Abstract:
An outbreak of a wilt-like disease of alfalfa (lucerne) in the Markazi province of Iran was investigated. Diseased alfalfa occurred on sprinkler irrigated alkaline soils in north of Arak county in the Markazi province of Iran, but the disease was absent in other counties of the province. Field symptoms during early growth stages typically consisted of V-shape orangepinkish necrotic areas on the leaflets tips. On severely affected shoots of more mature plants, leaflets were usually necrotic and twisted, forming spirals. Diseased stems remained erect and did not become chlorotic until after all the leaves had lost their chlorophyll. New shoots on infected plants appeared normal at first but showed symptoms as they approached physiological maturity. These symptoms are very similar to those reported for Verticilliumwilt in alfalfa, and V. albo-atrum was isolated from field collected plant samples by plating surface-sterilized tissues onto water agar (WA). V. alboatrum was confirmed as the causal agent of the disease by re-inoculation of lucerne plants using a conidial suspension by root dip inoculation. Symptoms on inoculated plants were similar to those described above for field infections. Following amplification by PCR, the sequences of the complete ITS1/5.8S/ITS2 regions of the rRNA gene repeats for three isolates (GenBank Acc. Nos Ay536044-6) were identical to that previously reported for the lucerne (L), pathotype of GpI V. albo-atrum.

Kalaii, Ali

Abstract:
Zanjan and Markazi provinces are two main regions for bean production in Iran. Farmers of these provinces allocate annually more than 24 thousand hectares of their fertile lands to bean cultivation and supply more than 25 percent of bean in the country. Average yield of the bean in these regions is higher than mean yield of the country. In Zanjan province that has the highest yield in the country, cities Abhar and Khorramdarreh are the most important regions for bean production. While in Markazi province, bean is produced in all the cities except for Ashtian Regarding to potential of the aforementioned provinces, government emphasis for developing non-oil specially agricultural products exports and also programming for joining to World Trade Organization (WTO) by the country, shows the necessity of studying the comparative advantage of agricultural products. In this relation, this research was prepared and carried out in Zanjan and Markazi provinces in order to study the comparative advantage of bean. Required data were obtained by interviews with the farmers in the provinces and filling in the pre-structured questionnaires. Gathered data were analyzed using the EXCEL and SPSSWIN softwares and comparative advantage was calculated using the DRC, SCB and NSP criteria. For both provinces, Domestic Resource Cost (DRC) and Social Cost Benefit (SCB) were calculated greater than one and Net Social Profit (NSP) was calculated greater than zero.

Abstract:
Three year research was conducted to determine the selenium and iodine status and monitoring effects of mineral supplementation of sheep flocks in Markazi province, Iran. Three sheep flock in different areas (Shazand, Khomein and Arak) were selected and in each flock, 120 young ewes were randomly allotted to 4 treatments groups included: no supplement (T1) as control, (T2 ) injections of Se, (T3) Iodine and (T4 )Selenium plus iodine. Results showed that, glutation peroxidase enzyme (GSH-Px) activity as well as the iodine status were significantly(P0.05) different among the flocks, where the highest activity amount(102.2 U/g Hb) of the enzyme found in Arak but lowest (46.3 U/g Hb) in Shazand flock. The highest urinary concentration of iodine was detected in Khomein flock (39.0 µg/L) followed by Arak (35.9 µg/L) but lowest amount (24.7 µg/L) found in Shazand flock. There were significantly (P0.05) differences between the years for GSH-Px activity and urinary iodine concentration in the ewes but the seasonal variations were limited to Arak flock. Injection of Se+E significantly (P0.05) increased GSH-Px activity. Iodine supplementation resulted a significantly (P0.05) higher urine iodine content. The results indicated the probability of iodine and selenium deficiency in some flocks. Utilization of the supplements positively affected mineral status of ewes.

Abstract:
During 1997-1998 irrigated winter wheat crops at the stages of tillering and at early milk to late milk wheat grain (G.S.73-77) in Markazi ,Hamedan ,Kermanshah ,Tehran ,and Kordestan provinces were investigated. Samples from obviously (a typically) blackened crown and root of infected wheat plants whit damping off, stunting, and prematuring (white head) were surface sterilized and cultured on PDA or R-PDA medium ,and several isolates of Gaeumannomyces graminis were recovered. Pathogenicity tests also carried out in glasshouse. All of the isolates were virulent on wheat and barley, whereas they were invirulent on oat. None of the isolates could grow on oat leaf agar medium (OLA).Furthermore, the growth of isolates on PDA + Cysteine was more than on PDA alone. The hyphopodia of the isolates were unlobed. The mean size of ascospores length was 76-99µTherefore the causal take-all disease on wheat in the province was identified as G. graminis (Sacc.) von Arx and Olivier var. tritici Walker. The severity of the disease was assessed based on the appearance of the crop( symptoms) using 0-4 assessment key. 8 and 5.8 percents of the wheat crops above-ground in Markazi and Hamedan provinces were found to be infected G. graminis ,respectively. The fungus was isolated from wheat plants in Tehran province, but its diversity and disease severity in wheat crops was not determined. The disease was not founded in Kermanshah and Kurdistan provinces.

Abstract:
Recognition of rainfall spatial variation over catchments is an important factor in designing water resources and watershed treatment projects. Drawing depth- area- duration (DAD) curves in any region can be useful to estimate spatial distribution of precipitation in drainage basin. The present study has been carried out for Markazi province and its adjacent area. Markazi province has an area of 2940000 hectare. There are 59 rain guages and one synoptic station over the province area with 30 years rainfall records (1966-1997). 60 numbers of 24 hours precipitation events have been selected for the study and the cumulative 24, 12, 6 and 3 hours rainfall graphs were draw. Gradient equation of each rainfall event was developed using the relation of elevation and precipitation. Topographic map of province were digitized using Ilwis 2.2 GIS program package. Gradiant equation for each event was entered to GIS in order to prepare isoohytal map. Some parameters including increment area, net rainfall, cumulative precipitation and the average of maximum precipitation for each precipitation have been identified. Then the first curves of DAD for any precipitation have been drawn and for each base time, the average value of precipitation for have been calculated and drawn. These curves show that in area of one square kilometer in each time of 24, 12, 6, and 3 hours the values of 40, 31, 28.5 and 28 mm precipitation were exist.

Abstract:
Iran is one of the countries with poor forest sources. As a result of severe consumption of forests due to human ambition and lack of accurate management, forest areas of the country are reducing rapidly. So, developing forests especially with planting fast growing trees like poplar is of great necessity for the country. Pests and diseases are among the factors that cause severe quantitative and qualitative damages on poplar trees. In some areas the damage level of these agents are so high that has made the farmers reluctant to plant poplar trees. So, it is necessary to control the damage causing agents by integrated control methods that are nature friendly and economically suitable and reduce the population of the damaging agents under the economical threshold level. Integrated pest management (IPM) is due to qualitative and quantitative identification of the ecosystem and considers the existing ruling factors among biotic factors and protecting the natural enemies of pests. The project was executed during ١٩٩٧ _] ٢٠٠٧ in the following provinces: Guilan, Chaharmahalva- Bakhtiari, Zanjan, Hamedan, Isfahan, Kermanshah, Kohgilouye-va-Boyer-Ahmad, Markazi, West and East Azarbaijan, Northern Khorasan and Tehran. Poplar pests fauna was studied on different native and exotic poplar species and clones, which were planted according to compared and selected popultum projects.

Abstract:
Using of honeybee queens with more production and suitable behaviour is one of the important pillars of Apiculture success. In actual using of bred queens srupply the best exploitation of pollen and nectar regions. Scientist of honeybee genetic believed the best breeding strategy for regions that located in honeybee natural distribution area in the world, is breeding of native honeybee reces. In actual in these regions which had native race from millions years ago, trying of researchers for its improvement production and behoviour traits and also decrease the negative characteristics is the best strategy. So in Iran with meda race (Iranian native honeybee race) from millions years ago honeybee breeding project was suggested to improve the Iranian honeybee colonies production and behaviour traits. Based on the results of morphological and biochemical study of honeybee population in Iran the first phase breeding project was conducted in Tehran, Isfahan, Markazi and Ghazvin provinces, in the central of Iran, in the firs phase of breeding project, 5000 honeybee colonies of 27 cities in four provinces were evaluated during the 1998. Honey production swarning behaviour, agressiveness and calmness behaviour were assessed in these colonies and after analyzing of obtained data 874 best colonies were selected based on independent colling level method. After evaluating in spring and summer the selected colonies were moved to Rodan and produced young queens in the winter of 1999.

Abstract:
Quantitative analysis of runoff and estimates of stream flow in gauged basins and its transferring to ungauged sites has special importance for water resources planning, watershed and agricultural lands management, as the layout and optimal design of diversion structures and flow control need runoff information with different probability levels. In this research, runoff information of hydrometric stations which located in river catchments of Isfahan, Markazi, Qom, Tehran, Hamadan and Qazvin provinces was collected and investigated. In this regard, such stations which included data with the appropriate quality and quantity were selected in a common period of time. In this case study, results of cluster analysis concluded three homogeneous regions of watershed based on independent variables. According to mean annual runoff probability analysis; the best statistical distribution was fitted and runoff values were determined with return periods of 2 to 100 year. Also, regional runoff models based on hydrological and morphometric parameters were extracted with different return periods for each homogeneous region. In each homogeneous region, evaluation of regression models obtained was carried out using a number of hydrometric stations control. In this case study, area, average slope, main river slope, length and gravilus coefficient of watershed were detected as the most influential parameters in estimation of runoff.

Abstract:
In this study, three sheep flock were selected in three different areus of Markazi Provience in Iran where selenium (Se) and Iodid (I) status was studied in the selected livestocks. In each flock, 120 ews were divided in four groups where three of them used as treatment (TSe ,TI and TSe+I ) and one as contral (C). Ews in TSe, TI and TSe+I resieved Se, I and Se+I supplement respectively, where the C did not resive any supplement. Results showed that, glutation-peroxidase enzyme (GSH-Px) activity as well as the I status were significantly (P0.05) different anong the flocks, where the highest amount (102.2) of the enzyme found in Arak but the lowest (46.3) amount in Shazand flock. The highest urinary concentration of I was detected in Khomain flock (39.0 mg/L), fallowed by Arak flock (35.9 mg/L) but lowest amount (24.7 mg/L) found in Shazand flock. There were significantly (P0.05) differences between the years for GSH-Px activity and urinary I concentration in the ews but the seasond variation was limited only in Arak flock. Injection of Se+E significantly (P0.05) increused GSH-Px activity. Iodid supplementation resulted a significantly (P0.05) higher urine I content. Utilization of supplements affected reprodutive performance of ews positively, however no similar status was found in all flock.

Abstract:
One of the main erosion features is the gully erosion that causes cosiderable soil losses from agricultural lands. Befor planing for any control practices, it is necessary to recognize their mechanism. This research carried out in order to recognizing gully erosion importance and zonation in Markazi province. In this research the spatial distribution gully regions of the province by using air photograph were recognized. Then by overlaying the climate map (based on developed de-martin method), the distribution of gully erosion in each climate region obtained. About 95 persent of gully region are in 4 climate regions and in each climatic region two key regions cousidered and the reperesentative gully and two replicats selected. Then the morphometric, soil and morphologic charactristics of each gully determined. The results show that the area of the gully erosions in the arid climate regions (i.e. the area of Robattork and Pikezarand is respectively 1060.2 and 1134.7 ha) of province is grether than the humid regions (i.e. the area of Zahiraba and Darband is respectively 451.96 and 141.03 ha) . Also the length and depth of the gully erosion in arid climate region is grether, ofcourse the the amount of the rainfall in the arid region is low and soil structure is weak, also the amount of EC, ESP, SAR and alkalinty are in high level. This condition, in addition to the human impact causes that soil to be much more susceptible to the erosion (etc.

Abstract:
Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has important role in diet because of high protein and carbohydrate and cultivate in many regions of Markazi province. Fusarium root rot disease is one of the most important soil born diseases of bean caused by Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli. Control of this disease is difficult. The management of nitrogen fertilizer application is effective on fusarium root rot severity. Low information about this subject was reason for studying the effect of different sources of nitrogen on fusarium root rot of Chitti bean line G14988. The treatments were three rhizobium strains(116, 134 and 156), urea, sulfur coated urea, ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate,biosobtile, and control. The experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with three replications in a field with history of damage from fusarium root rot of bean in Khomein Bean Research Station.The combined analysis of variation showed that the effect of treatments on disease severity at flowering stage, nitrogen uptake of seed, and number of seed per pod (at P0.05) and dry matter at harvest stage,100seed weight and pod per plant (at P0.01) were related to years effect.The means comparison of treatments showed that control was maximum disease severity while 156 rhizobium strain was minimum at both stages of sampling. Fertilizer treatments had no significant difference on disease severity.

Abstract:
In order to investigate management of traditional, industrial and semi industrial sheepfeedlot units in seven state of IranKhorasan, Fars, Yazd, Hamedan, Markazi, Kerman shah, and Kurdistan studied. To estimate their production function (PF) and efficiency (E), 1144 active units were studied by completing questionnaires. The 194 active units were studied by direct control from 2002 to 2005. In each unit dietary and body weight changes of selected lambs and chemical compositions of feedstuff were measured. After data setting, descriptive parameters of quantitative and qualitative traits were computed. To compare means, non parametric tests (Chi-square and Kolmogorov– Smirnov tests) and parametric tests (paired–samples and independent– samples T tests) were used. Production function was estimated by using Cobb–Douglas model and efficiency was calculated by using deterministic production frontier and COLS method. In this survey meat production was affected by herd size, feeding and labor inputs. Fars province had 3,3% (lowest) and Kordestan had 47,7% (highest) percentage of industrial units. Ninety-six percent of feedlot units in the reviewed provinces were individually possession. The graduating position of feedlots managers were 28% unlettered, 22,8% having reading and writing ability, 9,9% diploma and less than 2% graduated in all provinces. Age average of most feedlots managers was 50 ± 0,38 years.

Abstract:
Some of the plants in the nature always distribute in the specific region and could rarely be observed in other climates. These plants can be used as the index for recognizing and categorizing of climates. In this research at first the climate of Markazi province were classified by using the methods of Koppen, Stenze, Emberge, Thornth waite (1948 and 1933), adjusted Demarton and Gorszinsky. For this purpose the 20 years climate data were collected and dependency relationships of climate factors with elevation were determined. In order to relocating obtained relationship in climate equations as well as establishing the classified system. In next step, were recognize the key plant species in the area. With study of 550 key plant species, 54 plant sp. were recognized as a climatic discriminates. After that the comparison of plant discriminate of climate and climatic classes of classification systems for each plant carried out. For this purpose, the methods of census correct observation and scoring them according to their importance were applied. The results showed that the obtained climatic classes of adjusted Demarton, Thornth weite, Emberge were respectively more precise than other systems in the study area. Finally the results were examined using the none-parametric test of Man-Vitni. On the basis of this analysis, significant differences also were observed between the treatments.

Abstract:
In this research bacterial and fungal pathogens of poplar were studied. For this aim, different poplar clones were visited in Guilan (research center of agriculture and natural resours of Guilan, safrabaste research satation, Astane, ziabaran and lakan road). The fungi Marsonina catagnei (Desm & Mont.) Magn. ، Cytospora chrysosperma (Pers.: Fr.) Fr., Ulocladium atrum Precuss., Papularia sp., Pestalotiopsis populi-nigra, Alternaria alternate, Melampsora larici-populina were isolated. Pathogenecity test of fungi isolates (Ulocladium atrum Precuss., Papularia sp., Pestalotiopsis populi-nigra, Alternaria alternate ) were executed on leaves of poplar that the result was positive. The fungi Pestalotiopsis populi-nigra and Ulocladium atrum were isolated for the first time on poplar trees in Iran. Any symptom of canker did not observe on poplars of Guilan. The samples were collected from cankers on 1-2 years old branches and trunks in Zanjan, Markazi, West Azarbayjan, Kermanshah and Hamadan provinces and their extract was cultured on YDC medium. Bacterial colonies isolated of samples taken from Markazi and Zanjan provinces were yellow on YDC and mucoid on SNA medium. All isolates of these two provinces, showed hypersensitive reaction on pepper and tobacco leaves. They were aerobic and gram negative.

Abstract:
High yield and stable grain yield of wheat cultivars in different environments is very important in breeding program. This study is conducted for controlling of new lines and variety with local check in farmer field in dry land condation at farahan- farmahin near to Arak (Markazi province) during 2008-2009. Expriment was conducted using a RCBD with 3 replications. In this study 6 promising and superior lines from cold zoon ERWYT C-84-1, C-84-18, C-84-19, C-85-9, C-85-11 and C-85-19 were compared with antother and sardary and Azar-2 such as check. Result of analysis of variance showed that genotypes ERWYT.C-85-11 and Azar-2 with average grain yield of 684 and 636 kg ha-1 respectively had highest yield.

Abstract:
This research compares the indices efficiency of Artemisia sieberi and Astragalus ammodendron distribution pattern in Markazi province. In the key area of each site 4 transects (100m) were established based on random- systematic sampling method. Vegetation sampling was performed along each of transects in 15 selected points. Distance indices included Johnson and Zimer, Eberhart, Pielou, Hopkines and Holgate were used in each point. The distance of understudy plants to nearest plant, distance among selected plant and its nearest neighbor, and distance between the point and the second plant was measured. Quadrate indices included Green, Lioyd, Morisita and Standardized Index of Morisita. In all 15 points, density parameter of selected species was estimated. Results showed A. sieberi distribution pattern has equally and, A. ammodendron has random with a tendency toward clumped pattern. The More was in equality of the species, the more in converging of distance and quadrate indices. However the accuracy of distance methods was more than quadrate methods. Generally, those vegetation types that distributed clumped pattern showed less efficient quadrate indices due to the problems of number, area and shape of quadrates. So, quadrate indices show higher tendency to random pattern.

Abstract:
Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko), is a serious pest of small grains in the world. Chemical control of the pest is diffecult, however, host plant resistance is an environmental-friendly and economic method. To evaluate resistance to RWA in different wheat cultivars and advanced lines, an experiment was conducted in several regions. Experimental field was comprised of two similar parts, one of them (check) was sprayed two times with Metosystox at the rate of 1.5 per thousand, and the other one was sprayed simutaneously with water. Reared aphids from colonies were evenly distributed in the part one. By weekly inspection, 4 palnts were clipped from each plot, and then in the labratoary number of aphids (adults and nymphs), and damage rate were recorded. Yield and yield components were measured for sprayed and unsprayed parts. Resistance components were evaluated and plant resistance index (PRI) was calculated. Results of different locations were as follow: Esfahan province: Cultivars and lines of M-75-7 and Mahdavi had the lowest resistance rate, and M-73-18, M-73-4, and M-78-7 had the highest rate among 15 cultivars and lines. There was a significant difference for total yield (straw+ grain) between sprayed and unsprayed parts. Similar results were obtianed in resistance componets experiments, so that M-73-4 and M-73-18 had the highest and Mahdavi had the lowest PRIs.

Jamzad, Ziba

Abstract:
The floristic studies and identification of the plant species in different provinces of Iran will provide essential data for different research subjects associated with plants and natural resources. Referring to the research project titled "collection and identification of the flora of different provinces of Iran and development of provincial herbaria which was executed in two phases" in a period of 10 years, valuable data were provided about the flora and vegetation of provinces. The results should have been classified, arranged and published in the format of flora to be available to researchers, students and conservationists. The preparation of provincial floras project was defined to be executed in the following provinces: East Azaerbayjan, Hamadan, Kermanshah, Kordestan, Loresta and Qhazvin in 1384 and in the next year (1385) for Markazi, Esfahan and Khorasan. The floristic list of each province was prepared based on the new collections and identification of species in each of the mentioned herbaria, different floras, the Iranian Journal of Botany and thesis concerning floristic and vegetation studies. The families and genera of each province were listed and the identification keys were prepared for families, then genera and species in different plant families. The species are provided with a description, geographical distribution in the province and in Iran. In each province the endemic species of Iran and those specific to the province were identified.
