Many factors influence on employees' intention to report organizational wrongdoings. Personality and situational variables are the most influential factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between situational variables (characteristics of wrongdoing, the status of wrongdoer) and individual variables (attitude towards whistleblowing, internal locus of control, and moral identity) with the employees' intention to blow the whistle. Method: This is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study that was conducted on 242 employees of the Central department of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. A questionnaire that is made based on previous studies was used to collect the data. Analysis of the data processed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) with Smart PLS software. Results: The amount of standardized coefficients between independent variables and whistleblowing intention were statistically significant (P <0.005), meaning that the internal locus of control, the existence of moral identity, attitude toward whistleblowing, characteristics of wrongdoing and wrongdoer's status have positive and significant effects on individual's decision to report the wrongdoings. Conclusion: Given that individuals with internal locus of control, positive attitude about whist blowing and high morality cannot be able to ignore the organizational wrongdoings, and the status of wrongdoer and characteristics of wrongdoing have significant effects on employees' willingness to whistleblowing, it is better for organizations to use employees with these characteristics at more sensitive or critical places, and make some arrangements such as providing reporting channels in order to facilitate this behavior.

But over time, new issues have arisen about this legal-juridical institution that needs to be further explored, while Iran's law has not discussed expeditiously, contrary to Islamic jurisprudence, and this abbreviation has led to the creation of many ambiguities that unfortunately have not been answered by lawyers. The specificity of Wills institution; in view of the fact that the beginning of the testator assignment is related to the time after the death of testator, and at that time there is no longer any time in which to decide on the issues of authority in the task of determining and deciding; caused doubling the importance and necessity of the discussion about the assignment of these ambiguities. In the present study, the traits and requirements for the executor will be known and different views will be examined in this regard, after which the guarantee for the lack of necessary conditions and the valid time for having them, will be determined. Eventually the result of the research is that in addition to the general conditions, the executor must be sure and trustworthy and, in some cases, be Muslim, and the existence of other conditions in him (except in the manner specified by testator) is not necessary.

In this regard, the aim of the present study is to evaluate the morphological and biochemical traits in the seedlings of four early and late potato cultivars under in vitro conditions.Materials and methods: Four commercial varieties of potato were cultivated as single-node microspecimens in MS culture medium without any plant growth regulators. Seedlings grew after 5 weeks. Seedlings were evaluated in terms of morphological traits (number of seedlings produced from one seedling, stem length, number of branches, nodes, roots and micro-gland) as well as biochemical traits (chlorophyll a, b, carotenoid, anthocyanin, catalase enzyme activity and polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity).Findings: In morphological traits, late cultivar Satina, number of seedlings and stem length, and early cultivar Sante showed more roots than other cultivars. In the study of biochemical traits, the late cultivar Agria was superior to other cultivars in terms of the amount of pigments and catalase enzyme.Conclusion: In the same vegetative conditions, different cultivars have different potential in vegetative and biochemical traits. The growth pattern of different genotypes is determined by the synthesis of food and different levels of internal hormones and the balance between them, and as a result, they give different responses to the conditions of the culture environment. The present study showed that in the same vegetative conditions, the early cultivars of Satina in terms of vegetative traits and Agria in terms of the amount of pigments can be selected for mass cultivation.

The sample consisted of 351 females who were selected by random clustered sampling from high school students in Alborz province. Research instruments were the NEO Personality Inventory (MacCrae and Costa, 1985) and Self-efficacy Scale (Sherer at.al, 1982). The result showed that conscientiousness of mothers was the only predictive variable which could predict daughters' self-efficacy. Regression coefficient of self-efficacy (&beta=0.226) showed a positive relationship between mothers conscientiousness with their daughters self-efficacy (P < 0.002). Also the average score of girls with regression coefficient (&beta=0.330) represented a significant and positive correlation and their self-efficacy (P < 0.0001), and maternal age with regression coefficient (&beta=-0.105) indicated a significant and negative correlation with daughters’ self- efficacy (P < 0.37). Therefore, considering the effect of both mothers’ role of responsibility and low maternal age gap with daughters on the self-efficacy of their daughters, it is necessary to increase self-efficacy of daughters by enriching the responsibility resources of mothers and encouraging mothers to have children at young age.

Since farming techniques to control the disease is not completely effective, cultivars with genetic resistance to the disease are recommended. In order to identify resistant cultivars experiment in that randomized complete block design with three replications and 12 trkeatments, including different cultivars of beans. By method at a concentration suspension inoculation of root drench were inoculated. In root drench method suspension spores of pathogen because of healthy roots a lower percentage of spores could penetrating in roots. So it was far less severe symptoms and can say all cultivars has same statistical group and were resistant and infected cultivars tolerant. Considering the fact that the disease causes yellowing and wilting the factors concentration of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid concentrations and chlorophyll total concentrations were measured with evaluating resistant and tolerant cultivars were identified. Accordingly, cultivars Sayad and E9 respectively than other cultivars showed more resistant to the disease. Then the reaction is different bean cultivars to fungal F. oxysporum f.sp. phaseoli were evaluated using specific marker SCAR. According to cultivars Akhtar, Naz, Sadri, Sayad, E9 and WA with primer pairs SU20 have a band of 750 bp and A55 are resistant gene but cultivars Talash, Shekofa, Jegari, Aje, Khomeyn and capsules with specific primer pairs SU20 did not produce band.

Treatments consisted of removing leaves and a part of the cob at three levels of no remove (control), removing half of the cob after pollination, and removing two upper and lower leaves of the cob after pollination as. The second factor comprised seven maize varieties including SC704, Kansor, Kordona, Karaj 703, Koosha, Fajr, and Danial 690. After preparing the substrate in the first and second years, seeds of different varies were planted in the plots based on the treatments. Leaf and cob defoliation treatments were applied after pollination. The results showed that the highest contents of chlorophyll a (98.46 mg/g fresh weight, FW), chlorophyll b (138.7 mg/g FW), carotenoids (74.33 mg/g FW), and anthocyanin (1.915 mg/g FW) were obtained in the SC704 variety under combined treatment of defoliating two upper and lower leaves of the cob. The highest amount of catalase (58.73 mg protein/min) was recorded in Fajr variety in the control, but peroxidase (173.4 mg protein/min) and polyphenol oxidase (64.7 mg protein/min) activities were uppermost in the Koosha variety of the control treatment.

This experiment was conducted in a factorial design with inoculation of two types of fungi, Trichoderma and mycorrhiza, at four levels: inoculation with Trichoderma, inoculation with Mycorrhizal, inoculation with both fungi, and the control, in three replicates. The experiment was performed in two crop years (2020 to 2022) in a research farm. After the physiological maturity of the parts, 10 shrubs from each treatment were randomly selected, and the macro- and micro-elements and the percentage of oil and protein were measured according to the standard method. Based on the results, chlorophyll a and b, the number of branches, dry weight, leaf area, pod length, stem diameter, number of pods per plant, number of nodes per stem, and height from soil to the first pod were higher in the soybean grown in soil containing double inoculation of the fungi than the other treatments and the controls. The yield was 1.98, 2.14, 2.85, and 1.7 tons per hectare, respectively. Protein content was 40.31, 42.74, 43.04, and 39.89%, and oil content was 2487, 25.24, 25.94, and 24.17%, respectively. The contents of macro- and micro-elements in soybean leaves and seeds were significantly higher in the biological fertilizer containing the two types of fungi than others. Given soybean's relatively wide area of cultivation in Mazandaran Province (Iran), the confirmed benefits of these fungi in improving the plant's growth and development, and the necessity of preserving production resources, the studied fungi can be a suitable alternative to chemical fertilizers.

The research method of this study is structural equation correlation. The studied population included all female heads of families covered by Izeh city between May and July 1401 in the number of 1300 cases. 230 female heads of the family were selected based on JPower software as a purposeful sampling. To collect data, Beck and McDonald (2004) Trust in God questionnaires, Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale (1988), McCree and Costa (1989) five-factor personality scale, and Goldberg's General Health (1972) were used. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (path analysis). The analysis results confirmed the fit of the hypothetical research model. Path analysis coefficients showed that trust in God and social support have a direct effect on public health. Among the personality traits: neuroticism has a negative effect on public health, and extroversion, adaptability, responsibility, and empiricism have a direct and significant effect on public health. Also, trust in God and social support through personality traits have an indirect effect on general health. Therefore, it can be said that there is a relationship between trust in God and social support with general health, and this relationship can be moderated by the role of personality traits.

The way of collecting data and model processing was investigated by using structural equation modeling analysis method and AMOS 24.0 software and Maximum Likliehood Estimation (M).ConclusionThe result shows that the path coefficient between personality openness and creativity mediated by intelligence is positive (β=0.124 , p<0.01) and it is significant at the level of 0.01. Although the path coefficient between personality conscientiousness and creativity mediated by intelligence was not significant at the level of 0.05 (β=0.042, P=0.070)Despite this, aforementioned inderect path coefficient was significant at the level of 0.07, which is a valuable finding. Accordingly, it was concluded in the forth test that intelligence mediates positively and significantly the relationship, between personality traits openness and [with a little negligence] conscientiousness with creativity, which the indirect path coefficient between personality openness and creativity (β=0.154, P<0.01) in one hand, and the indirect path coefficient between personally conscientiousness, on the other hand, is positive and significant at the level of 0.01. This suggests that the two variables of intelligence and knowledge mediate the relationship between the two factors of openness and conscientiousness with creativity. Manuscript profile -

The Zanjan University’s students in the academic year 2016-2017 have been selected as the statistical population. The research sample consisted of 489 people (277 females and 212 males) who are selected by cluster random sampling method. To summarize the data, a short form of the NEO-FFI Questionnaire, the Academic Resilience Scale (ARI), the Shatte Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, a researcher-made questionnaire on attitudes toward education and career prospects are used. The proposed model was evaluated by structural equation modeling using AMOS-7 software. The results showed that the population-cognitive variables negatively predict academic achievement. Among the personality factors (openness and conscientiousness), emotional intelligence and interest in education and career prospects positively predict academic achievement. Emotional intelligence also predicts academic achievement through resilience. Educational resilience does not mediate the relationship between attitudes toward education and career prospects, gender, age, and academic achievement, and academic resilience mediates only the relationship between personality performance and academic achievement. Therefore, in order to improve the performance of students, it is recommended to teach and promote the level of resilience and emotional intelligence, conscientious personality traits and openness through workshops.

The population was the university students of Tehran that 520 people were selected from the universities of Allameh Tabataba’i, Tehran, south branch of Payam-e-Noor & south branch of Islamic Azad through voluntary sampling. The research tools was include the NEO-FFI, perfectionism Multidimensional Questionnaire, General self-efficacy Questionnaire, classroom motivational scale, Jones & Rhodewalt academic self-handicapping Questionnaire, Rosenberg self-esteem Questionnaire. The data were analyzed using structural equations modeling. The findings provided a robust support for the hypothesized structural relationships and show that personality traits, perfectionism, self-esteem, academic performance and academic motivation could directly affect academic self-handicapping and self-efficacy could indirectly affect academic self-handicapping with the mediating effects of academic performance. Also personality traits and perfectionism could indirectly affect academic self-handicapping with the mediating effects of academic performance and academic motivation. With the increase in neuroticism and by reducing the openness experience, academic self-handicapping will likely emerge and also high level of self-esteem, self-efficacy and academic motivation Will lead to lower levels of academic self-handicapping but high level of perfectionism and academic performance Increases the academic self-handicapping behaviors.

The research method was correlational, structural equation modeling type and the data was analyzed using SPSS version 26 and AMOS version 24 software.Findings: The findings of Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between Machiavellianism with rejection sensitivity, shame with the dimensions of latent marital aggression including love withdrawal and social sabotage, but there is no significant relationship between narcissistic personality and rejection sensitivity, shame, love withdrawal and social sabotage. Anti-socialism had a positive and significant relationship with rejection sensitivity, shame and social sabotage; but it was not related to love withdrawal. Also, there is a positive and significant relationship between rejection sensitivity and shame with love withdrawal and social sabotage. The findings of structural equation modeling showed that Machiavellianism, anti-socialism, rejection sensitivity and shame positively predict love withdrawal and social sabotage. Narcissism has no direct or indirect effect on love withdrawal and social sabotage. The findings provide a deeper understanding of the mediating role of rejection sensitivity and shame in the relationship between Machiavellianism and anti-socialism with love withdrawal and social sabotage among women. From the results of this study, it can be concluded that women's rejection sensitivity and shame in relation to dark triad personality traits of Machiavellian and antisocial personality are related to latent marital aggression.

In supplementary irrigation conditions, these traits showed higher values as compared to those of rainfed condition. The application of supplementary irrigation resulted in reduced leaf and canopy temperatures. The coefficients of simple correlation between the traits, for both of the rain-fed and supplementary irrigation systems, indicated that cell membrane stability, flag leaf length, straw yield, relative water content, 1000 seed weight, chlorophyll content, leaf and canopy temperatures were maximally correlated with the seed yield. Traits like straw yield and flag leaf length were inserted into the regression model of rainfed irrigation condition and traits such as the straw yield, flag leaf length, relative water content and spike yield were also inserted into the regression model of supplementary irrigation condition the results demonstrated that the former traits accounted for 0.741 of the seed yield variations and the latter traits explained 0.899 of the seed yield variation. Path coefficient analysis showed highest positive direct effect on seed yield in rain-fed condition, and straw yield and flag leaf length, relative water content, flag leaf length and spike yield in supplementary irrigation condition. Based on the results of this study, straw yield was found to be the most important indicator to select for higher yielding varieties of wheat under both rainfed and supplementar irrigation conditions.

Wheat as a strategic agricultural products faces water deficiency in most areas of the country. Therefore, identification of the resistant varieties to drought stress is one of main aims for breeders. To assess effect of drought stress at heading on 72 spring wheat recombinant inbred lines derived from American Yecora Rojo (high yielder, dwarf and early maturity) as paternal parent and Iranian No. 49 line (tall and late maturiting) as maternal parent cross were studied. The experiment was conducted at the Research Station of the University of Tabriz using a randomized complete block design with two replications during 2009 growing season. Based on the results from combined analysis of variance significant difference was observed among lines for all of traits studied, except for harvest index, grain number per spike and days to heading. There was significant difference between normal and drought stress conditions. Since the interaction between line and conditions was insignificant for all traits, it does therefore, provide the possibility of comparing the lines without regard to irrigation levels. Based on the means of, the traits it was found that the lines 96, 122, 123 and 155 were superior. MP, GMP and STI indices were recognized to be suitable indices to identify superior lines. With respect to these indices, lines 96, 122, 123, 138, 149 and 155 were found superior as compared with remaining lines. Based on stepwise regression analysis of grain yield with other traits, respectively grain number per spike, number of spikes/m2 and 1000 kernel weight were inserted into final model as effective variables on grain yield, which made 81/9 percent of the grain yield variation. Path analysis of grain yield and related traits, based on stepwise regression, demonstrated the significant positive direct effect for grain number per spike, number of spikes/m2 and 1000 kernel weight on grain yield. Cluster analysis, also showed that, lines under study were grouped into two clusters; superior lines for studied traits assigned to group one. Manuscript profile -

The first factor was amino acid (Botamisol 45%) at two levels (application and non- application) and the second factor was iron fertilizer in five levels: without iron fertilizer (control), the soil application, the foliar application, the soil + foliar applications, the soil + foliar applications. The results of variance analysis showed that all of the attributes studied were affected by using both amino acid and iron containing fertilizer (nano and chelate) significantly at the 1% level of probability. Mean comparisons also showed that the attributes under study positively responded to amino acid applications. The soil and foliar applications of iron nano particles were higher effective. This indicates that application of iron nano particles were more effective on desired attributes than iron chelate application. Amino acid and iron fertilizer interactions indicated that traits like protein and iron percentage, average weight of tuber, biological yield and marketable yield responded quite positively to amino acid and nano-iron foliar and soil applications.

The experiment was split plot based on randomized complete block design, with 3 replications. The main plots consisted of four irrigation regimes: I1, I2, I3 and I4 indicating irrigation after 60, 100, 140 and 180 mm evaporation from class A pan respectively and 3 soybean cultivars named Linford, L17 and Williams assigned in the sub plots. Results of combined analysis showed that with increasing irrigation intervals from I1 to I4 reduced growth period, plant height and leaf area index (LAI), number of nodes, branches and internodes significantly. Physiologic characteristics such as chlorophyll contain of leaves and relative water content (RWC) were also affected by irrigation regimes. LAI in I1 was 4.94 reduced inI4to 3.70.Plant height of soybean cultivars were declined by 21% in I4 (irrigation after 180 mm evaporation) as compared to I1 (irrigation after 60 mm evaporation). Soluble proline content of the leaves and electric conduction (EC) on the other hand increases significantly. There was significant differences among cultivars concerning the vegetative and physiological characteristics. Willams and L17 cultivars produced the highest numbers of nodes (15.5) and internode length (4.95cm) receptivity. The maximum proline content (65.6 µmol/F.W) and relative water content (67.65%) belonged to Linford cultivar. Interaction of irrigation regimes and cultivars was significant on plant hieght, LAI and proline content. Linford cultivar had more soluble proline under water limited condition and maintained higher LAI and plant height in I4 treatment as compared other treatments. Manuscript profile -

The results of variance analysis indicated that there were among the lines and cultivars under study for plant height, the number of spikelet per spike, the number of grain per spike, the weight of grain per spike, weight of internode, spike length and the weight of spike at 1% probability level and for grain yield at 5% in probability. This shows that there was genetic variability among the genotypes for traits under study. The line of Zrn/shiroodi was found to be highest producer (9422 kg/ha). Results of back Ward regression method indicated that the number of spike per squared meter, the weight of other internodes and spikelet height accounted 15.5 of variations for grain yield. Results due to path analysis indicated that the grain yield was increased by increasing spike length (0.749) and the number of spike in squared meter (0.442). Cluster analysis using Ward method, based on the traits under study divided the genotypes into two groups. Thus it can be concluded that traits under study can be used in breeding programs to select promising and high yielding wheat genotypes. Manuscript profile -

In order to identify physiological traits associated with drought tolerance, 52 bread wheat varieties were cultured under two normal and drought stress condition in a randomized complete block desigen with three replications. RWC (in three independent times), leaf rolling, leaf silvering, days to flowering, days to maturity and stem reserve remobilization were investigeted. Also in a pot experiment osmotic adjustment of the varieties were measured at seedling stage. varieties Star and Bezostaya had the highest RWC (0.79 and 0.78, respectively). Osmotic adjustment in Rasol and Unknown11 were highest (0.58 and 0.56, respectively). Varieties Tipik, Unknown11 and Azar2 showed the least decrease in thousand grain weight after spraying with KI (4.8, 5.5 and 5.5, respectively). Also varieties Dez, Gaspard and MV-17 have the highest degree of leaf silvering and varieties Niknejad, Star and Kohdasht under drought stress were able than the other varieties bring their leaves to form a rolling and cope with water deficit. Under drought stress, Varieties Alborz, Zagros and Inia were observed premature than the other varieties and Gaspard and Kaslojen varieties were observed late mature than the other varieties. Altogetehr varieties Kohdasht, Star and Bezostaya can be used as genetic resources for leaf water retention under drought stress condition for imjproving other varieties. Also as Azar2 and Unknown11 had highest amount of thousand grain weight under normal condition and simoultanously showed high ability in stem reserves remobilization they can be selected as parents in crosses for improving these traits.

With this approach, a statistical experiment was set up in split-plot based on randomized complete block design with three replicates during 2015 and 2016 cropping seasons. The experiment took place in College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Tehran. Experimental treatments scheduled on three planting dates: (21st April, 11th May and 31th May) and four irrigation regimes: I100: 100%ETc, I80: 80%ETc, I60: 60%ETc and I40: 40%ETc, based on plant water need. The highest value of water productivity of economical yield (1.19 kg.m-3) and the greatest value of water productivity of biological yield (1.03 kg.m-3) obtained in early-planting date in both years, respectively. Path analysis showed that ear weight with direct effect (1.27) and water productivity of biological yield (0.973), positively contributed to the final yield determination under irrigation regimes I100 and I60, respectively. According to principal component analysis (PCA), the variables such as grain yield, ear weight, biological yield, total number of grain, kernel weight and harvest index as agronomic traits in PC1 and water productivity of economical yield and biological yield as physiological traits in PC2 were accounted for 70% of the final yield variations in total. Due to interactions of planting date and irrigation level on the grain yield (p ≤ 0.01), early planting of grain maize and deficit irrigation management as early season strategies will have great potential to achieve optimal yield and higher water productivity by mitigating early abiotic factors.

During growth period and after harvesting, some of the characteristics like plant height, main stem number, tuber weight per plant, tuber number per plant, marketable tuber yield and tuber dry matter percent were measured. The combined analysis of variance indicated that the effect of genotype on all of the traits under study was highly significant (p < 0.01). The interaction effect for year×location (Y×L) was significant for all traits under study except for tuber number per plant. The interaction effect for genotype×year (G×Y) was significant for all traits under study except for main stem number per plant and tuber dry matter percent. The interaction effect for genotype×location (G×L) was highly significant for all studied traits (p < 0.01). The interaction effect for genotype×location×year (G×L×Y) was highly significant for tuber number per plant and plant height (p < 0.01). Cluster analysis divided 15 genotypes into three clusters. The first cluster consisted of hybrids G1 (clone 16-75), G3, (clone 15-75), G5 (clone 13-75) and G7 (clone 23-75). These hybrids had higher average marketable tuber yield, tuber weight per plant, tuber number per plant, tuber average weight, plant height and tuber dry matter percent as compared to the remaining genotypes. Based on “which-won-where” view of the GGL biplot, G5 (clone 13-75) was desirable in environments HN (Hamadan), and KJ (Karaj), whereas G1 (clone 16-75) and G8 (Savalan) were favorable in environment AL (Ardabil). According to results, hybrids G5 (clone 13-75), G7 (clone 23-75) and G1 (clone 16-75) were near to the ideal genotype and could be regarded as desirable genotypes. Manuscript profile -

Analysis of variance of the data collected showed that there were significant differences among genotypes for all traits studied under non-saline condition. But, differences of genotypes under saline condition were significant only for root yield, root potassium content, sugar extraction coefficient, impure and pure (white) sugar yields. Salinity stress, in this study, reduced root potassium content, root yield, sugar extraction coefficient, impure and pure (white) sugar yields. Mean comparisons of genotypes indicated that root yield of all genotypes, under non-saline condition, were higher than those of under saline one. As whole, genotypes number 1 and 2 produced higher root yields, impure and pure sugar yields respectively, under both saline and non-saline conditions. Based on the results obtained it was revealed that regression coefficients for the traits under study were significant. Step-wise regression and path coefficient analyses also indicated that traits like root yield, pure sugar and root nitrogen contents highly affected white sugar yield under non-saline conditions.

The experimental factors were: corm density in 3 levels (60, 120 and 180 corm per square meter) and biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers in 4 levels (without fertilizer application, 150 kg.ha-1 of Urea, 5 L.ha-1 of Nitroxin and 75 kg.ha-1 of Urea +5 L.ha-1 of Nitroxin). The results indicated that the corm density affects number of daughter corm, fresh daughter corm weight, corm diameter, dry stigma and style weight, dry and fresh flower weight significantly. Mean comparisons also indicated that by increasing corm density from 6o to 180, saffron dry yield of saffron improved by 2.7 fold. However, increasing corm density reduced corm diameter, fresh corm daughter weight and their numbers per square meter. It can be concluded that nitroxin as an organic fertilizer, increases vegetative traits and saffron dry yield (stigma + style weight) to 2.08 kg.ha-1 and highly improves in qualitative traits like Safranal, Picrocrocin, and Crocin. It can be also said that combined use of nitroxin and urea would be an alternative method to reduce application of urea. Manuscript profile -

Mean comparison of simple effects indicated that the plants treated with 120 kg.ha-1 nitrogen fertilizer and 20 t.ha-1 organic fertilizer vermicompost produced higher trait values under study than control (non application of vermincompost). Interaction effect of experimented factors was significant on all traits under evaluation. Thus, highest seed yield (1567 kg.ha-1), biological yield (6664 kg.ha-1) and essential oil yield (8.85 kg.ha-1) obtained by the application of 120 kg.ha-1 nitrogen fertilizer and 20 t.ha-1 varmicompost. Based on the results obtained it could be said that nitrogen and vermicompost may improve seed and biological yield and yield components of marigold. Manuscript profile -

This study, thus, was conducted with different levels of nano particles of titanium (0.01, 0.03 and 0.05%) and elemental titanium on its different growth stages (4-5 leaf, flowering and after flowering) with four replications in a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design at the Agricultural Field of Rement Village of Babol, Mazandaran, Iran, in 2012. Results showed that there were a significant differences between treatments of titanium, time of treatments and between their interactions. Among the traits under study, leaf fresh weight, leaf dry weight, stem fresh weigh at 1% and plant hight, stem dry weight, total plant fresh weight and total plant dry weight at %5 levels of probabilities showed significant differences for their interaction between different treatments of titanium and different stage of development. The highest plant height, leaf dry weight and plant fresh weight and plant dry weight were produced when nano particles of titanium applied after flowering stage. Where as, the highest fresh leaf, fresh stem weight and total plant fresh weights were obtained when plants treated with titanium at flowering stage. On the other hand, dry weight of flowering branches showed significant negative correlation with GPX antioxidant enzyme. The lowest GPX antioxidant enzyme was produced when nano particles of titanium were applied after flowering stage at 0.01% probability level. As a whole, the results of this experiment suggest that there are significant differences among titanium treatments when they are applied at different growth stages of this plant. This study also showed that application of nano particles of titanium after flowering of this plant increased its flowering branches. Manuscript profile -

In this study, drought tolerance of 19 wheat genotypes were evaluated by using UPGMA cluster analysis. To this end, the effect of drought stress on a number of related agronomic and physiological traits of wheat genotypes, belonging to three groups of sensitive, intermediate and drought tolerant, under three conditions of normal, moderate and severe drought stress were studied. A factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was performed. Traits like plant height, shoot fresh weight, spike length, awn length, shoot dry weight, seed yield and relative water content of genotypes were measured. Analysis of variance showed that the effects of drought on all traits except awn length were significant. Most of the traits were negatively affected by drought stress. Highest reduction was observed in grain yield. Cluster analysis grouped genotypes exposed to drought stresses in to three categories. Genotypes numbering 15, 13, 12, 16 and 17 expirienced low means in all of traits under study. The results also showed that the second and third groups, resulting from cluster analysis, were in agreement with the results of previous researches reported. The first cluster, however, was found to be inconsistent with their initial introduction grouping under severe drought stress conditions. Therefore, the initial grouping was consistent especially in most of sensitive and tolerant genotypes under severe drought stress conditions. Manuscript profile -

The experiment was conducted with two hundred and fifty six laying hens of commercial Hi-Line W-36 strain in a completely randomized design with 4 treatment and 4 replicates (16 laying hens in each replicate). Treatments included: (1) diet with amount of metabolizable energy recommended by NRC 1994 (as control group), (2) diet with 10% higher level of metabolizable energy than recommended by NRC 1994, (3) diet with 10% lower level of metabolizable energy than recommended by NRC 1994 and (4) diet with 15% lower level of metabolizable energy than recommended by NRC 1994 that were used for 10 weeks (from 41 to 51 weeks of age). The results indicated that the amount of feed intake was significantly different among treatments (p<0.05). The highest amount of feed intake (130.50 g) was observed in treatment four with 15% lower level of metabolizable energy than recommended by NRC 1994. The amount of feed price was also significantly different between treatments (p<0.05). The lowest feed price per kilogram of egg produced (5705 Rials) was observed in treatment four with 15% lower level of metabolizable energy than recommended by NRC 1994. There were no significant differences in egg traits among treatments. It can be concluded that using diets with 15% lower level of metabolizable energy than recommended by NRC 1994 in laying hens, can reduce feed costs without affecting egg traits. Manuscript profile -

The fruit samples were collected from two different fruit crops and some morphological and phytochemical traits were studied based on the specific descriptor and standard methods. The analysis of variance showed that there were some significant interaction between genotype and fruit type on length, width, and shape of the fruit, stalk and neck length, and pulp length, where there was observed no significant effect on the ostiole diameter. The results showed that the summer fruits were smaller than spring fruits and had lower amount of fruit length and diameter, stalk and neck length, and pulp length in most of the genotypes. Regardless of the genotype, the ostiole diameter was higher in spring fruits than summer fruits. The analysis of variance also showed that genotype and fruit type had significant interaction effects on flavonoid and anthocyanin but not on total soluble solids, titratable acidity and phenols. Summer fruits had higher amount of total soluble solids and titratable acidity but lower phenols. Kamalabad genotype also showed higher amount of total soluble solids and titratable acidity than other genotypes. In Golbahar genotype, the spring fruits had lower anthocyanin while this was lower in other genotypes. In contrast, in all genotypes under study spring fruits had higher amount of flavonoid.

Experimental factors included different strains of Pseudomonas flouresens bacteria (41, 169, 187 and control) and different levels of chemical priming (urea solution and Zinc sulfate solution as well as tap water). The results showed that the interaction effect of chemical and biological priming was significant for pods per plant, number of seeds per plant, green pod yield and yield and protein of grains. In this experiment the highest seed yield and green pod yield were obtained under no inoculation and priming with urea solution. Also, the effect of priming and bacteria inoculation on grain protein content was significant. However, bacteria inoculation showed significant effect only on seed phosphorous content so that, the greatest seed phosphorous contents was obtained under inoculation with strain 187 of bacteria. In general, the results of this research showed that low cast priming technique with urea solution enhanced seed yield of fava beans under field condition. Thus, urea priming technique can be recommended for seed yield improvement in fava beans grown in Guilan paddy fields. Manuscript profile -

This research was carried out based on a randomized complete block design for evaluation of the variations in some quantitative and qualitative properties of cornelian cherry fruits during the last stages of maturation in 2015. Fruits were harvested at 4 different times and from 4 main geographical directions of the tree and were then immediately transferred to the laboratory. Several parameters such as dimension (length and width), weight, firmness, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), total titratable acidity (TA), TSS/TA ratio, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), total phenolic compounds, total flavonoids, total anthocyanins, and total antioxidant capacity of the fruits were investigated. The results showed that the effect of different harvest dates on all traits was significant (P<0.05) while no significant differences were observed between replications. During fruit ripening, weight, dimension, pH, TSS, TSS/TA ratio, total flavonoids, and total anthocyanins increased while firmness, TA, total phenol, and total antioxidant capacity decreased. The content of ascorbic acid increased during fruits ripening, but it reduced again in the last harvest. The results indicate that the third harvest time (16.63 Brix level) can be the best harvest date for this genotype. Manuscript profile -

This research is aimed to evaluate the effects of climatic conditions on this disorder and other physiochemical traits of the fruit. The evaluation was done using a randomized complete block in a nested design with three replications. The influence of different regions (Azad Shahr, Bandar Gaz, Ghonbad, and AghGhala) on total fruit number, yield, and the percentage of disorder were significant. Results demonstrated that the most fruit number and yield belonged to Bandar Gaz while Azad Shahr had the lowest levels of these attributes. In addition, the highest disorder percentage was registered in Bandar Gaz, whereas no disorder was observed in Ghonbad and Agh Ghala. Data analysis in infected regions (Azad Ahahr and Bandar Gaz) revealed that region had a significant effect on some physical traits of fruits. Furthermore, the effect of type of fruit in region was significant on all chemical traits. Comparison of means showed that the highest fruit length, fruit diameter, stone weight, and stone length belonged to normal fruits of Azad Shahr. The highest soluble solid content was recorded in normal fruits of southwestern Bandar Gaz and the lowest soluble solid content was seen in normal fruits of northwestern Azad Shahr. Physical traits of fruits (weight, length, diameter, and the ratio of length to diameter) showed a significant correlation with physical traits of stone (length, diameter, the ratio of length to diameter, and stone thickness), and the weight of fruit flesh. Among physical traits, fruit weight, fruit length, fruit diameter, stone width, and stone thickness, and among chemical traits only total acidity had a significant relationship with pH.

The experiment was carried out in a factorial randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments included 3 irrigation regimes (D1: irrigation after 60 mm, D2: irrigation after 120 mm, D3: irrigation after 180 mm evaporation from small tub evaporation) and 5 sunflower cultivars (Azargol, Prograss, Gabur, Hysan 25, and Hysan 36). Results showed that under non-stress and moderate stress, Azargol and Prograss cultivars had the highest rate, in terms of seed filling period, the weight of 1000 grains, stem diameter, and head diameter. Under severe stress, Prograss and Gabur cultivars were remarkable, so that Prograss cultivar had the highest seed filling period, weight of 1000 grains, stem diameter, and Gabur cultivar had the highest number of budding, number of flowering, and stem diameter. In the study of physiological characteristics, results showed that under non-stress and moderate stress chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, and net-photosynthesis in cultivars Progerass and Gabor were significantly increased compared to other cultivars. In severe stress conditions, the Progress and Gabor cultivars in chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll content were superior to other cultivars. The results of proline analysis indicated that proline leaf content increased significantly with water stress. Among the cultivars under severe stress conditions, proline leaf content in Progerass and Gabor cultivars was significantly higher than other cultivars. The results of this study showed that Azargol, Gabor, and Progerass cultivars are more tolerant than Hysan 25 and Hysan 36. Manuscript profile -

Having a diversity of climates, Iran has a great variety of medicinal plants. Detecting the growth status of medicinal plants under drought stress conditions can lead to the cultivation of resistant plants in dry or semidry areas. In the present study, we investigated the morphological and physiological responses of ten ecotypes of the medicinal plant Teucrium polium L. native to southeastern Iran under drought stress. For this purpose, a factorial greenhouse experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications. In this experiment, moisture treatments of 100, 70, and 40% of field capacity were applied. Analysis of the data showed that the morphological traits under study including stem length and fresh and dry weight of shoots decreased by 5% with increasing drought stress. Drought stress also increased root length, proline content, and phenolic compounds while decreasing chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, and protein contents. The highest resistance to stress was shown by ecotypes growing in Sarcheshmeh and Kuhpayeh regions and the lowest resistance was shown by plants in Shahdad and Anbarabad regions. The results of the study indicated the relative resistance of this plant to drought stress. Therefore, it is a very suitable medicinal plant for cultivation in dry and low water areas of Iran. Among the studied ecotypes, the plants of Sarcheshmeh and Kuhpayeh regions responded 40% better to drought stress conditions and cultivation of these ecotypes in stressed areas can be recommended with more confidence.

In this research, effects of four levels of Nitrogen sources (100 % urea, nano-chelate nitrogen, 100% Panaromix biologic fertilizer, and 50% urea + 50 % Panaromix biologic fertilizer) along with three levels of Zinc sources (control or without application of Zn, zinc sulfate, and nano-chelate zinc) and interaction effects of hese sources were investigated on physiology and yield of wheat. The study was carried out by split-plot method based on completely randomized blocks design with 3 replications and 12 treatments in a private farm located in the north of Jelin, a city located 3 Km east of Gorgan, during the 2017-2018 crop year. Results showed that the traits under study were affected by the sources of nitrogen supply and the interaction effects of sources of the two elements but there was no significant difference under treatment with sources of zinc supply. In Nitrogen supply sources, the maximum leaf area and number, shoot length, chlorophyll b and chlorophyll (a+b) content, and nitrate reductase activity as well as biological and grain yield was related to 100% urea and 50% urea + 50% biologic fertilizer. In combined treatments with the interaction effects, the highest amount of proline was related to 100% biological fertilizer + nano-chelate zinc and in the treatments that were associated with increased proline, there was no increase in the soluble sugars and glycine betaine contents. The highest level of NR activity, chlorophyll a, and total chlorophyll (a+b) content, and also the highest level of grain performance and biological yield were observed in 100% urea + Zinc sulfate fertilizer treatment. The results showed that high yield of wheat in this treatment was a function of plant physiological behavior, showing a positive interaction between nitrogen and zinc. Manuscript profile -

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.

Pulegon as a main ingredient in mint has antimicrobial and aromatic properties which has been used to treatment of many diseases. In this study M. pulegium were collected from three natural habitats of Ziaber, Masal and Abkenard in the flowering stage in Guilan province. Also, rhizomes of habitat samples were cultivated in the research farm of Zanjan University in the same year. The rhizomes of the these populations were collected in the spring of 2017 and transferred to the research farm of Zanjan University. In the summer of the same year, flowering branches were harvested from natural habitates. The essential oil was extracted by using a Clevenger apparatus and water distillation and were and bused by GC and GC-MS. Results were showed that the polygon were highly varied in all populations, in which the highest and lowest content of pulegone was observed in cultivated population in Zanjan and Abkenar population with 54.43% and 40.19%, respectively. According to the results, the populations grown habitat were superior to morphological traits such as leaf length, plant height and number of internodes. A higher percentage of essential oil was observed in the cultivated population, it may be due to decrease in rainfall, an increase in altitude, as well as differences in latitude and longitude. The pulegon and camphene in Ziaber region had the highest amount with 49.17% and 11.84%, respectively, in Masal region, pulegon with 49.47% and gamaterpinen with 24.24% and in Abkenar region, pulegon (40.19%) and gamaterpinen (11.56%) were the most compounds. The high amount of these compounds in the studied populations indicates the high quality of essential oil in this medicinal plant. In this study, the cultivated populations had fewer compounds with a high percentage of the main compounds compared to other populations, so it seems they have more superiority and potential for breeding and domestication programs.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Thiobacillus biological and chemical fertilizers on morphological and phytochemical characteristics of this plant. The present study was carried out as a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the research farm of Golmakan town in 2019. Experimental treatments included Thiobacillus biological fertilizer (0, 5 and 12 kg/ha) and chemical fertilizer (0, 35 and 70 kg/ha). Plant essential oil was extracted from savory leaves at flowering stage by Clevenger apparatus, then the constituents of the essential oil were analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that all morphological traits of the plant as well as the quality and quantity of the active ingredients of the essential oil were affected by fertilizer treatments. The combined application of biological and chemical fertilizers led to an increase in the studied traits compared to the non-application of fertilizer. The highest plant height (48.8 cm), leaf dry weight (9.7 g) and essential oil density (3.67%) were obtained in the combined use of fertilizers. The two main constituents of savory essential oil including carvacrol (62.10%) and gamaterpinen (19.04%) showed the highest increase in the treatment composition of 12 kg/ha of Thiobacillus fertilizer and 70 kg/ha of chemical fertilizer (NPK). Based on the results, we found that combinations of biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer could increase the morphological characteristics, quantity and quality of savory essential oil.

Therefore, in order to evaluate the effectiveness of biofertilizers on changes in some physiological and biochemical traits, the effect of biofertilizers at four levels (nitroxin, super nitroplus, biophosphorus and non-use of biofertilizer) on Dracocephalum kotschyi growth under drought stress at three levels (irrigation until the completion of 80%, 60 and 40% of field capacity), an experiment in 1398 in the form of factorial in a completely randomized design with 3 replications in a greenhouse was carried out. The study of changes in photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll fluorescence and leaf relative water content in Dracocephalum kotschyi in response to various biofertilizers and different irrigation regimes showed that with increasing drought stress, chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll along with chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm) had a significant decrease. While the use of supernitroplus and biophosphorus biofertilizers in irrigation conditions up to 60 and 40% of field capacity significantly increased the above-mentioned traits in the Dracocephalum kotschyi leaves in comparison with plants treated with nitroxin fertilizer and control plants (Without biofertilizer). Increased drought intensity also caused a significant increase in carbohydrates, soluble proteins, anthocyanins and flavonoids, although the use of biofertilizers containing growth-promoting bacteria, further enhanced the amount of these compounds compared to the control (no fertilizer treatment). The highest levels of anthocyanins (37.82 mg g-1 fresh weight) and flavonoid compounds (16.62 mg g-1 fresh weight) were found in plants grown under severe drought stress (irrigation up to 40% of field capacity) and Biophosphorus application.

This plant was collected in the flowering stage in the first half of July 2017 and 2018 in different altitudes of the Zanjan region (from 1200 to 2400 meters above sea level) and the growth traits of plant organs including leaves, stems, flowers, and roots were measured. In autumn, at the end of the annual growth period of the plants, plant rhizomes were harvested to evaluate essential oil content and composition. The Clevenger device was used for 3 hours for essential oil extraction and the GS-MS device was used to identify the constituents of Inula helenium essential oil. The results showed that there were significant differences in all growth traits and essential oil depending on the altitude of the region. Although, the growth traits of Inula helenium such as leaf and stem dry weight, leaf width and length, leaf number, and plant height decreased with increasing altitude, but the rhizome dry weight and diameter, and essential oil content increased with increasing altitude. The essential oil components of I. helenium were changed with increasing altitude so that the content of geranyl acetone, verbanol, α-pinene, isoalantolactone and valencene increased with increasing altitude. Also, the content of α-selinene decreased and no changes were observed in the content of caryophyllene oxide and β-elemene with increasing altitude. In general, the results showed that altitude is an important and influential factor affecting Inula helium's quantitative and qualitative yield. Manuscript profile -

Based on data analysis and comparison between species and populations within each species, late lowering species such as A. linifolium and A. Stapfi had higher aerial and grain yield than early flowering species including dwarf alyssum (A. marginatum), desert Alyssum (A. desertorum), Araraty Alyssum (A.szowitsianum).The simple correlation between the studied traits showed that there was a positive correlation between plant height and aerial yield and grain yield. The rate of plant establishment was positively correlated with plant height and negatively correlated with the stems number. Result of principal component analysis (PCA) obtained three main components considering the eigenvalues greater than one that justified 90% of total variance. The results of cluster analysis led to the grouping populations into five groups. The species of A.stapfi, A. hirsutum and A.desertorum were placed in a one group. The studied populations provided a suitable genetic background for selecting superior populations with important traits from different clusters, so that they can be used in breeding improved varieties.

Methodology: This research is applied in terms of purpose, descriptive-correlation in terms of type of method and field in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of the present study includes all primary school teachers in Bostan Abad, whose number is equal to 380 people. Krejcie-Morgan table was used to determine the sample size and the sample was estimated to be 181 people. The sampling method is stratified random. To measure the variables, standard questionnaires were used: Kadozier (2012) professional ethics, Costa and McCrae (1992) personality traits, and Bardens and Metzkas (1969) leadership style. Data were analyzed using Spss20 and Lisrel software. Results: The results showed that leadership style has an indirect effect on professional ethics through the mediation of personality traits of primary school teachers in Bostan Abad. Therefore, it can be said that the relationship between the two variables of leadership style and professional ethics is intensified by the variable of teachers' personality traits, and if teachers' personality traits improve, this effect is stronger, and if teachers' personality traits are weakened, this relationship will naturally weaken. Conclusion: School principals should strengthen the components of personality traits in teachers by choosing the appropriate leadership style. Manuscript profile -

Bacteria such as Erwinia, Pectobacterium, and Klebsiella have a very wide host range and can play a pathogenic role for a large number of ornamental and agricultural plants or even establish a symbiotic relationship with the plant. This group of bacteria that cause all kinds of plant diseases are able to affect seed tubers and the soil microbial community. The objective of this investigation was to identify and classify the distinct symbiotic pathogens associated with Trifolium resupinatum plants obtained from the Shahreza region located in the southern part of Isfahan, Iran. In this investigation, T. resupinatum specimens harboring nodular root structures were initially identified and subsequently retrieved from various locations in the southern region of Isfahan (Shahreza), before being transported to the laboratory. The Yeast Mannitol Agar (YMA) medium underwent a cultivation procedure, subsequent to which the bacterial samples were subjected to molecular identification utilizing morphological and biochemical tests. Additionally, the colony-PCR technique was employed to achieve definitive identification. This study examined the molecular features of three distinct species namely Erwinia chrysanthemi, Pectobacterium carotorum, and Klebsiella oxytoca. It was revealed that the former two species exhibited a symbiotic pathogenic relationship with the T. resupinatum plant, while the latter species posed a threat to human health as a pathogen.

The study was correlative and predictive. The statistical population consisted of all the teachers of public high schools in central region of the city of Karaj. The sample included 160 teachers (83 male and 77 female) who were selected using multi-stage cluster sampling. The data were collected using Shearing's Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire, Neo’s Personality Traits Questionnaire, Hansen et al. Computer Anxiety Questionnaire and demographic questionnaire. The data were analyzed with the Pearson Correlation Coefficient, stepwise regression, and independent t test. The results indicated that there were significant negative relationship between computer anxiety with emotional intelligence components and with extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness (P<0.01). There was a significant positive relationship between computer anxiety and neuroticism (P<0.01). Stepwise regression results showed that among the components of the emotional intelligence, the variables self-motivation, self-awareness, empathy, and self-regulation, respectively, entered into the analysis as the predictor variables (totally %36). Among the personality traits, neuroticism and openness to experience had the highest degree of predicting, respectively (totally %16). In addition, no significant relationship was observed in the score of computer anxiety in terms of sex and age. Manuscript profile -

BW به طور مثبت و معنی­داری (05/0>P) با FI (73/0) و وزن تخم مرغ (54/0) همبسته بود. نتیجه گرفته می­شود که سن از نظر عددی بیشتر صفات کیفیت مورد مطالعه را کاهش داد، درحالیکه سویه اثر معنی­داری بر BW داشت و برخی از صفات کیفیت تخم مرغ در سویه ایسا بران دارای عملکرد بهتری نسبت به سویه نرا بلاک در مناطق جلگه­ای منطقه گینه شمالی در نیجریه هستند.

CLA در سطح 7 درصد باعث افزایش وزن کبد شد. تفاوتی در درصد لاشه، ران یا چربی حفره بطنی بین تیمارهای آزمایشی دیده نشد، با این جود، پرندههای تغذیه شده با جیره حاوی 7 درصد روغن ماهی دارای کمترین درصد سینه و بالاتری درصد کبد بودند. ارزیابی بافت شناسی روده کوچک مشخص نمود که جیره حاوی 5/3 درصد روغن ماهی + 5/3 درصد CLA باعث بالاترین ارتفاع ویلی در مقایسه با جیرههای حاوی 7 درصد روغن ماهی یا CLA شد. چنین افزایشی در عمق کریپت دودنوم و ژژنوم مشاهده گردید، اما تفاوتی در عمق کریپت ایلئوم دیده نشد. ضخامت دیواره روه کوچک و تعداد سلول گابلت در جوجههای تغذیه شده با جیره حاوی مخلوط روغن ماهی و CLA پایینتر از سایر تیمارها بود. نتایج این تحقیق نشان داد که یک دز بالا از روغن ماهی یا CLA میتواند بازدهی تولیدی جوجههای گوشتی را کاهش دهد، اما ترکیب آنها میتواند این اثر مضر را تعدیل نماید Manuscript profile -

The main plots were nitrogen rates at four levels (0, 40, 80 and 120 kg N/ha) and the sub-plots were plant densities at three levels (30, 40 and 50 plants/m2). The results showed that nitrogen rate had significant effect on fruit yield, essential oil percent and yield traits and interaction between nitrogen rate and plant density only affected fruit yield but change in plant density significantly affected all traits except essential oil percent. Means comparison showed that as N fertilization rate was increased from 0 to 80 kg N ha-1, plant height and fruit yield were increased by 19.8 and 74.1 %, respectively. Also, essential oil percent increased from 0.153 to 0.33% and essential oil yield was greater 2.68 times. Moreover, means comparison showed that the increase in plant density from 30 to 50 plants/m2, increased plant height, first fruit distance from ground, fruit and essential oil yield by 14.3, 27.6, 31.3 and 36.8%, respectively while stem diameter and branch number per main stem were decreased by 22.2 and 13.9%, respectively. Given the results of the study, the treatment of 80 kg N/ha application with the density of 50 plants/m2 recommended for the cultivation of coriander in Birjand, Iran. Manuscript profile -

Karoun 701), an experiment of split plot in randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in Varamin in year of 2015. Treatments included five planting dates as main factor (9th of April, 21th of May, 18th of June, 30th of June and 15th of July) and two harvesting times as sub-factor (milky stage and dough stage). The result showed that the effect of planting dates had significant at 1% level on the plant height, leaf width, leaf area, cob diameter and fresh yield. But had no significant effect on the number of leaf per plant, leaf length, number of internode per plant and stem diameter and were not affected by planting date. Results of this experiment showed that planting date of 30th of June was superior to other planting dates in terms of morphological traits such as plant height, leaf width, leaf area, cob diameter and fresh yield of plant compared to other planting dates, and the amount of the above traits with early and delay in planting are greatly reduced. In between, harvesting time at milky stage had the highest leaf width and leaf area and harvesting at dough stage had the highest fresh yield of plant. It is recommended to obtain optimum corn yield, sowing operations should be carried out in the first half of July in Varamin region and for harvesting quality forage at milky stage and to obtain greater harvest yield at dough stage.

Descriptive statistics of traits were estimated for consecutive generations by Minitab 14 software and Duncan test was used to compare traits’ averages. Also, regression coefficients of productive and behavioral traits from generations were estimated. Phenotype variances of traits were reduced by selection. Obvious improvement for population and viability traits and slight improvement for behavior and honey production traits were observed through selection. Regression coefficients of all traits from generation were positive with the exception of behavior. These regressions were significant for colony behavior, population, pollen and viability traits (p<0.05) and varied from -0.13 to 0.63. These results showed that the selection hasimproved viability, population and pollen traits and has had a slight effect on honey production in closed population of honeybee in Golestan province that could be a result of negative correlation between honey production and other traits.

After physiological maturation, fiber performance and quality traits were evaluated.protein and phylogenetic properties have been evaluated by bioinformatics tools. The results indicated that the highest yield with 1.2 kg was observed in 66% irrigation treatment. The highest fiber weight was observed in 66% treatment and the lowest in rainfed conditions. Seeds grown under 66% irrigation saved more water and produced potential seeds with high quality fibers. Bioinformatics analysis also revealed that the intracellular locations of CesA and XET1 enzymes are plasma membrane and cell wall, respectively. The enzymes CesA and XET1 belong to the protein family of transferases and hydrolase, respectively. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the sequences of both cotton enzymes with co-family genera were separated in the Malvaceae . It appears that in order to grow cotton seeds with desirable fibers in low water conditions and in dry areas, it is better to use seeds that are irrigated under optimal irrigation conditions (66%). by cultivating cotton seeds with about one third of the water requirement in three years, in addition to reducing the amount of water requirement and irrigation water consumption, better yields can be achieved.

In this study, changes in qualitative and chemical traits of two strawberry cultivars during 15 days of storage at 4 ° C were investigated. The results showed that the firmness of texture, the amount of soluble solids and the taste index in Kamaroza cultivar were significantly higher than Parus cultivar. The pH of both cultivars increased, while during these 15 days the amount of soluble solids and taste index in Parus cultivar increased significantly. Tissue stiffness and weight loss percentage in both cultivars showed a significant decrease during 15 days, but this decrease was more in Kamaroza cultivar. The studied qualitative and chemical traits as well as taste index in two strawberry cultivars were effectively changed during 15 days under the influence of cultivar type and storage period. These studies showed that the type of strawberry cultivar is a determining factor in terms of nutritional value and the content of natural compounds during storage and post-harvest conditions, so that Camarosa cultivar showed a special advantage over Parus cultivar in these respects. Low temperature storage seems to be an efficient way to preserve strawberry fruit. Manuscript profile -

Participants were students at Imam Khomeini International University in Ghazvin. Three hundreds and seventy students (172 males,198 females) were selected using stratified random sampling. The participants completed the Rapid Substance Abuse Assessment Questionnaire (Taremian, 2008) and the short form of the NEO Five Factor Inventory (Costa & McCrae, 1992). Using the Rapid Substance Abuse Assessment, the participants were divided into four groups: Non-substance abuser (group 1: n=205), substance abuser (group 2: n=77), former substance abuser (group 3: n=31), and dependents to substance (group 4: n= 33). The results of one-way analysis of variance indicated that there were significant differences in conscientiousness, agreeableness and neuroticism between groups. Non-abuser students were more agreeable and conscientious than substance abusers and substance dependents. Non-abuser students had lower scores in neuroticism in comparison with substance dependents. Also, there was no significant difference between the former substance abusers and the other three groups in all of the five factors. Overall, the findings suggest that the personality traits are one of the determinants of students’ tendencies to substance abuse and dependence. Manuscript profile -

Grade Point Averages (GPA) of the participants were used as indicators of academic achievement. The path analysis was conducted to test the direct and indirect effects of personality traits on thinking styles and academic achievement. The results showed the significant positive effects of openness on judicial, global, liberal and conservative thinking styles, neuroticism on executive, local and conservative thinking styles, conscientiousness on legislative and hierarchical thinking styles, and extroversion on global liberal, hierarchical and external thinking styles. But openness had a significant negative effect on conservative thinking style. Indirect effects of the following factors on the academic achievement were also significant: openness through judicial thinking style, neuroticism through executive thinking style, conscientiousness through legislative thinking style, openness and extroversion through global and liberal thinking styles, neuroticism and openness through conservative thinking style, extroversion and conscientiousness through hierarchical thinking style, and extroversion through external thinking style. In general, the results of this research emphasize the necessity of considering the role or personality traits and thinking styles in academic achievement of students.

A sample of 456 male senior high school students responded to the California Personality Inventory (CPI; Gaff, 1975) and Adjustment Inventory for School Students (AISS; Sinha & Singh, 1993), and were categorized into five levels of adjustment (from maladjusted to completely adjusted). Factor analysis of various combinations of personality traits suggested that some of the networks could not predict adjustment due to non conformity between the number of variables and network architectures. However, a revision of the architectures and repetition of new networks significantly increased the proportion of correct predictions (the proportion of participants categorized into the indicated levels of adjustment based on AISS). The most appropriate network for predicting adjustment included a combination of the cognitive variables of flexibility, femininity, communality and tolerance. Manuscript profile -

The first study aimed to identify moral traits among college students. One hundred and twenty two students (56% females) participated in a free-listing task. The participants were asked to list characteristics that a moral person possessed. A content analysis of the traits based on five criteria (Hardy et al, 2011) resulted in 26 non-redundant traits. In order to obtain further evidence that these 26 traits had sufficient content validity, in a sample different from the first study 217 students (58% females) were asked to rate each trait using a scale ranging from 1(absolutely unnecessary) to 5 (absolutely necessary). The results indicated that 24 traits were judged to be above the midpoint of the scale. Investigating the results of females and males students led to identification of nine traits that had the highest ratings: polite, trustworthy, honest, self-respect, rational, loyal, fair, religious, and patient. These nine traits were considered as identity-invoking stimuli for constructing moral identity scale. The implications of the findings were discussed. Manuscript profile -

Expectation from marriage is influenced by many factors such as internal processes and personality traits of each person as well as environmental factors and social context. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to predict the expectation of marriage based on personality traits and attachment styles in unmarried female undergraduate students of Tehran University who are studying in the second semester of the academic year 2016-2017. In this research, which was of correlation type, 200 people are considered from the population of 240 people by multi-stage random sampling method based on regression logic (Delaware, 2015) and considering the possibility of drop, 20% will be added to this number. And the sample size was 240 people. The participants responded to McCree and Costa (1985), Hazen and Shaver (1987) attachment styles, and Jones and Nelson (1996) expectations of marriage. The results obtained using regression and Pearson's correlation coefficient showed that attachment styles can predict 43.7% of realistic expectation, 16.7% of idealistic expectation and 10% of pessimistic expectation of marriage. Also, personality traits can predict 4.5% of realistic expectation, 5.8% of idealistic expectation and 5.6% of pessimistic expectation towards marriage. Therefore, personality traits and attachment styles are effective components related to expectations of marriage. Manuscript profile -

The research method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlation in terms of data collection. The statistical population included all the employees of Pasteur Hospital in Qazvin city, of which 170 people were considered as the sample size using Morgan's table and simple random sampling method. Data collection was done based on three standard physical, cognitive and behavioral anxiety questionnaires by Lehrer and Wolflek (1982), California Individual-Social Adaptation by Shoushtari (2016) and Hexaco Personality Questionnaire by Lee and Ashton (2004). The analysis of the information obtained from the implementation of the questionnaires was carried out through SPSS22 software in two descriptive and inferential sections (Pearson's correlation coefficient, and step-by-step regression). The results showed that there is a negative and significant relationship between types of physical, behavioral and cognitive anxiety with social adjustment, that is, the more physical, behavioral or cognitive anxiety a person has, the lower the level of social adjustment. There is a significant and negative relationship between social adjustment and excitability, and a positive and significant relationship between social adjustment and extraversion, adaptability, conscientiousness, and openness. Also, the results showed that physical, cognitive and behavioral anxiety and personality traits predict the social adjustment of the people under investigation. Manuscript profile -

The personality of individuals is considered as the most important individual factor of human beings. The purpose of this study was to investigate the personality traits that influence knowledge sharing in audit firms. Introduction of personality traits has been done with the components of five major personality factors (neuroticism, extroversion, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness).Questionnaires were used to collect data from 126 certified accountants working in audit firms and the hypotheses were analyzed using structural equation test. The results showed that extroversion, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness had a positive and significant effect on staff knowledge sharing process in audit firms, but there was no significant relationship between openness to experience and staff knowledge sharing process. Given the importance of personality traits in the formation of knowledge sharing, it is recommended that the audit firms in the process of recruiting and hiring auditors and assigning them to workgroups pay particular attention to attracting individuals with appropriate personality traits for knowledge sharing.

The experimental design was randomized complete block with four replications. Various equations including linear and none-linear equations were used to describe relationships between leaf area and mentioned characteristics. The best results were obtained with linear form of power equation {ln(Y)=ln(a)+bln(x)}. Results showed that there was no significant difference between cultivars and in respect to coefficients of allometric relationships. So one equation was used for all cultivars in both years. Equation Y=219.2X0.96(R2=0.99) showed very good description of the estimation of leaf area (Y) Using LDW (X), Also according to equation Y=84.77X0.6 (R2=0.92) , leaf area using data of TDWV (X) was well estimated. although relationship between LA and PTLN was suitable but LA was estimated with less precision compared to LDW and TDWV (Y=1.34X1.57, R2=0.89). Estimation of leaf area Using data of PH was not well estimated. It was concluded that the equations could be used for estimation of leaf area especially when the leaf area meter device is not available or can be used in simulation models of wheat.

The treatments included three levels of planting date (6 May, 16 May, and 26 May) as the major factor , three fertilizer spray levels (60, 70, and 80 days after planting) and two cultivars ( Bastami and Ghadim) as the minor factors. Results of the table of ANOVA indicated the traits of number of pods per plant and seed yield were influenced by the treatments of planting date, cultivar, and sprays at the 1% probability level. The Bastami cultivar yielded more pods per plant and higher seed yield compared to the Ghadim cultivar. Fertilizer spray on the 80th day after planting had the maximum effect on seed yield (3.17 t / ha). Under the individual effect of planting date, the largest number of pods per plant and the maximum 1000-seed weight were observed in the treatment of planting on 6 May. The mutual effects of planting date and fertilizer spray on the number of pods per plant were significant at the 1% probability level, and the combination treatment of 6 May planting date fertilizer spray on the 80th day after planting had the largest number of pods per plant.

Treatments were five levels of cold stress (0, 4, 8, 12 and 16 days) at 6±2 ᵒC and three light intensity levels of normal light, 50 and 10 % of normal light (240, 120 and 24 µm.m-2.s-1, respectively). Plants were kept in controlled conditions for 30 days then chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were measured. Results showed that Fv/Fm and Fv/Fo in response to cold stress changed in reduce trend and was described by a segmented model. Accordingly, these parameters increased linearly until twelfth day with a soft slope (0.0007 and 0.0149, respectively) and then decreased with a sharp slope (0.0074 and 0.1098, respectively). Also, Fm, Fv, Ft, Fm' only linearly respond to cold stress when stevia plant grown at 240 and 120 µm.m-2.s-1, while in 24 µm.m-2.s-1 the response of plant was fitted by a segmented model in which linearly decreased and then increased. Furthermore, Y(II) adversely affected by cold stress in all light intensity levels while Y(NPQ) and Y(NO) increased particularly in 240 µm.m-2.s-1. In conclusion, the results suggest that chlorophyll fluorescence parameters are sensitive to cold stress particularly when stevia plant exposed for a prolonged period of time and higher light intensity.

The experimental treatments included three planting dates (1st, 11th, and 21st of May, 2011), the application of humic acid spray at three levels (control, 40%, and 60%),and VC and Parto cultivars. Results from this study suggest that the second planting date provides the best conditions for reducing environmental effects and preserving the dry and fresh weights of the seed (53.57 g/shrub, and 174.97 g/shrub). In addition, the interaction between the planting date and dry weight of the seed, as well as between the planting date and fresh weight of the seed were significant at the level of 5% and 1%, respectively. The cultivars under planting date treatment showed statistical difference at the level of 1% in some traits namely 1000-seed weight, number of seeds per pod, and yield. Among the cultivars, the maximum 1000-seed weight (63.21 g) belonged to the Parto cultivar.

The reports showed that this increase was about 1% per year in most of the cases. For example, the results of experiments conducted in Mexico, England, France, Argentina, China and Iran showed such trends. There is considerable interest for scientist to understanding the role of traits that involved in yield increasing, since grain improvement in wheat is an important problem. Increasing harvest index, reduced plant height, increasing grain number per ear, increasing ear number and to some extent increasing biomass, specially in the recent year that harvest index reached to maximum predict value, had the highest role in wheat yield improvement in past year. It seems that some traits had little changes during yield improvement in breeding programs and more efforts must be done to improving these traits. Some of these traits that in future breeding programs must be considered are, improving biomass production, improving rooting traits, increasing stem elongation period, improving RUE, improving efficiency of use of stem reserves to grain filling and improving ear morphology.

The factorial experiment was carried out in the form of randomized complete block design and with three repetitions. Factors included irrigation round at four levels (90 (control), 75, 45, and 20% field capacity) and salicylic acid at two levels (zero (control) and 60 ppm). The investigated traits included the plant height, number of lateral branches, length of lateral branches, number of nodes, fresh and dry weight of the plant, fresh and dry weight of the stem, chlorophyll a, b, and total, carotenoids, and essential oil percentage and yield. Results from this experiment showed that the effect of drought stress on all studied traits was significant at the statistical level of 1%. The mutual effect of drought stress on salicylic acid hormone for the length of lateral branches, fresh and dry weight of the plant, chlorophyll a, b, and total, and essential oil percentage and yield traits was significant. Stress caused a reduction in all traits except for fresh and dry weight of the stem; and the use of salicylic acid led to the reduced effects of stress such that the highest values of these traits were obtained from 60 ppm salicylic acid. Given the mutual effects, the highest values of essential oil percentage and yield obtained from 90% of field capacity and application of salicylic acid. Overall, the application of this hormone led to the improvement of qualitative and quantitative characteristics of Mentha piperita under drought stress. Manuscript profile -

The main plot was devoted to low-irrigation stress at three levels (100, 75 and 50% water requirement), the sub-plot was devoted to N fertilization at three levels (50, 100 and 150 kg N ha-1) and the sub-sub-plot was devoted to ecotype at three levels (Bami, Boushehri and Roudbari). It was found that low-irrigation stress significantly affected all traits (relative water content, dye rate and chlorophyll index at the 1% level and chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll and chlorophyll a/b at the 5% level) except electrolyte leakage rate and chlorophyll b. The influence of N rate was significant on all traits (at the 1% level, chlorophyll index at the 5% level) except electrolyte leakage rate, chlorophyll b and dye rate. The studied ecotypes showed significant differences only in dye rate (at the 1% level) and electrolyte leakage (at the 5% level). The highest Lawson content of 20.61 was obtained from the ecotype Bami treated with 150 kg N ha-1 and 75% water requirement. The lowest one of 12.55 was obtained from the ecotype Boushehri treated with 150 kg N ha-1 and 50% water requirement. Therefore, it can be said that the application of 100 kg N ha-1 treated with water stress at 75% water requirement was the best treatment for obtaining more fresh plants with higher essential oil (Lawson).

Studied factors were weed control time included weeding in rosette, early stem elongation, early flowering and 50% flowering stages, full season competition, control and SLM046, Opera and Okapi cultivars. Results showed that number of branches per plant were 4 and 2 in control and full-season interference treatments, respectively. Biological yield of rapeseed in whole season weed-infested plots reduced 40%, as compared with control. Weeds biomass in treatments those weeds were controlled at early stem elongation, early flowering and 50% flowering stages had no-significant difference. Weeds could increase biomass up to 410 g m-2 when grew with rapeseed along the season. Weeds control had significant difference with weed-free plots in early stem elongation, early flowering and 50% flowering stages with 32%, 44% and 50% reduction value in seed yield, respectively. When the weeds competition period took a long time, seeds weight decreased. Seed oil percentage was not affected by cultivars and weeds competition periods. Reduction value in oil yield of rapeseed in different levels of weed control were 32%, 4%, 45%, 50% and 55%, respectively. Manuscript profile -

For this purpose, 24 Zell male lambs with an avrage age of about 5 months and an avrage weight of 25.4±0.50 were used for 90 days. The experimental treatments included 1- control group (no supplement), 2- treatment containing 2 g of A-Max prebiotic supplement, 3- treatment containing 4 g of Biomin IMBO synbiotic supplement, and 4- treatment containing 6 g of Bioherbal phytobiotic supplement per head of lamb per day. The growth performance results showed that there was a significant difference between the experimental treatments in the fattening weight, dry matter intake, daily weight gain and feed conversion ratio (p < 0.05). The highest weight at the end of the fattening period, dry matter intake and daily weight gain were observed in the treatment of 4 g of synbiotic supplement. The treatment with 6 g of phytobiotic supplement had the lowest feed conversion ratio. The highest apparent digestibility of dry matter, NDF and ADF was observed in the treatment of 4 g of synbiotic supplement (p < 0.05). The results of some blood serum parameters showed that there was a significant difference in the concentration of glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride and blood urea nitrogen between the experimental treatments (p < 0.05). The highest concentration of glucose was in the treatment of 4 g of synbiotic supplement, the lowest concentration of cholesterol was in the treatment of 6 g of phytobiotic supplement. Blood urea nitrogen had the lowest concentration in the treatment of 4 g of synbiotic supplement. The treatment with 4 g of synbiotic supplement had the highest hot carcass weight, hot carcass percentage, cold carcass weight, cold carcass percentage, thigh percentage and shoulder percentage (p < 0.05). The present research showed that the addition of 4 g of synbiotic supplement in the diet improved the growth performance, valuable parts of the carcass and the apparent digestibility of nutrients in fattening lambs.

In this experiment, were measured 7 morphological traits. Analysis of variance genotypes for all traits was significant at 1% probability level. N-85-5 and Line 17 genotypes produced the highest and the lowest grain yield, respectively. Among all tested traits, the number of fertile spike had the highest correlation (0.999 **) with grain yield. Using stepwise regression, the number of fertile spikes entered the model as an effective attribute, justifying 99.8 percent of the data variation. In order to find the causal relationships, the path analysis was performed for grain yield The direct effect on the grain yield was related to the number of fertile spike traits. The results of cluster analysis by ward method showed that the studied cultivars were classified in two groups and the second group in terms of grain yield was the most (397.66). According to the results, can be said that N-85-5 genotype had the highest grain yield and trait number of fertile spike was identified as an effective trait for increasing grain yield.

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between plant yield, yield components and morphological traits, as well as accurate recognition of traits affecting the yield on 32 safflower genotypes in a randomized complete block design with three replications at the research farm of Islamic Azad University, Karaj Branch. Among the studied genotypes, there was a significant difference in all studied traits such as plant yield, 1000-seed weight, number of branches, number of bolls per plant, boll weight, flowering time, flowering time, plant height and flowering time until there was an examination that indicated a high diversity in the germplasm studied. Among the yield components, the most heritability was attributed to 1000 seed weight and number of branches, and the lowest heritability was attributed to plant yield, which indicates that indirect modification of yield would be more beneficial. Plant height and number of branches can be used as an index of selection in breeding programs. Cluster analysis based on morphological traits categorized genotypes into five clusters. Based on the results of this study, it can be stated that by improving the traits of boll weights and number of bolls per plant, it is possible to achieve the desired grain yield in safflower genotypes.

The main factor was four planting dates (20 November, 19 December, 5 January and 1 March) and the split factor was six faba bean genotypes (Guilan landrace, Borojerd landrace, France, Barrakat, FILIP3 and FILIP5). The effect of planting date was significant on all of the studied traits. The effect of genotype was also significant on all traits exept of days to maturity and relative water content. Interactions of two factors were significant on seed yield, number of days to emergence, hundred seed weight, number of seeds per pod and number of pods per plant. The highest ripening time of seeds (175.22 days) was observed in the first planting date and this time in the last planting date was reduced by 42%. Due to the significant interaction of genotype by sowing date, the simple effect of genotype was investigated at each level of sowing date and it was shown that in all four sowing dates, Gilan landrace had the highest grain yield with 3208.04, 1858, 110.8, 605.2 kg ha-1, respectively. Delay in planting incrased the seed nitrogen content by 22%. According to the results of present study and due to climatic ondition, early November is considered as an appropriate time for planting faba beans in the studied area. Manuscript profile -

The evaluation of correlation coefficients illustrated that total dry matter, harvest index, thousand seed weight, number of seeds per pod, number of pods per plant, plant height, days to maturity and flowering period trait have had a significant positive correlation with grain yield. Stepwise regression and path analysis indicated that number of pods per plant had the highest direct effect on grain yield. Grain weight indirectly by increasing the number of pods per plant and total dry matter yield, flowering and maturity period traits had high direct effect on grain yield. Thus, direct selection for these traits is suggested. Manuscript profile -

This research was conducted in order to investigate the effect of foliar spraying of cycocel and iron and zinc micronutrient elements on the yield and physiological traits of wheat pishgam cultivar under drought stress conditions in a private farm in Rabat Karim, Tehran, during the cropping years of 2016-2017 and 2017-2018. The experiment was carried out in the form of split plots in the form of a randomized complete block design in three replications. In this experiment, irrigation at two levels (I1: full irrigation (custom of the region) and I2: interruption of irrigation at the beginning of the spike emergence stage or 51 Zadoks) As the main factor, cycocel at two levels (C1: no use (spraying solution with pure water) and C2: consumption of cycocel at the rate of 0.5 liters per hectare) and foliar application of micronutrient elements in two stages of stem formation and spike emergence at four levels (F1: no use (pure water spray solution), F2: iron foliar application, F3: zinc foliar application, and F4: iron foliar application + zinc (each at a ratio of 3 per thousand) As sub-factors, they were factorial placed in sub-plots. The results of composite data analysis showed that the main effect of irrigation, cycocel foliar application and the interaction effect of irrigation × cycocel at the level of five percent and foliar application of micronutrient elements at the level of one percent was significant on grain yield. The results of comparing the averages of the effect of irrigation and cycocel on grain yield showed that the highest grain yield belonged to the cycocel application treatment under normal irrigation conditions with an average of 7077 kg/ha. The use of cycocel in normal irrigation conditions and also in stress conditions in the spike stage or 51 Zadoks increased grain yield. This increase was more evident under normal irrigation conditions. The results of comparing the averages of the effect of foliar application of micronutrients on grain yield showed that iron + zinc foliar application had the highest grain yield with an average of 5543 kg/ha, and the lowest grain yield belonged to the control treatment with an average of 4638 kg/ha. According to the obtained results, although the drought is causing damage to wheat, but cycocel, iron and Zinc foliar application partially compensated the damage caused by drought stress.

Nitrogen fertilizer was applied in five rates (0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 kg.ha-1) and cutting has two strategies: single harvest (at the beginning of grain filling) and double-cutting (at the beginning of flowering and the beginning of the grain filling). Forage yield and qualitative traits (crude protein, acid detergent fiber, crude fiber and cell wall) were measured at both cutting strategy. The results showed that nitrogen rate had significant effect on quantitative traits and crude protein, and also the effect of cutting on all traits was significant except for LAI and cell wall. Cutting×nitrogen interaction was not significant for any traits, except for dry leaf/stem ratio. Mean comparison showed that 200 kg.ha-1 nitrogen treatment and single-cutting harvest had the highest dry forage yield of 27490 and 27120 kg.ha-1, respectively. Although the highest crude protein percentage was obtained in 400 kg.N.ha-1 treatment and were in same statistical group with 200 kg N.ha-1.

The irrigation management in 3 three levels (no irrigation (rainfed), 50 and100% of plant water requirement) as main factor and mulch application in 3 levels (0, 2and 4 cm) and peanut cultivars in two levels (Guil and Gorgani) were considered as subfactor. The results showed that the interaction between irrigation and mulch had thehighest seed yield in 100% of water requirement and 4cm of mulch application (2775 kgha-1). The plant height at 100% of water requirement was 73.8cm which showed 13.7%and 7.7% increase than irrigation conditions and 50% of water requirement respectively.The highest plant height was obtained in 4 cm mulch treatment (75.5cm). In irrigationmanagement, the highest seed length was obtained in 100% water requirement (2.4cm)and 4 cm mulch (2.4cm). The highest seed width was observed in 100% water requirement(1.2 cm), 4 cm mulch application (1.2 cm) and Guil cultivar (1.2cm). Seed yield waspositively and significantly correlated (0.788**) with seed length. It can be concluded thatwith higher seed length, greater seed yield will be observed. Overall, water stressdecreased yield and mulch application reduced the negative effects of water stress on bothGuil and Gorgani cultivars.

The experiment was conducted as factorial based on completely randomized design with four replications. In which salinity stress from the source of Nacl at three levels (0, 40 and 80 mM), Sodium nitroprusside at three levels (0, 75 and 150 μM) and Brassinosteroids at two levels (0 and 1.5 μm) were considered. The analysis of variance results showed that the simple effects of salinity stress, application of salicylic acid and jasmonic acid were significant on all investigated subjects, and among these traits, root length, number of leaves and root dry weight were influenced by the triple interaction of salinity stress, salicylic acid and jasmonic acid. The results of mean comparison showed that in 95 mM sodium chloride consumption the lowest plant height (41.93 cm), root length (9.79 cm), leaves number (4.62), leaf area of plant (140.73), shoot fresh weight (12.93 g/plant), shoot dry weight (2.46 g/plant) and root dry weight (1.42 g/plant) were observed. The results of mean comparison double interaction effects confirmed that maximum amount of shoot dry weight (11.8867 g/plant), root dry weight (3.7811 g/plant) and leaf area (675.63 cm2) were obtained at 150 μM of sodium nitroprusside and 1.5 μM of brassinosteroid. Therefore, it can be concluded that consumption of sodium nitroprusside and brassinosteroid improved all morphological traits tested in rosemary medicinal plant through the occurrence of anti-stress effects.

L-Carnitine levels used in this experiment were zero, 125, 250 and 375 ppm in feed. Feed consumption, mortality rate, mean weight, feed conversion rate (FCR), European Efficacy Factor (EEF), antibody titers against Newcastle Disease (ND) and Avian Influenza (AI) vaccines, cholesterol, triglyceride, white blood cell and red blood cell counts, abdominal fat weight, heart weight ratio, hepatocyte changes were measured at the end of rearing. Finally all data were subjected to the analysis of variances and compared by Duncan’s method between 4 groups statistically. The results showed that: 1) L-Carnitine can improve significantly body weigh gain only in 35-49 day old, but not in earlier age. Also improve FCR, EEF, antibody titers against ND and AI vaccines. It can be considered economics to use as it was found in cost-benefit assessment. 2) L-Carnitine did not have any significant effects on serum components, blood cells counts and carcass traits, although it had a little positive improving effect on these items. It seems that L-Carnitine can improve overall performance, carcass traits, blood & serum components and immune response in broiler chickens relatively, and this improvement is more obvious in 375 mg/kg feed than 125 and 250 mg/kg feed.

These cultivars included: Pishgam, Heydari, Parsi, Sivand and c-91-4 that analyzed as Randomized Complete Block Design in 3 replications. Analysis of variance showed that cultivars had significant effect on grain yield at 1% level. The results of the comparison of the cultivars showed that Pishgam with the average of 6035 kg.ha-1 had the highest grain yield, which was statistically classified in a common group with a C-91-4 (average 5630 kg.ha-1). Mihan with the average of 4400 kg.ha-1 had the lowest grain yield that was in a same group statistically with Parsi, Heydari and Sivand cultivars. The reasons for the superiority of grain yield in Pishgam cultivar are due to the higher number of seeds per spike and the number of spikes per unit area. Analysis of variance showed that the cultivar had a significant effect on biological yield at 1% level. The results showed that Sivand cultivar had the highest biological yield with 28110 kg / ha. The lowest biological yield was observed in Pishgam and Heidari cultivars. Manuscript profile -

The statistical population included the 20 t0 35 years old female residents in Tehran downtown and uptown in 2023. The sample subsumed 369 women whom were selected via convenient sampling procedure. To collect data Styles Accessories Questionnaire and Personality Traits Check Lists were implemented. The results indicated that individuals with the trait of extroversion welcome the casual style because of its simplicity and their second priority was classic style. Females with the trait of agreement and compatibility, since they didn't want to distance themselves from the ongoing traditions, they felt more comfortable with classic and casual style in the first priorities. Individuals with high conscientiousness, classic and formal style was their first priority and romantic style was their second priority. And due to the importance of order and specific principles, the use of avant-garde style was the last priority. Subjects with high neuroticism preferred the casual style because it was easy to wear and the romantic style because of its more elegance. And individuals with the trait of accepting new experiences selected casual and vintage styles. According to the findings, it could be reported that the society, especially women and girls, pay more and more attention to the use of accessories. Manuscript profile -

Human intelligence is one of the important and distinct characteristics of humans, which includes mental and cognitive abilities. This type of intelligence includes abilities such as logical reasoning, solving complex problems, creativity, and memory and learning intelligent activities. By identifying the research gap, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between human intelligence and auditors' personality traits using structural equations. The conducted investigations show that most of the studies that have been conducted in this field are either independent or a combination of two or three variables, but there has been no research that has conducted this title among auditors, which indicates an important theoretical and empirical gap in this field. It is the field. Therefore, this research aims to answer this question: What effect does auditors' eightfold intelligence have on their personality traits. Methodology: This research has an applied purpose and is in the category of descriptive-correlational research. In this research, structural equation modeling was used to investigate the relationships between the components of the model, and partial least squares method was used for confirmatory factor analysis. In this research, 336 auditors and accountants were randomly identified by referring to the country's audit organization, and questionnaires were sent to them via e-mail, e-mail, and telegram, and finally 243 questionnaires were returned. The statistical population of this research is all certified accountants working in audit institutions, according to the latest statistics of the certified accountant community, their number is 2710, based on Cochran's sampling formula, 336 auditors were selected as the study sample, and the questionnaires were provided to them and finally, 243 completed questionnaires were provided to the researcher. Findings: In this research, the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to test the normality of the data. If the data distribution is normal, inferential statistical tests can be used. To check the normality of the data, the null hypothesis is based on the fact that the distribution of the data is normal. This test is tested at the 5% error level. If a larger significance value equal to the error level of 0.05 is obtained, there will be no reason to reject the null hypothesis. Walter McKenzie's multiple intelligences questionnaire (MII) and the five-factor personality questionnaire of McCree and Costa (1991) were used. To measure the validity of the questionnaire, the judgment of professors and experts in this field was used. Cronbach's alpha was used to test the validity of the questionnaire, and the value was 0.787. The structural equation method was used to test the hypotheses, and each variable in the structural equation model system can be considered both as an endogenous variable and an exogenous variable. The model shows the significance of the relationship between the variables and if the t coefficient calculated at the error level of 0.05% is not in the meaningless range (+1.96 and -1.96), there is no significant relationship between There are two variables available. And graph (2) shows the standard coefficients for the measurement model (standard coefficients for the questions and their related variables) and the structural model (path coefficients for the paths proposed in the model among the variables). The strength of the relationship between the factor (latent variable) and the observable variable is represented by the factor loading. The factor load is shown in this figure. Factor load is a value between zero and one. If the factor load is less than 0.5, the relationship is considered weak and is ignored. A factor between 0.3 and 0.6 is acceptable, and if it is greater than 0.6, it is very desirable. Discussion: The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of human intelligence on the personality characteristics of accountants. According to the research results, it can be said that multiple intelligences and personality traits all play an important role in auditors' performance. To do their work, auditors need different intelligences such as logical intelligence, spatial intelligence, verbal intelligence, etc. Each of these intelligences is directly related to audit work. For example, logical intelligence is needed to analyze and review financial information and audit documents. In this research, structural equation modeling using PLS software is used to investigate the relationships between components. According to the data analysis, the results indicated that the research results showed that the significant numbers between the hypotheses were more than 1.96, and the hypotheses were accepted. In addition, personality traits in fostering trust and openness in communication were key, which can be considered as prerequisites for having a system where all key audit professionals in the organization can work together to strengthen the effectiveness of the internal control framework.

In recent years, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi have been used in many plants to deal with dehydration and drought stress. In this regard, an experiment was conducted as split-plot in the form of randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the Yasuj region at years 2015 and 2016. Water stress was considered as the main factor in the form of irrigation after 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of evaporation from the evaporation pan class A and mycorrhizal fungus was considered as a secondary factor in the form of no application, application of Glomus mosseae and application of Glomus intraradices. The results showed that the interaction of irrigation and mycorrhizal fungi on flower phosphorus, flower yield, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage was significant. In irrigation levels after 60, 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan, the use of mycorrhizal fungi Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices compared to the absence of fungi respectively increased the yield of plant flowers (30.04% and 27.35 %), (90.2% and 90.98%), (93.21% and 94.1%) and (81.73% and 78.86%), also, at these levels of irrigation, biological yield and water use efficiency of Borage flower achieved a significant increase in the presence of mycorrhizal fungus, compared to the absence of mycorrhizal fungus application. Application of both strains of mycorrhizal fungus Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices in irrigation levels after 90, 120 and 150 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan compared to no application of mycorrhizal fungus, respectively, resulted in a significant increase in the harvest index of Borage flower (44.55% and 43.36%), (13.21% and 15.96%) and (5.6% and 5.41%) and flower phosphorus (44.69% and 20.45%), (150% and 125%) and ( 267.74% and 235.48%). Mycorrhizal fungus was able to moderate the negative effects of drought stress and increase the above-mentioned traits in those irrigation levels, and based on the results of this study, irrigation treatment after 90 mm of water evaporation from the evaporation pan + the use of Glomus mosseae mycorrhizal fungi is recommended.

Lam MoreTwenty-one male Sanjabi lambs (body weight (BW)=27.5±2.6 kg, 3-month-old), were used to study the effects of diet supplementation with pomegranate seed oil (PSO) on the performance, carcass and meat quality, and fatty acid composition of muscle and subcutaneous fat. Lambs were randomly distributed be-tween three treatments (0, 2, and 4% of dry matter (DM) pomegranate seed oil) and were fed for 90 days before slaughter. Average daily feed intake (g/d) increased by pomegranate seed oil inclusion in diet (P<0.05). Hot carcass weight (HCW) and cold carcass weight (CCW), weight of fat depots, subcutaneous fat depth, longissimus thoracis area and weight of carcass cuts, were not affected by pomegranate seed oil. Colour lightness (L*) index and fat content of longissimus thoracis muscle increased by 4% pomegranate seed oil supplementation (P<0.05); however, moisture, protein and ash content of muscle did not affect. Addition of pomegranate seed oil to lamb’s diet slightly affected fatty acid profile of longissimus thoracis muscle and couldn’t change the total amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), and the n-6/n-3 or polyunsaturated fatty acids/saturated fatty acids (SFA) ratios. Pomegranate seed oil supplementation sig-nificantly increased total polyunsaturated fatty acids n-3 and n-6 content and significantly decreased n-6/n-3 ratio in subcutaneous fat (P<0.05). In conclusion, the results obtained in current study suggest that addition of up to 4% pomegranate seed oil to fattening lambs diet have potential to increase some polyunsaturated fatty acids content and decrease n-6/n-3 ratio of carcass deposited fats without negative impact on fattening performance, carcass traits, and colour stability of meat.

354 - Testing the gender invariance in relations between personality traits, social problem solving and subjective- well-being: The structural eqution modeling approach
Sadegh Taghilou Ramin Letafati Abstract Present research compared the relation between subjective well – being, social problem solving dimensions (constructive problem solving and dysfunctional problem solving), neuroticism and extraversion latent variables among male and female students More Abstract Present research compared the relation between subjective well – being, social problem solving dimensions (constructive problem solving and dysfunctional problem solving), neuroticism and extraversion latent variables among male and female students using structural equation modeling (SEM). So after drawing path among variables the research model was built and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used for testing that mediating role of the gender in that relations. Data collected from 536 university students (261 male and 285 female) that completed Big Five Factor personality and social problem solving inventories and subjective well – being scales. Results indicate that in spite of same fitting in measurement model, there is no similarity between men and women in structural model respect to data fitting. Comparison results which was made between structural models of men and women makes it clear that among men, subjective well-being can be predicted strongly by neuroticism as compared to women and among women constructive problem solving and dysfunction problem solving can be predicted by extraversion in better manner as compared to men. And in compare to men subjective well – being can be predicted strongly by dysfunction problem solving among women. The results of this research emphasis on mediating role of gender in studying the relation between personality, social problem solving and subjective well – being. The findings suggest is that general health professionals and therapists should consider the important role of gender in studying and explaining the influence of personality and social problem solving on subjective well-being. Repetition of this result by the longitudinal study is necessary. Manuscript profile -

Personality characteristics and MoreAdolescence, is a critical period which is always associated with the process of identity formation. Part of this growth process is seeking danger which is shown in the shape of unhealthy sexual behavior, alcohol, tobacco and other items. Personality characteristics and parenting styles in the critical period of adolescence can provide a context for an orientation to addiction. The purpose of this study was to present a model to predict the adolescent’s orientation to addiction based on personality characteristics and parenting style. For this purpose, in a descriptive study, 500 boys and girls high school students were randomly selected from Qazvin city. They were tested in terms of orientation towards addiction, five major factors of personality and parenting style. Results of regression analysis indicated that there is a significant difference among the mental-neuroticism, openness to experience, having conscientiousness and parenting styles (Permissive, autocratic, authoritative) with the attitude of students in relation to addiction. Considering the obtained model, with increased scores in these variables, the odds of a positive attitude to substance use will increase. It seems that personality traits and parenting styles have a significant difference with attitudes towards addiction in male and female students. They can be effective in preventing orientation towards addiction. Manuscript profile -

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of pathological personality dimensions in predicting dark tetrad personality traits. For this purpose, 400 people (226 women and 174 men) were selected from the students of Tabriz universities by convenience sampling and were evaluated in terms of dark tetrad personality traits and the pathological personality dimensions. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the five dimensions of pathological personality including negative affectivity, detachment, antagonism, disinhibition and psychoticism are related to the Machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy, Sadism. The results showed that Machiavellianism predicted by antagonism; psychopathy predicted by antagonism and detachment; narcissism predicted by antagonism, detachment and negative affectivity; Sadism predicted by antagonism. It is noteworthy that antagonism as one of the pathological personality dimensions predicted all four dark personality traits. It can be concluded that the dark personality traits can be rooted in maladaptive personality dimensions and aspects. Manuscript profile -

In this study, genetic diversity of 25 rainfed wheat genotypes were assessed using morphological traits as well as 20 primers of RAPD markers. There were significant differences among genotypes for the most traits, indicating high genetic variations among wheat genotypes. Based on the molecular data, 197 bands were detected within 25 genotypes and 160 bands were polymorphs. Average mean number of bands per primer was 9.8. According to cluster analysis of similarity matrix of molecular and morphological data based on euclidean distances, similarities ranged between 0.56-0.83 and 1.92-108.96, respectively. Based on molecular data and morphological traits, the highest similarities were belonge to Gahar and Maron (0.83), and Kuhdasht and Pigo (1.92) varieties, respectively. The results showed that RAPD markers and morphological traits could distinct spring and winter wheat genotypes having high grain yield (Nestor, TV2, Katila-11 and GHK). Distinction of durum and bread wheat genotypes did not follow the same pattern. There was no significant correlation between two similarity matrices of molecular and morphological data.

The results of stepwise regression showed that the length, the filled, unfilled grain and panicle primary branches also cooking quality, broken rice rate, grain length, bran percentage, grain length after cooking, elongation rate and gel consistency had the most significant changes in the grain yield. The panicle length had the highest positive and significant impact on grain yield due to positive relationship between panicle length and growth space. Also, amount of broken rice had the most negative impact on grain yield due to the reduction of grain qualitative characteristics which can be the main and important goal of breeding studies. Finally, it is recommended that to gain maximum seed yield, research is needed to reduce competition and increase volume and number of seeds to improve panicle length. Manuscript profile -

Main Factor was irrigation interval at three levels including every 7, 12 and 17 days irrigation and three harvesting times including harvesting at soft dough (waxy), hard dough and full maturity stages were assigned to the sub plots. The results indicated that the effect of irrigation intervals on majority of measured traits including number of umbrella in plant, number of seeds in main branch umbellet, number of seeds in sub branch umbellet, number of sub­-­branches in plant, number of umbellets in main branch umbrella, plant height, grain yield and biomass was significant. Majority of measured traits significantly decreased with increment in irrigation interval from 7 to 17 days. So, the highest biomass (1845.89 kg.ha-1) and grain yield (636.07 kg.ha-1) were obtained in 7 days irrigation interval and the lowest amount of the mentioned traits was observed in 17 days irrigation interval. Harvesting time had significant effect on some of traits including number of seeds in sub­-branch umbellet, biomass and grain yield. With delay in harvesting time from hard dough to full maturity stage, number of seeds in sub­-­branch umbellet, biomass and grain yield decreased, significantly. So, the highest biomass (1474.33 kg.ha-1) and grain yield (474.15 kg.ha-1) were obtained in hard dough stage and the lowest amount of the mentioned traits were obtained in soft dough stage.

Mungbean is a traditional pulse in arid and semi-arid areas. This research was conducted in a research greenhouse at the Ferdowsi university of Mashhad to investigate the impact of five drought levels (-0.3, -3, -6, -9, and -12 bar) on yield and morphological characteristics of eight mungbean genotypes (Jalagon17, Kopergaon, D45-6, IlagS6A, MD15-2, MY-17, Berken, Kiloga). The experiment was conducted as factorial in completely randomized design with four replications. The genotypes were exposed to drought stress 10 days after emergence. Some parameters were measured during growing seasons including plant height, leaf number, flower and pod number, length and number of lateral branches. Results showed significant differences of genotypes in all studied parameters in the first stage of stress. Reduction in the flowering and podding time were also observed in most genotypes. Flower numbers was a suitable parameter in assessment of drought tolerant genotypes. Most measured parameters did not show significant differences in all drought stress levels, and interactions at the end of growth season. At this stage, weight of pods was the best index. At the end of growing season, all of the measured parameters showed a reduction with increasing levels of drought stress. The highest amount of all parameters were observed in field capacity (-0.3 bar). Among the levels of water potential tested, -3 and -6 bars were the best treatments for evaluating drought stress of mungbean genotypes. Among studied genotypes, D45-6, Ilag S6A, and MD 15-2 were the best ones in terms of responding to drought stress. Manuscript profile -

Effect of four kinds of plant growth regulators including gibberelic acid (GA3) 100 ppm, banzyladenine (BA) 500 ppm, indole butyric acid (IBA) 200 ppm and Cycocel CCC 800 ppm) onmorphological traits and essential oil of daffodil were investigated. Plant growth regulators were sprayed at two stages including bulbs and foliage parts atinflorescence. The essential oil of fresh flowers was extacted using solvent extraction method. The results showed that GA3 and BA treatments had significant effects on increasing stem length, flower diameter and number of flowers in each inflorescence and also accelerated flowering. IBA application elongated flowering stem length but CCC decreased stem length. BA and IBA applications caused significant increase in essential oil, CCC had no effect on that, but GA3 decreased its quantity. Manuscript profile -

373 - Identification of morphological traits effective in essential oils quantity of Oliveria decombens L. in agricultural conditions.
Seyyed Mohammad Hosein Ale Omrani Nejad Ali Rezvani AghdamIn order to investigate the relationship between morphological traits and the percentage of essential oil and its components in Lal Kohistan (Oliveria decombens L.) populations, this research was conducted in 2018 in the research farm of Shahid Beheshti Dezful Company i MoreIn order to investigate the relationship between morphological traits and the percentage of essential oil and its components in Lal Kohistan (Oliveria decombens L.) populations, this research was conducted in 2018 in the research farm of Shahid Beheshti Dezful Company in the form of a randomized complete block experimental design with 3 replications. In the spring of 2019, 5 plants from each plot were collected in full flowering stage and 19 quantitative traits were evaluated. Characteristics of stem diameter, shoot diameter, leaf length and width by diameter gauge or caliper, plant height characteristics, internode length, stem leaf width and length using a ruler and weight measurements using a digital scale with an accuracy of one The hundredth gram was done. Also, the amount of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and the ratio of chlorophyll a to b were measured using the fresh leaves of the plant using the Arnone method. After drying the samples in the shade, the ratio of dry to wet weight of 100 cheetahs was obtained. In order to calculate the percentage of essential oil, 50 grams of dried flower of each sample was randomly selected and after grinding, it was poured into a one-liter flask and 300 milliliters of water was added to it. Then, for 4 hours continuously, essential oil extraction was done using the method of distillation with water by Cloninger machine, according to the pharmacopoeia. Then the obtained essential oil was carefully weighed and the percentage of essential oil was calculated based on the dry flower weight of each sample. The measurement of essential oil compounds was done using gas chromatography with mass spectrometer (GC_Mass) and gas chromatography (GC) in the laboratory of Jihad University Medicinal Plants Research Institute. Comparison of Tukey means of traits, determination of simple Pearson correlation coefficients, decomposition into principal components using Varimax rotation method, cluster analysis using Euclidean distance coefficient using Ward method and multivariate or multiple regression test using stepwise method. The step was performed by Minitab software version 18. The results indicated the presence of significant diversity among the populations in terms of morphological and phytochemical traits. Factor analysis of phytochemical traits showed that myristicin, thymol, and carvacrol had the highest factor loadings in the first, second, and third components, respectively, and cluster analysis, based on this, divided the studied populations into 5 independent groups. Divided. The appearance characteristics of the plant have the greatest effect on the biosynthesis of the chemical compounds of the plant. Correlation results and regression equations showed that the characteristics of the number of stipules per plant, dry and wet weight of 100 stipules played the greatest effect on the yield of essential oil and its dominant compounds in a correlation model. Considering the indiscriminate harvesting of this plant in recent years from natural habitats and its lack of cultivation in agricultural conditions, it seems that the use of correlation coefficients and multivariate statistical analyzes of morphological traits are effective in essential oil production. , can be a strategic measure in identifying effective external markers in the process of breeding and selecting superior populations.

374 - Effects of volcanic ash and hematite on some growth traits of sorghum
mahnaz naroee aliakbar askari The present experiments is deciding to study the effect of hematite and volcanic ash on growth and physiological traits in sorghum factorial in a randomized complete design with treatments and replications Treatments consisted of volcanic ash concentrations More The present experiments is deciding to study the effect of hematite and volcanic ash on growth and physiological traits in sorghum factorial in a randomized complete design with treatments and replications Treatments consisted of volcanic ash concentrations (0, 0.25 and 0.5 g), hematite at three concentrations (0, 0.25 and 0.5 g), respectively. The results showed that the largest radicle and plumule was in the treatment with lukewarm ash with an average of 82.4 and 11.4 cm respectively and the smallest average in both mentioned traits was related to treatment without the use of ash, also in the hematite treatment, the largest radicle and plumule in the lukewarm hematite treatment resulted in the averages of 46.3 and 84.2 respectively. The highest dry weight in the volcano treatment of radicle and plumule of half a gram of ash treated with average of 0.02 g and the lowest average in both characteristic of the treatment without use of ash with mean 0.007 and 0.008 g, respectively, also in the treatment of hematite, the largest dry weight of radicle and plumule was reached to, respectively, with an average of 0.0016 and 0.0017 g. The highest concentrations of chlorophyll a, b and total of 5.0 grams of ash treated were respectively with the mean of 0.67, 0.84 and 1.51 mg per gram weight of fresh plant. use of fertilizer nutrients than non-use of fertilizers, had a greater effect on plant growth traits, even traits measured values obtained in these treatments was more than 100 percent compared to the Measure and control Manuscript profile
