Abstract: This study was conducted in order to purify glycomacropeptide from both whey goat and cow. Thereafter, The molecular properties of purified glycomacropeptide and its effects as antioxidant were studied. Furthermore, the ability of pasteurized milk, unpasteurized milk, and whey protein for each used milk were studied to measure their effects as antioxidants. The results were as follow : 1 - Glycomacropeptide protein was separated using TCA method and boiling temperature method with alcohol. The TCA method showed sufficient results by giving more production with high activity for isolated protein compared to temperature method with alcohol, thus TCA method was used in this study. Sephadex G - 25 was used to purify both whey goat and cow. After that, electrophoresis technique was assigned by using polyacrylamide gel in order to be sure about the purity of isolated protein (one band).2 - The percentage of carbohydrate, protein, sialic acid of glycomacropeptide from both whey goat and cow were 27.5%, 32 %, 19.9%, 25%, 12% and 17 %, respectively.3 - The molecular weight of glycomacropeptide protein was 27 kDa and 29 kDa for both cow milk and goat milk, respectively.4 - The ability of pasteurized milk, unpasteurized milk, and whey protein for each used milk were studied to measure their effects as antioxidants. The results were as follow : A : The antioxidant activity of glycomacropeptide protein from goat milk was more effective to prevent linoleic acid oxidation compared to cow milk, while whey protein had less antioxidant activity compared to glycomacropeptide.B : Glycomacropeptide protein exhibited high values of H2O2 scavenging activity. The scavenging activity was 92.145 % and 95.678 % at concentration 5 mg/ml compared to ascorbic acid and rutin, which were 76.955 % and 66.920%, respectively.C : The reducing power was 139.21 % and 96.13 % compared to others samples, while the reducing power was less than tocopherol and BHT, which were 195.8 % and 226.48 %, respectively.D : Glycomacropeptide protein exhibited higher ferric - reducing activity at 5 mg/ml, while ferric - reducing activities of goat and cow milk were 89.696 % and 98.269 % for EDTA and citric acid, respectively.E : The stability of Glycomacropeptide protein and whey protein was determined as antioxidants through controlling three variables (temperature, pH and synergistic factor). Glycomacropeptide protein of goat milk showed higher stability compared to the whey at 75 mg/ml in all used variablesF : Glycomacropeptide protein from goat and cow milk was added to stored fish oil at 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08 g/ g at 45 C for 50 days. The results revealed that the hydrogen peroxide and TBA were decreased using 0.08 g/g .

Abstract: Two agricultural experiments were conducted to study the role of silicon in reducing the effect of salinity of irrigation water and toxicity of some heavy metals (Cd,Mn, and Pb) and growth of maize plant ( Zea mays L. ). The first experiment was consists five levels of silicon ( 0 , 75 , 150 , 225 and 300 mg Si Kg - 1 soil ) as the form of potassium silicate ( K2SiO3 ) which was added with irrigation water prepared previously in four saline levels with electrical conductivity ( 2 , 4 , 6 and 8 dSm - 1 ) to field capacity level. These four levels of saline water were added to two different soils , Abu - Al khasib soil (silty clay loam) and Al - Zubeir soil ( loamy sand) soil .The experiment was conducted in plastic pots by using factorial experiment with three factors 2 × 5 × 4 (soils × silicon levels × irrigation water salinity levels ) with three replicates to be 120 units for all experiment . After two months of planting, the shoot and root of plant were collected and dry weight of each them was recorded. Silicon , nitrogen , phosphorus , potassium , calcium , magnesium and sodium concentration were measured, at the same the time uptake of these elements and potassium to sodium ratio were measured . leaf area , electrolyte leakage , and electrical conductivity ( EC ) of soil were measured after planting.In general and in most of them, the results pointed out that there was an increasing in all studied parameters with the increasing of silicon levels with statistical differences especially in the level 300 mg Si Kg - 1 soil where the percentage of this treatment was superior in contrast with control where was more than 209% of dry weight of shoot and nearly 200% of dry weight of root.The results indicated that Abul - Kaseeb soil was surpassed with most studied parameters significantly. There was a significant effects of salinity water in decreasing all plant parameters, while the bi and tri interactions treatments didn't reach significant effect for shoots and roots accept cadmium and magnesium concentration .Four levels of silicon ( 0 , 75 , 150 and 300 mg Si Kg - 1 soil ) with three heavy metals ( Cd , Mn and Pb ). Cadmium ( 0 , 5 , 10 , 15 mg Cd Kg - 1 soil ) , manganese ( 0 , 200 , 400 , 800 mg Mn Kg - 1 soil ) lead ( 0 , 200 , 400 , 600 mg Pb Kg - 1 soil ), in second agricultural experiment were used in pot experiment for Abu - Al khasib soil with complete randomized design of factorial experiment with two factors ( 4 × 4 ) ( silicon level × element level ) with three replicates to confirm 48 units for each element . After 60 days of planting , the plants wereharvested and collected for both shoot and root , dry weight of each of them were recorded . ( Si , Cd , Mn and Pb ) contention in shoot and root were measured. The results appeared that there was superior of dry weight, Si contention of root and shoot due to Si addition in contrast with the control in all studied treatments of heavy metals specially level 300 mg Si Kg - 1 soil . As well , addition heavy metals in its most lead to decreasing weight of shoot and root with statistical differences whereas this addition of heavy metals leads to increasing of plant concentration from them with significant levels. As regards twofold interaction effect , of addition Si with heavy metals on growth parameters was no statistical differences of most of treatments except interaction effect of ( Cd contention ) in Cd treatment , dry weight of Mn experiment , Si contention , Pb concentration in Pb experiment for both of shoot and root were significant differences .

Abstract: Field experiment was hold during the winter growing season (2015 - 2016) in Al - Qurna district located 80 km north of Basra city in clay - loam soil. The aim of this scenario was to study the effect of four levels of compound fertilizer with some of trace elements in the growth characteristics and yield quality for three cultivars of broad bean (Vicia faba L.). Split - plot was arranged in Randomized complete Block Design (R.C.B.D) with three replicates. The main plots had the first factor that was fertilizer (10 - 10 - 30) NPK levels (zero, 100, 200 and 300 kg NPK ha - 1), which its symbolized by (F0, F1, F2 & F3) respectively. Sub plots had the second factor (the cultivars), which they were Aquadeljy (Turkish), Wakwadolus (Holland) and Los De Aotono (Spanish), which its symbolized by (V1, V2 & V3) respectively. The results showed the V1 cultivar significantly superior in number of days from planting to the first flower appearance by (61.25 days), but the highest level of 100 seed weight (119.80 g) was recorded by V2 cultivar. On the other hand, V3 cultivar recorded the highest level of seed yield, biological yield, protein yield and protein percentage in which they was (3717, 7623, 1171.4 kg ha - 1 and 30.50%) respectively. The other characteristics (plant height, plant tillers, number of pods in plant, seeds number per pod, yield per plant and harvest index) was not significant among the cultivars. On the other hand, treatment F0 of fertilizer showed the significant affect in the days from planting to the appearance of the first flower (58.67 days), but the treatment F3 appeared the highest level of plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, yield per plant, seeds yield, protein yield and protein percentage, which they was (82.2 cm, 10.10 pods plant - 1, 40.03 seed pod - 1, 47.2 g plant - 1, 4673 kg ha - 1, 1451.6 kg ha - 1 and 30.70 %) respectively. While the 100 seeds weight was recorded at the treatment F1, the other characteristics such as biological yield and harvest index did not affected by the fertilizer treatments . The combination among the treatments wassignificant just in number of pods in plant and protein percentage, whereas the combination of V3F3 gave the highest number of pods per plant (11.80 pod plant - 1) and protein percentage (32.7%) .

Abstract: The present study describes the composition of fish assemblage of the Garmat Ali River by adopting the ecological indices, and focusing on the changes in the structure of fish assemblage and the environmental factors. The ecological status of the river was evaluated by applying water quality index (CCME - WQI) and fish integrated biological index (F - IBI).Water and fish samples were collected on monthly basis, from the three stations during the period from November 2015 to October 2016.The study showed that air temperature ranged from 17.3ºC in December to 35.7 ºC in September, water temperature varied from 14.3 ºC in December to 32.7 ºC in September, transparency fluctuated from 17.7cm in July to 55.0cm in January, salinity ranged between1.5‰ in June to 6.0‰ in December and the pH varied from 7.2 in August to 8.3 in November. Water quality index of the river was classified as marginal (WQI= 49.5%). A total 34 fish species belonging to 26 genus and 16 families were caught using seine net, fixed gill net and electro - fishing, all species belong to Osteichthyes. Cyprinidae is a dominant family represented by seven species.The number of species caught was 9 in January and 25 in May. The fish fauna consisted of 18 marine, eight native and eight exotic species. The resident species consisted of 14 species, three species seasonal and 17 species occasional. Poecilia latipinna was the most abundant species numerically and in weight comprising 57.66% and 35.45%, respectively, followed by Tenualosa ilisha (15.29%, 22.38%). The third position in number was occupied with Thryssa whiteheadi (7.96%), but Carassius auratus in weight (10.16%). The dominance value (D3) for the more three abundant species in number (P. latipinna, T. ilisha and T. whiteheadi) was 80.91%, while in weight was 67.99% for P. latipinna, T. ilisha and C. auratus.The overall numerical diversity index ranged from 0.47 in February to 1.66 in October, but the weight diversity index ranged between 0.79 in February and 2.05 in April. The overall numerical evenness index varied from 0.23 in February and 0.63 in October, andthe weight evenness ranged between 0.37 in February and 0.73 in November. The overall richness index ranged from 1.05 in February to 2.26 in April.Associations between the numbers of species and individuals of fish and the environmental variables were clarified by using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). The analysis was indicated that T.whiteheadi, T. vetrirostris, Coptodon zilli , Oreochromis aureus C. auratus and T. ilisha have been associated with water temperature, and P. latipinna has been associated with salinity.Cluster analysis reveals five main groups according to the Jaccared similarity index and three major groups according to Schooner' s similarity index. The integrated biological index (IBI) scores were calculated from 15 separate assemblage metrics based on the fish species richness, species composition and trophic guilds. The ecological status of the river was found to be impaired (F - IBI=46.5%).The study shows that the deterioration of the water quality of the Garmat Ali River during the last years, which reflects the deterioration of the water quality of both Shatt Al - Arab and East Hammar marsh, has affected on the composition of fish assemblage of the river fish in terms of the decrease in the number of native or endemic species and the increase in the numbers of marine and exotic species. This is confirmed by the value of F - IBI, which reflect the state of the ecological disturbance of the river.

Abstract: The current study was conducted in the Laboratory of Plant Tissue Culture, College of Agriculture, University of Basrah during the period of 2013 - 2015. The aim of this study was micro propagation of dahlia plant (Dahlia variabilis Wild. (Desf.)), using several methods of In vitro culture. This study was conducted several experiments involving test source of explants and the effect of growth regulators in various stages of propagation, and the results of the study are as follows : - 1. The germination percentage of seeds that cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2+0.3 mg.l - 1 combination BA and NAA respectively was 100% , while the seeds did not germinate when they cultured on MS medium provided of concentration of 0+0, 1+0 and 1+0.3 mg.l - 1 each of BA and NAA.2. The germination percent of seeds cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2+0.3 mg.l - 1 BA and NAA that grown in darkness reached 100% . but these seeds did not germinated when they grown in the light.3. Shoot tip was superior significantly on the epicotyl in the percentage of shoot multiplication, which reached in each 86.67% and 43.33% respectively. While cotyledonary leaves, nodal and root segments did not show any response to shoot multiplication.4. The shoot tip cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.0+2.0 combination of BA and NAA gave the highest rates for the number of shoots, shoot length, number of leaves and leaf area, which reached 5.00 shoots, 3.33 cm, 5.33 leaves and 0.40 cm2, respectively. This combination was superior significantly on other combinations of BA and NAA (1.5+1.5, 2.5+2.5 and 3.0+3.0 mg.l - 1).5. The results showed that the shoot base segment formed direct adventitious shoots when cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.0+2.0, 2.5+2.5 and 3.0+3.0 mg.l - 1 combinations of BA and NAA. But, that shoot base segment cultured on MS medium supplemented with 1.5+1.5 mg.l - 1 combination of BA and NAA showed no response to the formation of shoots after eight weeks of culture. Also, theresults showed that the shoot segments cultured on MS medium supplemented with 2.0+2.0 mg.l - 1 combination of BA and NAA has superior significantly rules on other combinations of BA and NAA in the number and length of shoots (10.00 shoots and 6.67 cm, respectively).6. Shoot tips and nodal segments cultured on MS medium supplemented with 3.0 +3.0 mg.l - 1 combination of BA and NAA were superior significantly on epicotyl in the percentage of callus induction, which reached 75.00%, 60.67% and 23.33%, respectively, after eight weeks of culture. The other explants (cotyledonary leaves and root segments) cultured on the same components of the medium, they did not respond to the induction of callus.7. The shoot tips were growing on MS medium supplemented with 3.0+3.0 mg.l - 1 combination of BA and NAA gave a large amount of callus. While these shoot tips cultured on MS medium supplied with 1.5+1.5 mg.l - 1 did not give any response to the induction of callus.8. The results showed indirect organogenesis from callus developing from the shoot tip and epicotyl on MS medium added with 3.0+3.0 mg.l - 1 combination of BA and NAA while cotyledonary leaves, nodal and root segments did not respond to organogenesis when cultured on the same medium components.9. The two combinations of BA and NAA (2.0+2.0 and 2.5+2.5 mg.l - 1) were superior significantly on the 3.0+3.0 mg.l - 1 combination in the number and length of shoots producing from the developing callus of shoot tip, which reached : (6.3 and 5.67) shoots and (6. 67 and 5.67) cm, respectively. While the shoot tips did not respond to organogenesis when cultured on MS medium added to 1.5+1.5 mg.l - 1 combination of BA and NAA.10. The shoots cultured on half strength of MS medium supplemented with 1.5 mg.l - 1 NAA were superior significantly on other concentrations (0.5 and 1.0 mg.l - 1), in the percentage of rooting, the number of secondary roots and root length which reached 81.67%, 10.33 root and 1.47 cm respectively .11. The adventitious shoots cultured on half strength of MS medium added to 0.6 mg.l - 1 IBA and 45 gm.l - 1 sucrose gave the highest percentage of rooting and the highest rates of the number of primary and secondary roots and root length.12. Dahlia plants were acclimatized a high success rate of 100% when cultured in plastic pods containing a mixture of fine sand and peat - moss sterilized by 2 : 1.

Abstract: Addrressed study in alimentary gut morphology and relationship feeding of three fish species with different food habits i.e. Leuciscus vorax (Shilik) as a carnivore, Planiliza abu (Khishni) as an omnivore and Oreochromis aureus (tilapia) as a herbivore and the activity of alpha - amylase enzyme. Each species was divided into two length groups : 1 - Shilik 300≥ (227 fish) and ˂300 mm (117 fish) .2 - Khishni 100≥ (508 fish) and ˂ 100 mm (706 fish) .3 - Tilapia 150≥ (270 fish) and 150 mm ˂ (309 fish) .Fish were sampled monthly during the period from February 2014 to January 2015 using cast net and an electrical apparatus. Air temperature in the study area during that period ranged between 14 and 33°C and water temperature between 12 and 32 °C, while salinity ranged between 1.42 and 2.9 ppt.Appearance of Shilik mouth was characterized by a superior position, toothless jaws and barbells. The mouth position in Khishni and Tilapia was terminal with an extension of buccal cavity. Khishni lacked mandibular teeth which related to its feeding habits, while 3 - 4 rows of teeth were existed in the lower jaw of tilapia to cut plants parts.The three fish species has four branchial arches which were different in length reflecting the respiratory and feeding needs. the average length of the first arch of Shilik for the two length groups were 34.93 and 73.42 mm, in Khishni 13.96 and 19.41 mm and in tilapia between 22.63 and 37.86 mm, respectively. Gill rakers of the three species differ in length and number to accommodate their feeding habits. The average length of gill rakers in Shilik was 1.78 and 3.78 mm, in Khishni it reached 1.09 and 4.12 mm and in tilapia were between 1.91 and 2.06 mm. The number of gill rakers differed between species and ranged in Shilik between 10 - 12 to 12 - 14, in Khishni between 45 - 55 to 62 - .55 while in tilapia 21 - 22 to 22 - 24. The pharyngeal teeth in Shilik substituted the absence of mandibular teeth and its equation was ( 5.3 - 3.5). Khishni oral cavity contain a pair of pharyngeal teeth with a rough surface helps in grinding sand and mud solid particles with a length ranged from 5.14 to 8.02 mm and a width from 3.34 to 4.78 mm. Tilapia length of pharyngeal teeth were 4.91 and 9.61 mm, and the width was 4.37 and 7.28 mm.It was possible to distinguish two gut areas in the three species depending on diameter, where the anterior was wider than posterior area. The anteriorbintestine thickness were 23.74 , 4.29 and 3.34 mm, while the posterior thickness were 7.28 , 2.42 and 1.62, respectively. These differences confirm the variations in feeding habits. The relative gut length (RGL) of Shilik was 1.11 and 1.08 mm for the two length groups with no significant correlation with the standard length. In Khishni, it was 2.79 and 3.45 mm with 7 - 9 loops and the statistical analysis did not show significant correlation with standard length.The gizzard of Khishni through which food coarse are crushed, reached a width, height and wall thickness of its wall of 8, 4.26, 2.84 and 12.24, 6.24 and 4.59 mm, respectively. Tilapia RGL were 9.50 and 10.25, respectively.The stomach contents of the studied species were examined by dissected and compound microscope, using weight percentages, points and frequency of occurrence methods to calculate the index of relative importance (IRI). The three species showed similar patterns in the feeding intensity and activity during the study period with lowest values recorded during summer and the highest during spring.Result levins index showed That individual of the Shulik were small narrow specialization (0.27) and large (0.25) highly specialized, with fishes Khushnia (0.42 and 0.37) and blu tilapia (0.32 and 0.32) and were narrow specialization of small and large individual, respectively.The results of proximate analysis showed differences in the natural food of the three species depending on the feeding habits of these fish. The moisture content and energy where(%69.47 and 26.82 kcal / gm) ,(% 52.23 and 5.08 kcal/ gm) ,(%61.25 and 5.40 kcal / g) for smaller length , while it was (%68.93 and 11.50 kcal / gm) , (%55.14 and 5.01 kcal/ gm ),( %64.75% and 6.08% kcal/ gm) for larger lengths. The percentages of ash and organic matter rated (%51.57 , 48.43 and %31.96 , 68.0 and %47.53 , 52.46) for smaller lengths and (%23.56, 76.44 and %36.75, 63.24 and %44.57, 55.41) for large lengths. Organic carbon rate was higher (1,72 and 2.94 and 1.61) during summer, winter and autumn for first length group of Shilik, Khishni and tilapia, respectively, while second length group reached higher rate (1.61 and 2.67 and 1.72) during spring and autumn in Shilik, spring, summer and autumn in Khishni, and only autumn in blu tilapia.Alpha - amylase showed an elevated enzymatic activity in herbivorous and omnivorous in comparison with carnivorous fish confirming its main function in the hydrolysis of starch molecules .

Abstract: This study was carried out in the laboratories of Plant Protection Department / Agriculture College / University of Basrah, while the field experiment has been done at the fields of wheat in, Qurna, North of Basrah during the season of 2013 - 2014. in orderd to know the causal agent of the wheat death and stunting phenomena. The results of isolation, identification and pathogenicity test revealed that Rhizoctonia solani was the causal pathogen agent of wheat bare patch disease. The evaluation of efficiency of Trichoderma harzianum and Moncut fungicide and their interaction were done. The study showed that bare patch disease spread in all fields in Qurna and some fields in Mudainah. The highest percentage of disease incidence was recorded in Jurf - Alsakher which was 7.9%, while the lowest percentage was recorded in Nahr Salih fields which was 2.1% . Pathogenicity test showed that the isolate Rs1 which was isolated from Qurna - Mzeraa was more virulent than Rs2 isolate which was isolated from Jurf - Alsakher. Results also explained that 25ºC and pH 5 were the best temperature and pH values for the growth of the fungus. On the other hand it was found that both isolates RS1 and RS2 were able to grow at high salinity ranges from 6 - 16 ds.m - 1.The results also showed that the bioagent T. harzianum has a high antagonistic ability against isolates of R.solani (Rs1 and Rs2) with antagonism degree reached (1) according to Bell scale . It's also found that both isolates give positive detection for cellulase , protease and polyphenol oxidase enzymes, while they gave negative detection for lipase . It is also noticed that culture filtrate of Rs1 and Rs2 treated or non - treated with heat effected on seed germination and reduced the percentage to 0% compared to 100% in control treatment.BThe laboratorial experiments revealed that Moncut fungicide was the most effective among all tested fungicides , the growth inhibition reached 50.55 and 42.22% for Rs1 and Rs2 isolates respectively, and 7.33% for T. harzianum . On the other hand the concentrations of 150 and 200 ppm of Moncut fungicide were most effective among all concentrations to inhibit growth of RS1 and RS2 isolates on PDA, which reached 62.2, 66.3, 75.7 and 80.9% for both isolates and concentrations respectively.Pot experiment elucidated that the treatment of T. harzianum + Moncut + RS1 or RS2 increased wheat seeds germination up to 74.7 and 60.35% respectively compared to 41 and 29.6% for R1 and R2 alone respectively. It is also found that T+M+R1 and T+M+R2 reduced seed decay to 26.3 and 31.6 respectively compared to 59 and 71.33% for treatments R1 and R2 respectively, also they increased the number of offshoots, plant height, fresh and dry weight for shoot and root systems.Field experiment results revealed that the treatment T+M+R1 and T+M+R2 led to increase seed germination percentage and reduced seed decay percentage to 89.67, 10.33, 82.0 and 12.0% respectively compared to 50, 45.33, 50 and 54.67 for treatments R1 and R2 alone. It's also observed that T+M+R1 and T+M+R2 increased off shoot number , plant height , fresh and dry weight for both shoots and root system which reached 7.2, 6.6, 59.66, 55.89, 25.16, 22.56, 2.76, 2.42, 6.49, 6.37, 0.59, 0.66 respectively in comparison with the treatments of R1 and R2 alone which were 4.4, 4.1,41, 38.33, 10.86, 9.51, 1.28, 1.02, 2.67, 2.55, 0.29,0.23 respectively. Also, these treatments gave best number of spikes which was 476.4 and 461.3 spike/m2 respectively. From other hand the number of seeds also increased it reached 39.67 and 34.7 seed/spike respectively, These treatments also led to increase the weight of 1000 seeds up to 41 and 39.27 gm respectively compared to the pathogen treatments R1 and R2 alon

Five sampling stations were chosen. Ecological diversity indices were adopted, with a focus on the dietary relations among species of fish larvae and the possibility of dietary overlap within larvae. Two sampling methods were adopted to collect the samples, plankton nets with mesh sizes 100 - 300µm and a wooden quadrate to collect aquatic plants that may exist upon fish eggs and larvae. Water temperature of the studied area ranged form 11.2ºC in January to 33 ºC in August. Salinity ranged form 1.81‰ in December to 3.3‰ in August. Light penetration ranged from 20 cm in July to 150 cm in January. A total of 360 samples were collected, 72 samples from each station. These samples included 7220 fish eggs belonged to three families and 7360 fish larvae belonged to five fish families. The eggs were identified Cyprinidae included Cyprinus carpio and Carassuis auratus, Mugilidae (Liza abu) and Cyprinodontidae (Aphanius sp.). The eggs of L. abu were prevailed at stations 1,3 and 4, and the eggs of C. carpio and C. auratus at stations 2 and 5. The eggs of C. carpio , C. auratus and L. abu were presented in four months ( February - May), and Aphanius sp. from April to July with peak during April. The eggs of L. abu , C. carpio and C. auratus were most abundant during March. Larvae were classified into five families included. Cyprinidae, which included the larvae of C. carpio , C. auratus and A. mossulensis, whereas, Mugilidae included a single species ( L. abu), and Cyprinodontidae, where the larvae were classified to the species level Aphanius sp., Clupeidae represented by Tenualosa ilisha, and Hemiramphidae by Hemiramphus sp.. Larvae of L. abu prevailed on other species in the five stations, and the larvae of C. carpio came in second place in the stations 1,2 and 3. Larvae of Aphanius sp. Occupied second place in station 3 and the larvae of T. ilisha in the second place in station 5. Larvae of T. ilisha appeared during six months (March, April and June to August ) with peak during August in station 4, while the larvae of Aphanius sp occurred at five months (April to August), with peak during April in station 3. The larvae of L. abu , C. carpio and C. auratus occurred in four months ( March to May) , with peak in total number during March at station 3, for L. abu and C. auratus and at station 1 for C. carpio. Larvae of Hemiramphus sp. appeared in August at station 5. The abundance of fish eggs and larvae collected from aquatic plants more than provided by using plankton net, as indicated by the results of statistical analysis there were significant differences between station 1 and stations 2,3,4 and 5 in abundance of fish eggs and larvae which were collected by plankton net, and between station 3 and stations 1, 2 and 5 in the abundance of fish larvae collected from aquatic plant. The diversity index (H') for fish larvae ranged between 0 - 1.068, while the richness index (D) ranged between 0 - 0.884 and the evenness index (J) between 0 - 0.739. Cluster analysis show that the highest similarity in the number of fish larvae between station 2 and stations 3, 2 and stations 4, stations 3 and 4. The highest similarity in the total number fish larvae was found between stations 1 and 5, according the Schoener index. The diet analysis was assessed using points and frequency of occurrence methods. No empty larval stomach were recorded during the study period and there is a high feeding activity and feeding intensity. The result of analyzing stomach contents indicated that the fish larvae were generalized feeders, consumed diatom, algae, detritus, copepoda, daphnia and eggs of molluscs. The larvae of C. carpio and C. auratus feed on diatom, while A. mossulensis, Aphanius sp. and T. ilisha on copepoda. The diversity index of gut content ranged form 1.731 for L. abu to 0.762 for C. carpio. The fish larvae differ in intensity of diet overlap depending on the nature of nutrition, and nine significance diet overlaps between larvae were detected. The significance overlaps ranged form 67.10% to 91.73 %. The highest diet overlap (91.73%) between C. carpio and C. auratus. A very strong diet overlap (101.22) between A. mossulensis and Aphanius sp.. No diet overlap were detected between the larvae of C. carpio, C. auratus, T. ilisha, Aphanius sp and A. mossulensis. The study showed the importance of the northern part of the Shatt Al - Arab River as a breeding and nursery ground for some fish

Meat samples were obtained from retail sellers in four different locations of Basrah city (Hartha, 5 miles, Khathara and Zubair) twice a day ; 8 a.m. in the morning and 4 p.m. in the afternoon. Promixate analysis of meat was determined and heavy metals were measured by flam atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results revealed that : 1 - Moisture content was affected significantly (p<0.05) by the type of meat and time of sampling. Percentages were 72.29, 72.61 and 75.23% for the meat of sheep, beef and camel, respectively in the morning and decreased in the afternoon to percentages of 69.12, 68.45 and 69.36% respectively, moisture content of camel meat was higher than that of beef or sheep. 2 - No significant differences were obtained for the percentages of ash between the studied types of meat, while the differences between the percentages of fat were significant, the highest means were for the meat of sheep (4.41 and 3.38%) and the lowest means were for the meat of camel (1.58 and 1.52%) in the morning samples and the afternoon samples respectively.3 - The highest percentages of protein were recorded for the meat of beef (22.26 and 24.72% for the morning and the afternoon samples respectively), while differences between meat of sheep and camel were not significant. Percentages of protein were higher in the samples of 4 p - m., being 23.60, 24.72 and 23.72% for the meat of sheep, beef and camels, respectively. 4 - Concentrations of lead metal in the meat samples differed significantly (p<0.05) between locations. The highest levels were in the samples obtained from Hartha and 5 miles in winter and spring seasons. Also the samples of 4 p.m. contained higher levels than in the 8 a.m. samples, being 98.09, 107.31 and 97.30 µg/g for meat of sheep, beef and camels respectively. 5 - Average cadmium concentrations during the different seasons and different locations varied between 0.23 and 11.94 µg/g. The highest levels were for the samples of 5 miles location and spring season in the meat of sheep, beef and camel (10.99, 10.76 and 11.29 µg/g respectively). No significant effect for the time of sampling on the concentration of cadmium for beef and camel meat except for sheep meat in which the level was 3.56 for the morning samples and raised to 4.41 µg/g in the samples of the afternoon. 6 - Location of sampling had significant effects on concentration of cupper in the meat. The highest levels were in the samples of Khathara and 5 miles during the period of study for the studied types of meat. On the other hand, the level increased significantly (p<0.05) in the winter season in comparison with other seasons, the mean concentrations were 94.31, 95.54 and 51.41 µg/g in the meat of sheep, beef and camel respectively. Time of sampling affected significantly the concentration of cupper in the studied types of meat. 7 - The effect of location was non significant on the concentration of zinc in the meat of beef and camel and significant in the case of sheep meat, its highest mean (165.79 µg/g) was in the Hartha location and lowest mean (150.96 µg/g) in Zubair location. High level of the metal was registered in the spring season in comparison with other seasons in all studied types of meat. Zinc concentration increased with the increase of exposure of meat to atmosphere to reach values of 161.49, 168.45 and 173.56 µg/g in the meat of sheep, beef and camel, respectively. 8 - Level of mercury in the meat was affected by location of sampling, the highest mean concentration was registered in Hartha region. Season of the year affected the level of mercury in meat too. The highest level was found in winter. Concentration of the metal in meat samples at 4 p.m. was higher than at 8 a.m. Values in the meat of sheep, beef and camel were respectively 44.21 , 49.36 and 35.14 µg/g in the meat samples collected in the morning and 46.14, 59.31 and 43.88 µg/g in the meat samples collected in the afternoon.

The results showed that all isolates belonged to Bacillus species which were classified to : Three isolate (By0, Br3 and Bs0) as Bacillus cereus. Four isolates (Bc1, Bc3 and Br4) as Bacillus subtilis. Two isolates (Bc2 and Bw0) as Bacillus coagulans. One isolate (Br1) as Bacillus megaterium. One isolate (Br2) as Bacillus alvei. One isolate (By1) as Bacillus licheniformis. Primary screening results showed that the isolate Bc3 was the best in producing the enzyme cholesterol oxidase (COB).Optimum conditions for producing COB from Bc3 were studied, the optimum values obtained are shown below : - Carbon source : 2% glucose. - Nitrogen source : 0.15% ammonium sulfate. - pH value : 7 - Temperature : 35C° - Inoculum : 3.5% - Shaking speed : 150 shake/min - Incubation period : 24 hrs. - Concentration of Cholesterol : 0.2%.Purification of COB were accomplished as follow : - Ammonium sulfate precipitation (70% saturaqtion). - Gel filtration through sephadex G - 100.Enzyme activity obtained after ammonium sulfate precipitation was 16.66 unit/ml and the specific activity was 111.07 unit/mg. Four peaks were resulted from gel filtration step. The fourth peak was found to contain COB. Activity of COB in the pooled tubes was 6.5 unit/ml and the specific activity was 162 unit/mg, with a recovery of 4.31 and a yield of 1.4%.Poly acrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of the purified COB was conducted to check the purity. One band was noticed which revealed that COB is pure. The molecular weight of COB was estimated by means of SDS - PAGE technique, which was found to be 60 K Dalton. At pH 7 the highest activity of COB was obtained which was 80 unit/ml. This pH value was considered as the optimum pH of the enzyme. However, at a temperature of 50 C and pH 7, the highest activity was gained which was 106.72 unit/ml, therefore, this temperature is regarded as the optimum for COB reaction. COB stability at different pH values showed that the enzyme is stable at a range of 6 - 9. Heat stability of COB when incubated at a temperature range 0 - 80 C for 1 hr showed that the enzyme is stable at 60 C, then started to decrease till it reached at 40 - 60 Cº.Maechalis - Menton constant (Km) and Maximum velocity (Vmax) of COB was found to be 14.2 µ mole and 0.03 µ mole/mint, respectively.An experiment was conducted to examine the ability of COB obtained in this study in degrading cholesterol in milk and yoghurt. The results revealed that COB was efficient to degrade cholesterol in both products under the experiment conditions.Results showed that the enzyme was efficient to degrade cholesterol in milk. Cholesterol level decreased from 155.34 mg/100 ml milk to 35.77 mg/100ml. The enzyme was used to detect its ability in reducing cholesterol content in yoghurt. Results revealed that the enzyme was able to reduce cholesterol percentage from 150.84% in milk to 30.13% in yoghurt when used in amount of unit/100 ml milk. Sensor evaluation of yoghurt for both enzyme treated and non - treated milk had no significant differences. However, yoghurt with added COB got higher degrees than control.

The rams have drawn up in digestion cages (1.2x 0.8x 1 m). Rumen fistula were fixed on these rams. Ration, water,minerals and vitamins blocks were given ad libitum. Random samples of 12 feeds were collected from different areas of Al - Hartha and Qarmit - Ali. These feeds were phragmites australis, Typha domingensis, suaeda fruticosa, Imperata cylinrica, paniccm repens, juncos rigidus, salicorina europaea, alhagi maurorum, barley straw, corn cups, alfalfa hay and date palm seeds. All samples were dried, milled (3mm) and chemically analyzed before incubation into the rumen (0 h) and after 6, 12, 18, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h of incubation. Dry matter and all its chemical component degradability were estimated auording Orskov and McDonald (1979) formula. The results revealed the following : 1 - All feeds showed high level of dry matter content, exceeding 85%, except suaeda fruticosa(41%). Differences in dry matter content among feeds were significant.2 - Protein level of studied feeds was less than 10%, except that of alfalfa hay, suaeda fruticosa and paniccm repens. The differences in protein level of different feeds were significant.3 - Fiber levels and cell wall contents (cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin) were high and exceeded the level of 25%, except that of date palm seed and salicorina europaea (9.8 and 19.4% respectively).4 - Total and effective degradability (a+b and p) of dry matter content of alfalfa hay, alhagi maurorum and salicorina europaea were significantly higher (76.75, 68.74 and 63.03% and 53.8, 34.8 and 34.7% respectively) than that of other studied feeds.5 - All protein degradabilities were high than dry matter of all feeds. Total protein degradabilities of alfalfa hay (70.62%), barley straw(68.60%) and alhagi maurorum (62.74%) were higher than other feeds. However, effective degradabilities of alfalfa hay (57.54%), alhagi maurorum(47.00%) and salicorina europaea (41.98%) were higher than that of other feeds.6 - Total fiber degradability of date palm seeds was 34.54%, which was higher than other feeds (all are less than 23%), specially that of Imperata cylinrica and corn cups (9.32 and 9.23% respectively). Effective degradability of alfalfa hay fiber was 26.14%, which was followed by that of the rest of studied feeds. 7 - Digestibilities (degradation at 48 hours of incubation in the rumen) of dry matter, protein and fiber of alhagi maurorum and salicorina europaea were less than that of alfalfa hay, but they were higher than that of other feeds.8 - Dry matter of different feeds showed negative but not significant correlation with dry matter degradation at different times of incubation. While protein level correlated significantly and positive with dry matter degradation. The level of NDF showed negative and significant correlation with dry matter degradation during 3 to 12 h of incubation, however, the correlation was negative but not significant at other times of incubations. The correlation of ADF was negative and not significant with dry matter degradation except that at 12 h of incubation.9 - Protein level of feeds correlated significantly and positively with protein degradation at all times of incubation. However, correlations of protein degradation with ADF and NDF were negative and significant

Abstract: The present study was conducted on jujube trees "Ziziphus mauritiana Lamk.", cv. Tufahi (grown in a private orchard at AL - Hartha district, Basrah Governorate) and on cv. Chibchab (grown in a private orchard at Abi ELKhassib district, Basrah Governorate) during the growing season 20007 - 2008 to investigate effects of the plant growth regulator "Ethephon " at the concentrations of 0 , 100 , 300 , 500 mg/1 on the biochemical and anatomical build - up of fruits and yield quality. The results of this study were as follows : All ethephon spray treatments had significant effect on the physical and chemical characters of fruits and yield of trees. The ethephon treatment at the concentration of 500 mg/1 for both cultivars recorded the highest increases in fruit volume, length, diameter, fresh weight of fruit, pulp and seed, total soluble solids, fruit skin content of carotene pigment, nitrogen concentration, proten, respiration, ethylene production, number of cells per mm2 (for Chibchab cv. only) cell length and width, total and reducing sugars, sucrose, vit. C. and potassium concentration per fruit. Ethephon treatment at the concentration of 500 mg/1 gave also insignificant increased in fruit dry matter percentage. The control treatment (0 mg/l ethephon) for both cultivars had significantly highertotal acidity, pectins, phonolic compounds, fruit skin content of chlorophyll a(for Tufahi cv. only), b and total chlorophyll, and phosphorus concentration per fruit over the other treatments. Ethephon treatment at the concentration of 100 mg/1 ethephon gave significant increased in fruit skin content of chlorophyll a for Chibchab cv. only, and total chlorophyll, and insignificant increased in number of cells per mm2 for Tufahi cv. only. Ethephon treatment at the concentration of 300 mg/1 increased the fruit weight per tree and total yield per hectare significantly over treatments for both cultivars but the differences were not significant with ethephon treatment at 100 mg/1 in both characters for Tufahi cv. only.Periods from anthesis factor had significant effect in all characters for both cultivars. Periods 122 and 131 days from anthesis for Tufahi and Chibchab cultivars respectively recorded the highest increases in fruit volume, length, diameter, fresh weight of fruit, pulp and seed, fruit dry matter percentage(for Tufahi cv. only), total soluble solids, fruit skin content of carotene pigment, cell length and width, whereas period 40 days from anthesis increases significantly fruit moisture content(for Tufahi cv. only), dry matter(for Chibchab cv. only), total acidity, pectins, phenolic compounds, fruit skin content of chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll, nitrogen concentration, protein and cell number per mm2 over other periods. Period 67days from anthesis recorded Significant increase in moisture content per fruit for Chibchab cv. , while period 101 days from anthesis gave Significant increase in respiration rate and ethylene production for both cultivars.The The combination of ethephon treatments and periods from anthesis had significant effects in all fruit characters for both cultivars but frut moisture content and dry matter percentage were Significant in all combination treatments for Tufahi cv. only.All ethephon treatments hastened fruit ripening by means of changes in fruit color and picking date for both Tufahi and Chibchab jujube cultivars in comparison to control treatment, with the treatment at 500 mg/l ethephon recording the best results in this respect. Fruits of both ethephon treatments at 300 mg/l and 500 mg/l were picked three times in the season and fruits of ethephon treatment at 100 mg/l and control treatment were picked five times in the season.
