It tracks the effects of the insecticides, Deltamethrin, Malathion and Abamectin through the feeding by mouth, on the midgut epithelial layer, in order to show the histological changes. Histological study on samples of the foragers honey bee workers, after exposure to insecticides for 24 hours, was chosen as the average -concentration of the insecticide concentrations, which were used for each as follows: Deltamethrin 2.50 ppm, Malathion 3.125 ppm and Abamectin 0.1 ppm, in addition to the control group. Studying the effect of each insecticide individually and then comparing the reaction and impact of these insecticides on the tissue of midgut has showed that the insecticide Malathion was more harmful to epithelial tissue midgut in honey bees cells than Abamectin, while Deltamethrin had the least effect. Therefore, the life of the foragers honeybee worker depends upon the health and safety of the entire members of the beehive, so it is necessary to take into account, when using the application of insecticides, the continuity of life of the entire society adoption of individuals beehive on worker bees layer depends on their life on this layer of the bee community.","PeriodicalId":254766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Abdulaziz University-meteorology, Environment and Arid Land Agriculture Sciences","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129108088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The used explants in this study were intermodal segments and collected from the one year old lemon seedlings which obtained from the Citrus Research Center, Najran, Saudi Arabia. The experiments were laid out in a split plot design using 4 replicates. The results revealed that there were significant differences due to genotypic and growth regulators effects and their interaction for all measured parameters except no of days to buds sprouting. Explants of ‘Shehri’ registered maximum values of no. of days to buds sprouting with 0.5mg/l Kin +0.5mg/l 2,4-D, % sprouted buds with 0.5mg/l BAP, % dead shootlets with 2mg/l BAP+0.5mg/l 2-,4D and length of primary shoots (mm) 1mg/l BAP+0.5mg/l 2-,4D. Shoots of ‘AlnEurka’ formed the highest no. of leaves with 0.5mg/l BAP+1mg/l 2-,4D. Low responses were observed for explants from ‘Shaary’, ‘Banzahir’ and ‘Aln-Eurka’ on culture medium supplemented with high concentration of BAP alone or with combination of 2,4D. There were observed no sprouted buds for explants of ‘Shehri’ on culture medium complemented with high concentrations of Kin in combinations with 2,4D.

The experimental design was a split plot design with four replications. The main plots were three irrigation intervals (15, 21 and 28 days), while the subplots contained two methods of potassium application (side dressing and fertigation). Results indicated that, shorter irrigation intervals improved yield and yield components of wheat crop. The best yield was obtained from 15 days irrigation interval followed by 21 days. Longer irrigation interval (28 days) produced the least yield and yield components due to water stress conditions. Applying potassium with irrigation water improved yield of wheat crop and potassium contents in grain and straw yields compared to side dressing application. Also it increased the available potassium in soils.","PeriodicalId":254766,"journal":{"name":"Journal of King Abdulaziz University-meteorology, Environment and Arid Land Agriculture Sciences","volume":"58 36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114097603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of line-tester design showed that Giza656 lines had the highest yield for the cross with Gemmiza 1021 tester (7.20 ton per hectare) at Nubaria, while Giza655 lines had the highest yield for the cross with Gemmiza 1021 tester (8.24 ton per hectare) at Gemmiza. Regarding Heterotic specific and General Combining Abilities, the inbred lines were grouped into three groups as their testers were, but groups differed from Nubaria to Gemmiza locations. The classification due to Inter Simple Sequence Repeats markers have agreement with pedigree data more than the HSGCA and agronomic characters, because the HSGCA method affected by testers, lines, environments, and the interactions between all of them, also, agronomic character method need to plant the inbreds and evaluate them at more locations and more seasons .Furthermore, all these cautions will not discard the environmental effects but they will reduce it to the minimum values.

Six treatment were used as follows: Seed priming with Ascorbic acid (AA) and irrigation till heading (T1), seed priming with Salicylic acid (SA) and irrigation till heading (T2), seed priming with distilled water and irrigation till heading (T3), spraying with silicon and irrigation till heading (T4), dry seeds cultivation and irrigation till heading (T5) and dry seeds cultivation and all season irrigation (T6). The results indicated that post anthesis stress decreased grain yield by 17.1 % and 100-grain weight by 11.96 %, as an average of the two seasons. Hydropriming and osmopriming with salicylic acid, in addition to spraying with silicon, decreased the effect of drought and barley plants gave comparable grain yield to that of non-stress conditions.
