About 66% of cultivetid area of wheat in Iran was belonged to ranifed cropping systems. Current estimation showed that Iran needs to approximately 25 billion ton of wheat in 2021. Land suitability for a particular agricultural crop such as wheat requires consideration of many criteria. Evaluation of the environmental components and understanding of local biophysical restraints can help to determine the suitable areas for agricultural landuse. Topographic characteristics, climatic conditions and the soil quality of an area are the most important parameters to evaluate land suitability. The objective of this research was evaluation of environmetal variables and agroecological zoning of Gonbad–e-Kavous township for rainfed wheat cultivation by potential and spatial analysis of geographic information system (GIS) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Mterials and methods: At the fisrt agroecological requirements of crop identified according to scientific resources. Then, thematic requirement maps were provided. In this research, studied environmental variables were annual, autumn, spring and May precipitations, average, minimum and maximum temperatures, germination temperature, the maximum temperature in heading and grain filling stages, slope percent, elevation, slope aspect, OM, pH, and EC.

Since the work of J.J. Heckel (1846-1849), the number of valid species has increased significantly and the systematic status of many of the species has changed, and reorganization and updating of the published information has become essential. Here we take the opportunity to provide a new and updated checklist of freshwater fishes of Iran based on literature and taxon occurrence data obtained from natural history and new fish collections. This article lists 288 species in 107 genera, 28 families, 22 orders and 3 classes reported from different Iranian basins. However, presence of 23 reported species in Iranian waters needs confirmation by specimens.

  • Exogenous 5-Azacitidine Accelerates Flowering and External GA3
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Exogenous 5‑azaCitidine accelerates fowering and external GA3 increases ornamental value in Iranian Anemone accessions Vahideh Yari1, Zeynab Roein1* & Atefeh Sabouri2* The Anemone genus is a tuberous geophyte which undergoes a dormancy period during unfavorable environmental conditions for growth. Five species of the Anemone genus naturally grow in several regions of Iran. The diverse uses of Anemone in gardens for landscaping, cut fowers, and potted plants indicate its high ornamental potential. Its dormancy and fowering are infuenced by various factors. The present paper was conducted to explore the fowering behavior of Anemone accessions in response to diferent pre‑treatments. For this purpose, tubers of 18 Anemone accessions (A. coronaria and A. bifora) were collected from natural regions of six provinces in Iran. These tubers were subjected to diferent conditions of non‑chilling (20 °C, 90 days), chilling (4 °C, 90 days), GA3 (150 mgL‑1; 24 h), and 5‑azaCitidine (5‑azaC; 40 µM; 24 h) prior to the cultivation. Most of the accessions were able to enter the fowering stage without chilling. The shortest period for the sprouting of tubers (16.89 ± 7.83 days) belonged to 5‑azaC pre‑treatment. In addition, this treatment accelerated the fowering time (about 30 days earlier) and diameter of the stem, bud, and fower. Morphological characteristics, such as stem height, number of leaves, bud, and petal and the longevity of fowers on the plant were signifcantly afected by GA3 pre‑treatment. Our results indicated a positive correlation between fower length, stem height, and stem diameter with fower longevity under diferent pre‑ treatment conditions.

The initial estimate of the earthquake depth is estimated to be 10km. The earthquake had two foreshocks on August 17, 2014; one at 3:45 pm with Mb4.6 and one at 7:17 pm (local times) with Mb4.8. These two foreshocks led to the evacuation of many citizens; fortunately during the mainshock no one was killed. 250 people were however reported injured and about 12,000 were made homeless. About 2500 tents have been distributed in the meizoseismal zone by the Iranian Red Crescent Society. The earthquake occurred near the Balarud E-W directed fault (a part of the Zagros Mountain Front Flexure; ZMFF) and the Dalpari fault (NW-SE trend) that is traced about 10km to the west of the epicenter.
