain and interpret the post-colonial discourse analysis that would help us in this article. The main goal of this research is to identify the effective signifiers of the conflict between colonialist discourse and slavery, which forms the central ideology of the novel of the roots. Racism and slavery were among the important concepts in the discourse of colonialism, which contributed to the hegemonic process of discourse. On the other hand, concepts such as submission, retardation, violence and lack of accountability are also found in the discursive circle of African slavery. The dominance of colonial discourse in the roots of the novel is formed by the rejection of indigenous African concepts and culture and consolidating their western and American meanings in American dominant discourse.

In this article, the novel was considered based on the characteristics of critical stylistics. The aim of this study is to reach an in-depth interpretation of the work. Because, from the perspective of critical stylistics, it is easier to reach the hidden manifestations of ideology, domination, power, and prevailing discourse of the novel, and to reflect on how language reproduces these social concepts. The novel "Roots in the Deep" deals with the warriors and veterans’ issues. Shafi's - a war veteran - resistance as a representative of the national (religious) discourse against life difficulties and local and traditional laws and his hopefulness shows the failure of local discourse and its being bobtailed and, conversely, the authority, being promising and continuity of the national (religious) discourse over time. The present article is organized by descriptive-analytical method. Manuscript profile -

The most conspicuous symptom is a frustose rootstock and decline. The suspicious infected samples were collected at different stages of growth and transported to the laboratory. The samples were rinsed under top water and disinfested with 70% ethyl alcohol. Pieces of each sample was separated with a sterile blade and cultured on potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium. Obtained fungal isolates were purified and pathogenicity of the isolates was tested by A mycelial plug (5 mm diam.) obtained from the margin of a fungal colony was placed in the wound with the mycelium facing towards the stem, and the wound was wrapped with Parafilm. Based on the morphological characteristics including colony form, conidia specific feature, and growing on agar cum Foeniculum vulgare stipes, studied fungal isolates were identified as Diaporthe novem Santos. Genomic DNA extraction was done from fungal isolates and amplification was done with ITS1, ITS4 and Bt regions primers and the amplicons were sequenced. Also the sequencing results confirmed fungal species mentioned above. This is the first report of fruit drop and dieback disease and the causal agent identification on local tangerine in north of Iran. Manuscript profile -

Rough Lemon, C. macrophylla (Alemow), Poncirus trifoliata, Swingle Citromelo(C. paradise × P. trifoliata) were evaluated for their resistance to the citrus nematode. The seedlings were planted in the pots and citrus orchard. In case of pot experiments, the three months old rootstock seedlings were transplanted to the pots with 40 J2/g of soil. The roots of seedlings were scored for nematode infestation after six months. For orchard experiments, the five months old rootstock seedlings were transplanted to naturally infested soil in a citrus orchard with 25 J2/g of soil. The roots of these seedlings were evaluated for nematode infestation 4.5 and 15 months after transplanting. The susceptibility of rootstocks to citrus nematode was evaluated on the base of the number of penetrated females per gram of feeder roots. In both experiments P. trifoliata, Swingle citromelo and Citrus ourantium were resistant to citrus nematode, whereas the other rootstocks supported a high population of the nematode.

This research was performed first to recover oomycete species from infected apple roots and crowns, second, establish a reliable method for inoculation of apple rootstocks and third, evaluate disease resistance of some apple rootstocks in tissue culture media. Different infected samples were collected from the Horticultural Research Stations of Seed and Plant Improvement Institute in Karaj. Three Phytophthora cactorum isolates in addition to one Pythium sp. isolate were recovered out of 20 samples using semi selective media containing Carbendazim, Pimaricine and Rifampicin, 10 mg per liter each. Pathogenicity test was carried out on unripe pear fruits. For disease resistance evaluation experiments, five apple hybrid progenies (H1-H5) obtained through crossing between local genotype Morabbai mashhad and M9 plus the parents, M26, MM106 rootstocks and local genotype Azayesh were assessed to Phytophthora in tissue culture jars. Plant materials were micropropagated on QL media and inoculated with P. cactorum. The pathogen was amplified on the wheat grains so that the pathogen incited necrosis on the shoots inside the jars. The extent of necrosis was recorded after 18 days. Hybrid H5 was assessed as the most sensitive genotype to P. cactorum while hybrid H1 showed high level of resistance reaction. Manuscript profile -

Experimen MoreTo study the root structure and its morphological characteristics of winter and durum wheat cultivars, an experiment was carried out based on randomized completely design with four replications at faculty of Agriculture, Ilam University during 2013-2014. Experimental treatments consisted of six bread wheat cultivars (Sardari, Keras Sabalan, Nestor, Pistaz, Bahar and S83-3), four durum wheat cultivars (Karkheh, Dena, Sora and Saji). Traits under study were seminal roots, nodal roots, sub-nodal roots, number of total roots, seminal roots length, nodal and sub-nodal roots, total root lengths, root dry weight, root volume and root to shoot ratio. The results showed significant differences for root structure of bread wheat cultivars (Sardari, Keras Sabalan and Nestor). They had stronger root system than the other bread wheat cultivars.It was also found that Saji from durum and Sabalan cross from bread wheat cultivars had the highest number of total roots (seminal, nodal and sub-nodal roots), root length total (seminal, nodal and sub-nodal roots), root volume and root/shoot ratio as compared with the other cultivars under study. Orthogonal contrast for three groups of genotypes indicated that in terms of number and length of nodal roots, bread wheat cultivars showed higher values as compared to durum wheat cultivars.

The purpose of this research was estimating annual soil erosion using anatomical changes in exposed roots of Carpinus Orientalis in Hassan abad valley, Chaloos, Iran. For this purpose, we select eight Carpinus Orientalis trees as quite random and cut their exposed roots. Moreover the geographic coordinates of trees, the slope intensity and direction, altitude and percentage of vegetation has been written. Cross-sections of 20 µm were prepared using microtome and the first year of exposure by erosion was identified. We finally estimated the mean annual erosion. The statistical relationship of the mean annual erosion with the percentage of the plant coverage, geographical aspects and slopes were investigated. The mean erosion of the study area has been estimated around 0.4 mm per year. There was positive relationship between annual erosion and slope density and negative relationship between the annual erosion and percentage of the plant coverage. The samples obtained in southern aspect showed higher annual erosions. We concluded that anatomical changes of exposed roots (Dendrogeomorphology) of Carpinus Orientalisare valuable tools to date erosion events, however, the responses of diverse species under different types of erosion remains to be studied in future.

Meanwhile, in some pomegranate orchards, salinity stress is one of the abiotic stresses that harm agricultural crops such as pomegranate production by reducing productivity. This research aims to compare growth characteristics between selected genotypes including 1- Chah Afzal 2- Vahshi Babolsar, 3- Narak Lasjerd Semnan 4- Poost Siahe Yazd, 5- Malase Yazdi, 6- Rababe Neyriz, under salinity stress, in a randomized complete block design with three replicaions at Chah Afzal research station of Ardakan city. During the whole experiment, the trees were irrigated with saline water with salinity of 9 ± 0.5 dS/m every 12 days. Based on the results of this research and considering the lowest amount of ion leakage, the highest content of relative humidity and potassium, the high amount of total chlorophyll, carotenoid and leaf surface ratio, the lowest sodium to potassium ratio and necrosis percentage Chah Afzal genotype showed very good resistance to salinity conditions, followed by Poost Siahe Yazd, Vahshi Babolsar, Narak Lasjerd, Malase Yazdi and finally Rababe Neyriz were highly sensitive to salinity. According to the results of cluster analysis, the highest similarity between genotypes based on the parameters mentioned above was between the Narak Lasjerd and Malase Yazdi. The highest difference between Chah Afzal genotype and other genotypes was registered. This shows a significant difference in the superiority of Chah Afzal genotype over other genotypes in total traits. Therefore, due to the compatibility and proper growth of these genotypes in saline conditions, it is suggested that they could be used as a rootstock and the cvs. Malase Yazdi and Rababe Neyriz, which also produced flowers and fruits in saline conditions, can be grafted on them.

Mahdieh neighborhood faces with problems such as skeletal deterioration of buildings, and social, cultural and environmental issues. It is introduced as an ineffective neighborhood in Shahrekord and recreation in the neighborhood with the participation of grassroots organizations, Nongovernmental organizations and the support of government institutions seems necessary. This article aims to address strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in this neighborhood by using the potential of Nongovernmental organizations. It also aims to provide some strategies to improve the current situation and recreate Sustainability of the neighborhood. Desired information in this research is provided in the form of library, documentary, interviews and field studies. The results indicate that the role of external factors in the failure of the inefficiency of Mahdieh neighborhood is more than internal factors and aggressive strategy are suggested. Based on Qspm model, the best strategies in order of preference, are using the potential of councils, increasing the role of public participation, and creating applications that are needed in the neighborhood.

A Split Plot experimental design was used, with each rootstock/scion combination as an experimental unit. Total yield, fruit size distribution, number of fruit, and fruit weight were recorded. Fruit quality parameters including soluble solids concentration (SSC), blush color development, and flesh firmness were also measured. On average, Cadaman yielded the greatest fruit weight and number of fruit, compared with the control, followed by GxN 15, Atlas and GF 677 to a lesser degree, while Viking was similar to the Nemaguard control, and MRS 2/5 yielded less than the control. There were no great differences between the rootstocks and the control with respect to fruit size and weight, although the most vigorous, Cadaman and GxN 15, were significantly higher (190.1 and 197.2 g, versus 179.5, respectively). For fruit quality parameters, Viking had the highest accumulation of SSC with respect to Nemaguard and MRS 2/5 had the highest percentage of blush color compared with the control. For flesh firmness at harvest, GF 677 was the firmest and MRS 2/5 was the softest. Manuscript profile -

Factors comprised cultivars in five levels (Supernova, Texas, Marcona, Shokoufeh and K13-40), rootstocks in Three levels [peaches × almonds hybrids (GF-677 and GN-22), and bitter almond seedlings NO. 32], and drought stress in four levels (irrigation intervals were 3(Control), 5, 10 and 15 Days). The results showed that the interaction of three factors for chlorophyll fluorescence parameters include maximum (Fm), variable (Fv) and variable to maximum (Fv/Fm), electrolyte leakage and releate water content(RWC) of leaves at 1% probability level, and interaction effects of rootstock × cultivar for chlorophyll b and a/b as well as cultivar × drought stress for a/b were significant at 5% probability level. Also, interaction effects of rootstock × drought stress were significant for all evaluated traits except a/b at 1% probability level. Drought stress reduced Fv by increasing Fo and decreasing Fm, and reduced Fv/Fm in sensitive cultivars on seedling and GN-22 rootstocks from 0.82 to 0.67. As a general result, all of the cultivars on the GF-677 rootstock showed greater resistance to drought stress. Supernova and Shokofeh cultivars grafted on GF-677 rootstock were most resistant rootstock - scion compounds, but other rootstock-scions compounds, were sensitive to drought stress.

In this regards a greenhouse experimentation carried out as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications and three levels of salinity (0, 80 and 120 mM NaCl), and four levels of hydrogen peroxide ( 0, 25 , 50 , 80 mM). Hydrogen peroxide caused an increase of Catalase and ascorbate peroxidase in wheat seedling under salinity condition. This increase was associated with reducing the damage of free radicals in produced wheat. Under salinity stress pre-treated wheat with hydrogen peroxide had higher chlorophyll and relative water content. Also Hydrogen peroxide reduced the negative effect of salinity on water, height and root dry weight of wheat seedling. There was no significant effect of hydrogen peroxide on ionic leakage. Overall seed priming with hydrogen peroxide improves the physiological and biochemical characteristics of wheat and increase its resistance to salt stress conditions. Manuscript profile -

34 - The Effects of Various Concentrations of IBA Hormone on Rooting of ‘TF92’; New Peach-Almond Hybrid under Ex- vivo and In - vitro Conditions
Ruhollah Haghi Ali Imani Ali Torkashvand Marzieh Ghanbari JahromiOne of the main problems of fruit cultivation, especially peaches and almonds, is the lack of the application of the existing clone rootstocks such as the promising hybrid of peaches and almonds and its unavailability due to its propagation in Iran. So the seedling root MoreOne of the main problems of fruit cultivation, especially peaches and almonds, is the lack of the application of the existing clone rootstocks such as the promising hybrid of peaches and almonds and its unavailability due to its propagation in Iran. So the seedling rootstocks are inevitably used. However these rootstocks cause many problems for the growers due to the lack of uniformity. In order to solve this problem, the effect of different concentrations of indole butyric acid on the rooting of hardwood cuttings ‘TF92’ (promising hybrid of peach and almond) was tested in a private sector greenhouse in Karaj equipped with a heating pad during 2019. In this paper, the effect of 4 different levels of indole butyric acid hormone (IBA) 0, 1500, 2500 and 3500 parts per million in solution on hardwood cuttings was studied in a completely randomized design in three replications. The results showed that there was a significant difference between various concentrations of indole butyric acid in terms of the effect on the characteristics of the mode of investigation such as the percentage of rooting, the number of roots formed, the dry weight of the roots, the length of the roots and the length of the resulting branches in the cuttings. Thus the highest rooting percentage (78.45) was found in the indole butyric acid (IBA) hormone treatment with a concentration of 2500 mg L-1 compared to other treatments. Therefore, this method can be recommended as a suitable treatment for the rooting of wood cuttings of this promising emerging rootstock. Also, the highest percentage of rooted plantlets was obtained on Murashige and Skoog medium (MS) supplemented with 1 mg L-1 IBA. According to this study, the concentrations of 1 mg L-1 IBA results in the maximum rooting, and it has been suggested as a suitable hormone for in vitro rooting of ‘TF92’. Manuscript profile -

To understand the historical culture and manners of a nation, the proverbs are of basic matters which have serious values. Most of the proverbs, in addition to have real illustration of people's life, are the indications of mutual impact in the different ethnic cultures. Meanwhile, the effect of the Arabic and Persian cultures on each other, because of their contiguity, commercial relations, acceptance of Islam by Iranians, Arabs' dominance on great parts of Iran, is undeniable. We have selected some fairly important Arabic and Persian proverbs in this research and studied their themes, origin and their similarities and dissimilarities. Manuscript profile -

First factor was rootstock (Rosa canina L., R. indica var. Major, R. multiflora L.) and second factor was 11 IBA concentrations including 0, 25, 50, 250, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000 ppm. The results showed that in R. indica ‘Major’ rootstock and 25 ppm IBA had highest rooting percentage. Maximum root number was observed in R. Indica ‘major’with 25 and 500 ppm IBA and the minimum number belonged to the control. High callus production was observed in 0, 5000 and 2000 ppm IBA. R. multiflora L. had highest shoot length compared to other rootstocks. According to results R. indica ‘Major’ and 25, 250, 1000 ppm IBA improved the success of stenting technique. Manuscript profile
