( Bhooth - 158 , IPA - 99 , Bhooth - 22, Abu - Graib - 3 and Fateh ) for the four levels of N, P and K zero, (60 kg N + 13.8 kg P + 25 kg K hˉ1) , (120 kg N + 27.6 kg P +50 kg K hˉ1) and (180 kg N + 41.4 kg P + 75 kg K hˉ1) . The experiment included 20 treatment came from the combination between wheat cultivars and fertilizer levels . Split - plot design was used in rendomized block design with three replicates , the level of fertilizer were the main plots , where as wheat cultivars were the Sub - plots . Resulte showed the five cultivars are different in it's characteristics as the Bhooth - 158 was superior in number of days to 50% of spiking to maturation (53.75 days ) , flag leaf area ( 48.87 cm2 ), weight of 1000 seeds ( 40.32 gm ) , biological yield ( 21.39 ton .hˉ¹ ) . IPA - 99 was superior in spike length ( 12.56 cm ) , number of seeds per spike( 985.08 ) . Bhooth - 22 was superior in characteristics of seed yield ( 7.91 ton.hˉ¹ ) , harvesting index ( 41.10 % ) and protein yield ( 902.09 Kg hˉ ¹) . Abu - Graib cultivar was superior in plant height (90.62 cm ) ,number of tillers .mˉ 2 (958.10) ,number of spikes .mˉ 2(859.08) and spiking efficiency (89.75% 0 . Fateh cultivar gave the highest number of days from planting to 50% spiking ( 111.59 days) and protein content ( 12.13% ) . Results showed a variance among fertilizer level where F₃ level (180 Kg N + 41.4 Kg P + 75 Kg K hˉ ¹) caused highest number of days from planting to 50% spiking (104.07 days) , number of days from 50% to maturation ( 48.27 ) , plant height (89.98 cm ) flag leaf area (46.50 cm2 ) , spike length ( 12.36 cm ) number of seeds per spike ( 76.78 seed . spike ˉ ¹) . The F₂ level ( 120 kg N + 27.6 Kg P + 50 Kg K hˉ ¹) was superior in number of tillers (828.00 ) , seed yield ( 7.69 ton .hˉ ¹), biological yield ( 20.97 ton .hˉ ¹) , protein (11.78% ) and protein yield (0.906 ton .hˉ ¹) . The F₁ level ( 60Kg N + 13.8 Kg P + 25Kg K hˉ ¹) was superior in number of spikes per. m2 spike .m(609.80 spike .mˉ 2 ) and protein percent(11.72% ) which not significantly different from level F₂ . There were no significant effect of fertilizer levels on spiking efficiency , weight of 1000 seeds and harvesting index . There were an interaction between cultivars and fertilizer level in all characteristics except the weight of 1000 seeds . Bhooth 22 × F₂ level ( 120 kg N + 27.6 Kg P + 50 Kg K hˉ ¹) produced highest seed yields ( 8.55 ton . hˉ¹ ) and protein yield ( 1.01 ton .hˉ¹ ) which was not significantly different from the interaction between Fateh cultivar and 400 kg .hˉ¹ fertilizer which produced protein ( 0.993 ton .hˉ¹ ) . Fateh cultivar fertilized by 400 kg. hˉ¹ NPK produced highest protein percent which was 12.97 % . There was a positive correlation among seed yield and plant height , flag leaf area , number of tillers , spike length , harvesting index and protein yield . A negative correlation was found between seed yield and spiking efficiency . The best economical profit came from the use of F₂ level ( 120 kg N + 27.6 Kg P + 50 Kg K hˉ ¹) which produce ( 7.76) Iraqi dinar for each one dinar used for fertilizer used in north Basrah . The interaction between Bhooth 22 cultivar and level F₂ produce highest product ( 14.70 ) dinars to each one dinar invested in the use of NPK fertilizer that supported by government

Abstract: The current study was conducted in the laboratory of Dr. TalibAhmed Jaayide Molecular Genetics / Faculty of Agriculture /University of Basrah. After collecting blood samples from the Iraqibuffalo in the provinces of Basrah (30 samples), Dhi Qar, Maysanand Najaf (25 samples each), bringing the total samples to 105samples. The study aimed to study the genetic diversity of the Iraqibuffalo through the use of tow techniques, first technique was, thePCR - RAPD technique and the second microsatellite technique(PCR - STR). After extracting the DNA samples, seven primers ofPCR - RAPD technique were used, included C01, C04, C06, C07,C09, C11 and C12. Primers of PCR - STR technique wereILSTS005, ILSTS029 and ILSTS072. After analyzing the results ofthe three technologies it can be summarized as follows : 1 - All primers of PCR - RAPD showed genetic polymorphisms,with the presence of many bands except the primer C11which was notamplified in all samples.2 - The size of primer C07 was 1969 bp, which was the biggestprimer size, however, the smallest primer size was C01(1606 bp).3 - Number of bands showed by PCR - RAPD primers were 28,42, 56, 53, 57 and 64 bands of C01, C04, C06, C07, C09,C12 primers respectively.4 - Primer C09 revealed the highest number of polymorphicbands in Basra and Dhi - Qar provinces (47 and 46 bandsrespectively). However, the primer C12 gave highest numberof polymorphic bands in Maysan (47 bands). The primer C01showed lowest number of polymorphic bands in all studiedprovinces (14 bands in Basra and Dhi - Qar provinces, 12bands in Maysan and 13 bands in Najaf province.5 - Shared bands between Basra and Dhi - Qar, Basra andMaysan, Basra and Najaf, Dhi - Qar and Maysan, Dhi - Qar andNajaf and Maysan and Najaf were 177, 151, 162, 146 and152 bands respectively. The high number of shared bandsreflected high genetic similarly among provinces.6 - Maysan province showed highest special bands of primerC07 (8 bands) followed by Dhi - Qar province (5 bands) whichis considered as fingerprint for these provinces even they showed very low frequencies.7 - Primer C04 revealed lowest genetic diversity measured by Shannon index in all studied areas (28.82 - 35.58%), however, all other primers showed higher genetic diversity (47.57 - 55.70%).8 - Similarity among provinces was higher than 70% to 95% for all PCR - RAPD primers, which indicates that all subpopulations of buffalo belong to one breed.9 - Primers C07 and C12 highlighted highest percent of mean gene diversity to population diversity (GST) with a value of 22.69 and 21.46 respectively.10 - All STR markers (ILSTS005, ILSTS029 and ILSTS072) have been amplified in all buffalo samples of all studied areas. Observed allele numbers were 20, 22 and 21 alleles for markers respectively with a total of 63 alleles. The marker ILSTS005 gave highest number of observed alleles in Dhi - Qar (21), Najaf (20) and Maysan (17). Whereas, the marker ILSTS029 showed less number of observed alleles at Maysan province (9 alleles). 11 - Allele frequencies ranged from 0.02 to 0.32 for all markers and provinces.12 - Shared alleles between Basra andDhi - Qar, Basra and Maysan, Basra and Najaf, Dhi - Qar and Maysan, Dhi - Qar andNajaf, Maysan and Najaf were 25, 27, 30, 22, 33 and 33alleles.13 - Special allele mean frequency of studied population was 0.048. While gene flow after adjusted for sample size of each province was 2.25 alleles. Range of missing allele frequency for all studied areas was 0.000 - 0.099.14 - Range of heterozygosity percent was 80 - 100%, whereas homozygosity% was 0 - 20%.15 - All Fis values of studied markers in all provinces were significant except the marker STR072 in Dhi - Qar province which was nonsignificant. This result reflected the absence of inbreeding in all areas and there was no significant deficiency in genetic variation.16 - Linkage disequilibrium test showed that tested markers are not located on one chromosome.17 - The study thus highlights the usefulness of heterologous PCR - RAPD and microsatellite markers to assess the genetic variability in buffalo. Also various diversity indices suggest sufficient genetic variability within Iraqi buffalo that can be utilized as initial guidelines for future breeding strategies and conservation.

Abstract: This study included four experiments, two test laboratory experiments and two field experiments. The first experiment involved the use of laboratory quantities of inoculums dose and different periods of fermentation on the local wheat fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Iraqi probiotic and rumen liquor to obtain the best percentage of crude protein with less fiber content between different fermentation methods. The seconds experiment depended of the best results of the first experiment and re - fermentation process with the addition of urea by 2% to provide a source of nitrogen for use by microorganisms to protein syntheses. The first field experiment was to see the effect of substitution of fermented wheat with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Iraqi probiotic and rumen liquor partially or completely replace corn in diets on the productivity of broiler chickens. Digestion experiment was to determine the proportion of digested crude protein and crude fiber in the various diets also conducted. In this experiment 360 unsexed chicks of broiler class (Ross 308) is distributed over eight treatment by 3 replicates per treatment (15 chicks for replicate) as follows. T1 and T2 : diets control with or without antibiotic respectively; T3 and T4 : substitution partial and complete of fermented wheat with Saccharomyces cerevisiae; T5 and T6 : substitution partial and complete of wheat fermented by Iraqi probiotic; T7 and T8 : treatment replace partial and complete rumen liquor fermented wheat. As the second field experiment designed to study the replacement of wheat fermented with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Iraqi probiotic and rumen liquor with urea partially or completely replace corn in diets on the productive performance of broiler chickens as well as digest it conducted a second test after the end of the second field experiment. In this experiment, A 450 chicks were used and distributed over 10 treatments each with three replicates (15 chicks for replicate)Btreatments are : T1 and T2 partial and complete replacing of wheat without urea instead of corn, respectively (controls); T3 and T4 partial and complete replacing of wheat with urea instead of corn, respectively (controls); T5 and T6 partial and complete replacing of wheat fermented by Saccharomyces cerevisiae with urea instead of corn, respectively; T7 and T8 partial and complete replacing of wheat fermented by Iraqi probiotic with urea instead of corn, respectively; T9 and T10 partial and complete replacing of wheat fermented by rumen liquor with urea instead of corn, respectively. The current studies included the following results : The first laboratory experiment : Fermented wheat by Saccharomyces cerevisiae with the amount of inoculums get 2 gm. - 1 Kg of wheat and 14 days fermentation period the archieved highest percentage in crude protein, followed by treatment of the fermented wheat rumen liquor with the amount of inoculums dose of 4 ml.

Abstract: Polymorphism analysis of lactoferrin and prolactin genes and its relationship with milk yield and its components and birth, weaning weight and growth rate before weaning were studied. DNA was extracted from 77 blood samples of Arabi ewes (21 ewes from Animal Farm, College of Agriculture, University of Basrah and 56 ewes from Animal Farm, College of Agriculture, University of Al - Muthana). Lactoferrin genotypes were determined by using Hind III restriction enzyme, those of prolactin by Hae III enzyme at Genetic Engineering Laboratory/ College of Agriculture/ University of Basrah and College of Animal Resources/ Mullah Thani University/ Islamic Republic of Iran. Milk yield was measured once a week from 52 ewes belong to Animal Farm/ College of Agriculture/ University of Al - Muthana. Samples were chemically analyzed. Birth and weaning weight were recorded as well as growth rate before weaning during a period of 1/2/2013 to 31/12/2013. Results revealed the following : 1 - The possibility of amplifying both genes and get two alleles for each and three genotypes of the lactoferrin gene (AA and AB and BB) and two genotypes (AA and AB) of the prolactin gene.2 - Prolactin and lactoferrin A allele frequencies were 0.94 and 0.66 respectively. AA genotypes frequency was 0.88 and 0.52; AB 0.12 and 0.29 and BB 0.00 and 0.19 of prolactin and lactoferrin genes respectively. population was at equilibrium for prolactin gene, but was not in lactoferrin gene.3 - Heterozygosity levels were 11.69% and 28.57% for prolactin and lactoferrin genes respectively. inbreeding coefficients (Fis) were - 0.05 and 0.345 for both genes respectively. University of Basrah and Al - Muthana herds showed very high genetic correlation (0.999).4 - The overall means of total and daily milk yields and lactation length were 61.13±2.76 kg, 0.582±0.04 kg and 104.75±1.95 days respectively. Ewe age and lamb sex did not significantly influence the above traits. However, ewes lambed during February exceeded thoselambed in September by daily milk yield (0.661 vs 0.577 kg) and lactation period (110.00 vs 100.00 days).5 - The overall means of total fat, protein and SNF and their percentages were 2.65 Kg and 4.33%, 2.5kg and 4.11% and 11.98% respectively. Only SNF was significantly influenced by ewes age and lamb age.6 - The overall means of birth and weaning weights and pre - weaning daily growth rate were 4.48±0.39 kg, 21.21±0.89 kg and 161.71±8.47 gm./day respectively. Lambs birth weight was significantly influenced by ewes age, ewes aged 4 and 5 years got heavier lambs than those aged 1 and 3 years.7 - Lactoferrin genotypes significantly affected protein and total solids not fat, as AA genotype exceeded the other genotypes. Fat of AA, AB and BB genotypes were 2.85, 2.23 and 2.63 kg respectively. while values of SNF were 7.24, 5.78 and 7.51 respectively.8 - There was arithmetic increase (not significant) in all traits for the AB genotype over AA genotype of prolactin gene.9 - Allele B of prolactin gene positively and significantly influenced most trait. It shared about 75% of each trait variation. That of lactoferrin gene shared about 25% only.10 - Heritability of SNF% and quantity was high (0.652 and 0.666 respectively). Those of birth weight and growth rate were medium (0.309 and 0.346). All other traits had low heritability.11 - Highest value of BLUP was recorded for daily milk yield, total milk yield and adjusted milk yield for 150 days (0.032, 3.072 and 2.220 kg respectively). The lowest values were - 0.021, - 2.071 and 0.00 kg respectively. Their ranges were 0.053, 5.143 and 2.220 kg respectively.12 - The lowest value of BLUP of fat%, protein% and SNF% were - 1.724, - 2.448 and - 4.565% respectively. the highest values were 2.058, 2.466 and 3.764% respectively with a range of 3.782, 4.914 and 8.329% respectively.13 - The lowest values of BLUP of birth and weaning weight and growth rate were 3.00 kg, 19.9 kg and - 1.20 g/day, the highest were 5.5 kg, 23.45 kg and 1.03 g/day with ranges 2.5 kg, 3.86 kg and 2.23 g/day respectively.14 - Breeding values of prolactin AB genotype of all studied traits exceeded those of AA genotype. However, those of lactoferrin AB and BB genotypes exceeded those of AA genotypes.

Abstract: This study was conducted in both Poultry Farm/Animal Resources Department/ College of Agriculture / University of Basra and laboratories of Molecular Biology/ London/ United Kingdom (The Molecular Oncology Unit Laboratories of Guy's and St Thomas's Hospital/ Kings College London/ UK). Molecular analysis of the samples and the detection of a number of gene expression of several feed transporter genes in the small intestine of broiler chickens when fed diets with different levels of energy and protein. A total of 225 unsexed one day old broiler chicks (Ross breed) were randomly distributed on five experimental treatments each with three replicates of 15 chicks. Feeding was ad libitum during the whole period of experiment that lasted 35 days.The first treatment was control with 22.3 and 20 % crude protein and 2910 and 3001 kcal/kg for starter and growth period respectively. The second treatment consisted 24.1 and 22 % crude protein and 2920 and 2978 kcal/kg for starter and growth period respectively. The third treatment consisted 20 and 18 % and 2898 and 2996 kcal/ kg for starter and growth period respectively. The fourth treatment consisted 21.9 and 20 % and 3107 and 3199 kcal/ kg for starter and growth period respectively. The fifth treatment consisted 22.2 and 20 % and 2720 and 2800 kcal/ kg for starter and growth period respectively. The results revealed the followings : - The study showed the ability to amplify all genes and find their abundance according to their primers. - The highest value of APN gene abundance of female in the duodenum (1.86 ng) fed diet with 22 % cp and 3199 kcal/kg ME. - Highest abundance (6.19 ng) of Pept1 mRNA showed by males in their jejunum, when fed a diet consisted 22 % cp and 3199 kcal/kg ME. - The greatest value of b - AT and CAT2 amino acids transporter genes effect was revealed by males fed diet with 22 % cp and 3001 kcal/kg ME. - Females fed 20 % cp and 3199 kcal/kg ME diets reordered highest SGLT1 gene expression (4.70ng) within their ileum. - Males fed 20 % cp and 3199 kcal/kg ME diets reordered highest GLUT5 gene expression (6.37 ng) within their ileum. - All genes associated positively and significantly with body weight, growth rate, carcass cuts percentages (legs, breast, intestine length and weight) at the age of 35 days and negatively with feed consumption and feed conversion ratio. - Amino acid and peptides transporter genes abundance improved with an increase in diet protein, that of saccharide transporter improves with the increase of ME level in the diets. - Male gave higher mRNA copies of most genes in comparison with females, except that of SGLT1 and NPA which increased in females. - It is possible to manipulate nutrient transporter gene expression by feeding.

Abstract: This study had been carried out at Plant Protection Department and Genetic Engineering Labs of Agricultural College / Basrah University, while pots experiments were carried out at fields of Agricultural College / Basrah University. The present study included a comparison experiments of different Rhizoctonia solani isolates depending on molecular genetic techniques alongside with morphological and physiological parameters, host range and anastomosis groups identification.Thirty two different isolates of R. solani have been isolated from several host plants from several plant families throughout different geographical areas at Basra governorate. Result of pathogenicity test revealed that the majority of R. solani isolates caused a significant reduction in the germination percent of cabbage seeds, the isolates of Rs5, Rs16 and Rs19 were found to be more pathogenic and led to complete inhibition of germination, hence, the other isolates varied in their effect on seed germination percent and reported the range of 3.3 - 66.7 %, while, the isolate of BRs15 (binucleate isolate) did not show any significant effect on seeds germination compared to control (untreated) treatment (100%). According to pathogenicity test results, the most pathogenic isolates (Rs2, Rs5, R9, Rs16, Rs27 and Rs29) were selected for more followed experiments.Morphological analyses of R. solani isolates elucidated a profound difference among these isolates, the colony color was dark brown with the Rs9 isolate, light brown at the Rs16, while it was cream at the Rs2, Rs5, and Rs27, a white color with light brownish color was observed with the isolates of Rs29. The growth patterns at the medium supplemented with Potassium Chlorat showed that the isolates of Rs5, Rs9, Rs27 and Rs29 were sensitive to chlorate, while, the isolates of Rs2 and Rs16 were resistant to Chlorate. Regaling the effect of temperature on the growth of R. solani, it was found that the optimal growth temperature was at 25 °c for all examined isolates, while no growth was observed for all isolates at the temperature of 10 and 40 °c. The best pH values for growth supporting were 6 and 7 for all examined isolates.Anastomosis group analysis revealed the occurrence of anastomosis among the isolates of Rs5, Rs16, Rs27 and Rs29 with the standard isolate AG2, this confirms that these isolates belong to the group AG2, while the anastomosis between the two isolates Rs2 and Rs9 with standard isolate AG2 did not happen, therefore these isolates belong to a different group. Microscopic observation revealed theBoccurrence of more than two nuclei in each cell of examined isolates the average of nuclei number was 4 - 8 nucleus / fungal cell, while the number of binucleate isolate BRs15 exhibition two nuclei / fungal cell.The DNA extraction experiments for R. solani isolates (Rs2, Rs5, Rs9, Rs16, Rs27, Rs27, Rs30 and AG2) revealed the efficiency of CTAB procedure to get a high DNA yield and that it’s a good quality, as indicated results of measuring the concentration of DNA isolates it was good quantity amount (197.9 - 560.4 ng / μl) was obtained by following this procedure. The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) results showed that all DNA of examined R. solani isolates were amplified by employing different RAPD primers, also each genetic primer succeeded in differentiation among isolates, as showed the polymorphic bands and monomorphic bands.The results of restriction fragment length polymorphism technique (RFLP) using RS1 and RS4 primers showed that the bands size for R. solani isolates obtained between 500 - 522 bp, restriction technique results using enzymes AvaII, HincII, MseI and MunI showed that Rs2 isolate belong to the group AG1 - IB, while Rs5, Rs16, Rs27, Rs29 and the standard isolate (AG2) belong to the group AG2 - 2, while Rs9 isolate belongs to group AG11 so Rs30 isolate belongs to group AG3 - PT.Result of host range of R. solani isolates showed a significant differences in the host preference, the isolates of Rs2 was able to infect all plant hosts except okra plant, while Rs5, Rs16, Rs27 and Rs29 were able to induce the infection on marshmallow, okra, cowpea, cotton and eggplant, no infections were reported on the host of melon and wheat plants, regarding R. solani isolate Rs9 an infection was observed on marshmallow, wheat and cotton, while no infection was noticed on melon, okra, cowpea and eggplant.Results of binucleate R. solani isolates role in protection of cotton plant from the infection with R. solani, revealed their protective role, the pathogenic effect of R. solani was significantly reduced, the germination percents were increased with BRs15 treatment reached 83.3, 86.7, 93.3, 83.3 and 90% at the treatments of Rs2, Rs5, Rs9, Rs16 and Rs27 respectively, without any significant difference with control treatment (93.3%). The highest germination percent was observed at BRs15 treatment with Rs29 and reported the percent of 96.7 %. Similar results were observed with damping - off percent of cotton plant, which proved the significant efficiency of binucleate isolate in their protection against all examined R. solani pathogenic isolates.

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate and test the activity of three essential parts of wheat seed Aleurone, germ and bran which were used as secondary products from grinding grain to feed animals. diversity solvents (distilled water, chloroform, hexane, ethanol, methanol) were applied to extract the bioactive compounds by both traditional and modern extractions.The total phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, reducing power, metal chelating, and scavenging of hydrogen peroxidase were determined for all three essential parts of wheat. The stability of the extracts was studied toward temperature and pH at the interval time. In addition, the synergistic effect of the extracts was studied by mixing with different concentrations of ascorbic acid and alpha tocopherol. The extracted compounds were identified using gas chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC - Mass).The ethanol extraction of wheat germ had the highest antioxidant activity, so it was chosen to prevent oxidation in the corn oil. Moreover, the ethanol extractions for germ, bran and Aleurone were added to wheat flour (80 % extraction) in order to study their effects as improvers in the rheological properties of wheat flour dough. The results were as follows : 1 - The microwave - assisted extraction for 40 sec was able to extract the highest level of phenolic compounds from wheat germ compared toconventional extraction conditions. The total phenolic compounds were 556.6 μg gallic/ml, 426 μg gallic/ml for ethanol and methanol extractions, respectively.2 - The microwave - assisted extraction was able to give the highest antioxidant activity (53%) at concentration of 100 mg/ml from ethanolic wheat germ extraction compared to synthetic antioxidant BHT ( 92 %). In addition, the wheat germ had the highest reducing power (163.88 %) at concentration of 5 mg/ml , while the percentage of reducing power for both ethanolic extraction of Aleurone and ethanolic extraction of wheat bran were 112.63 % and 79.68 %, respectively. In contrasts, all of above extractions had lowest reducing power compared to BHT and alpha tocopherol 249.8 % and 223.5 % respectively at the same concentration. Moreover, the wheat Grem had the highest percentage for both Ferrous chelating and scavenging of hydrogen peroxidase.3 - Ethanolic extracts of Aleurone, bran and germ have a higher antioxidant activity in natural pH while decreased when treated with acid and alkaline. In addition, the ethanolic wheat germ was able to give the highest antioxidant activity at 100°C for 100 min wich read 62.2% compared to others and gave synergistic effect for bothascorbic acid and alpha tocopherol exhibited 91.90 % of antioxidant activity at concentration 60 mg/ml.4 - Identification of ethanolic and methanolic extract using GC/MS showed presence of bioactive compounds such as ascorbic acid, benzoic acid, phytosterol compounds, Isoeugenol and alkylresorcinols5 - Ethanolic extracts of germ with concentration 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 mg/g was added to corn oil in order to compared with BHT 0.05% and stored at 45°C for 28 days, the result showed that the ethanolic wheat germ at 0.25 mg/g had the ability to decrease the hydrogen peroxide for the corn oil 6.8 meq/kg at end of stored time compared BHT (0.05 %) 4.3 meq/kg at the same conditions.6 - The ethanolic Aleurone extraction possessed a positive effect on the rheological properties when it was added as improvers to the wheat flour ( 80 % extraction). The dough consistency was 6.7 min, which considered highest reading among all treatments. In addition, the recorded elastic index was 3.2, 2, and 1.8 at interval times 45, 90, 135 min, respectively.

Abstract: The current study was carried out during the period from December 2015 and June 2016 to assess the chemical composition, fatty and amino acids and the total bacterial count of the muscular tissue from the common carp Cyprinus carpio L. in Basrah city which were cached from Shatt Al - Arab river at Abul - Khasib, obtained from earthen ponds at the University of Basrah, fish cages in Shatt Al - Arab river at Al - Hartha district and those imported from Iran Republic which were available in the domestic markets of Basrah city.The results of the study were statistically analyzed using CRD design applying SPSS statistical package ver. 17 on 50 fish from each source with 3 replicates per sample and the studied factors were tested using RLSD test at 0.05 probability level.The results of the statistical analysis indicated no significant differences (p>0.05) in moisture content between Shatt Al - Arab samples, imported samples, iced pond fish and iced cage fish. No significant differences (p>0.05) were detected also between fish from ponds and cages. Significant differences (p<0.05) were detected between fresh fish from ponds and cages with fresh and iced fish from Shatt Al - Arab or imported fish. The highest moisture content of fresh fish was 78.2% in Shatt Al - Arab samples while the lowest 70.8% was in fresh cage fish. The highest moisture content in iced fish 79.4% was in imported samples while the lowest 74.1% was in cage fish. As for ash content, the statistical analysis revealed significant differences (p<0.05) between imported fish and other fish samples. Significant differences (p<0.05) were observed also between fresh pond fish and other samples.However, no more significant differences (p>0.05) were detected between other fish samples. The highest ash content in fresh fish 2.29% was in pond fish and the lowest 0.98% in imported fish. Similarly, the highest ash content in iced samples 1.45% was in pond fish and the lowest 0.87% in imported samples. The statistical analysis of fat contents demonstrated significant differences (p<0.05) between Shatt Al - Arab fresh and iced samples and other samples. Fat content in pond fish was in line with those in iced cage and iced imported fish but significantly (p<0.05) differ from those in fresh pond and imported fish while no such differences were shown between pond and imported fish. The highest fat content in fresh fish 11.9% was in imported fish and the lowest 3.43% in Shatt Al - Arab fish. Similarly, the highest fat content of iced fish 9.99% was in imported fish and the lowest 3.17% in Shatt Al - Arab fish. The statistical analysis showed that protein contents in fresh fish from Shatt Al - Arab, ponds and cages were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those in imported fish while protein contents in fresh and iced imported fish were significantly (p<0.05) lower than it in other fish. The highest protein content in fresh fish 18.71% was in pond fish and the lowest 10.05% in imported fish. Similarly, the highest protein content in iced fish 16.96% was in pond fish and the lowest 9.98% in imported fish. The statistical analysis showed that the caloric values of fresh and iced fish from Shatt Al - Arab were significantly (p<0.05) lower than other fish except for iced pond and imported fish. Additionally, no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed in caloric values between pond, iced cage and imported fish while pond and Shatt Al - Arab fishes only showed significant differences (p<0.05) in comparison with other samples. The highest caloric value for fresh fish 165.62 Kcal/100 g in cage fish and the lowest 98.5 Kcal/100 g in Shatt Al - Arab fish. On the other hand, the highest caloric value for iced fish 148.4 Kcal/100 g was in cage fish and the lowest 93.9 Kcal/100 g in Shatt Al - Arab fish.The fatty acids was assessed in the laboratories of The College of Agriculture, University of Basrah by using GC - MS QP210 Ultra , SHIMADZU, JAPAN equipped with capillary column DB - MS 5 with static phase (5% phenyl, 95% methyl polysiloxane) and ultra - high purity Helium 99.9%. The fatty acid analysis for the muscular tissue of fish indicated high levels of oleic ،palmitic ،stearic ،stearic ،docosahexaenoic acid in comparison with lower levels of myristoleic ،eicosadienoic ،dihomo - gamma - linolenic and pentadecyclic acids. The statistical analysis revealed no significant differences between both fresh and iced samples from the different fish sources. However, significant differences (p<0.05) were detected between imported fish and fresh and iced fish from ponds and cages. Additionally, no significant differences (p>0.05) were observed between fresh and iced imported samples with both fresh and iced pond fish while fresh and iced cage fish differed significantly (p<0.05) from fresh pond samples.Amino acids were assessed by using HPLC system with ion exchange and Ninhydrin post column derivation in Shimadzu Spd - 6 Av uv - Visible detector. The analysis of amino acids in fish muscular tissue demonstrated high levels of Aspartic ،Serine ،Glutamic،Alanine and Glycine and low levels of Cystine ،Tryptophan ،Isoleucine ،Methionine،Histidine ،Threonine and Tyrosine. The statistical analysis showed no significant differences between fresh and iced Shatt Al - Arab samples with fresh and iced imported fish. No significant differences (p>0.05) were observed also between fresh and iced pond fish with fresh and iced cage fish. On the other hand, significant differences (p<0.05) were found between fresh and iced Shatt Al - Arab fish with fresh and iced imported samples. Additionally, another significant differences were detected between fresh and iced pond fish with fresh and cage fish.As for the total bacterial count, the statistical analysis revealed significant differences (p<0.05) between all fresh and iced fish samples. The highest level in fresh fish 7.6 x 103 cfu/g was observed in Shatt Al - Arab fish while the lowest level 2.0 x 103 cfu/g in imported fish. In comparison, the highest level in iced fish 7.44 x 107 cfu/g was also in Shatt Al - Arab fish but the lowest level 5.72 x 107 cfu/g in cage fish.

Abstract: The study was conducted in an agricultural field which located at Abu - AlKhaseeb distruct /20 Km south of Basra City , during the season of growth (2013 and 2014) on a land area about one hectare, a clay soil texture and classified as Typic torrifluvents. In order to study the effect of method and interval irrigation and mulching soil surface in some physical and chemical properties of the soil and production of date palm Phoenix dactylifera L. Hillawi c.v. The irrigation method factor included four treatments; drip irrigation method (D) and surface irrigation (S) and rotation method (DS) (rotation drip irrigation with surface irrigation in binary cycle) and tide irrigation method (T), while the mulching factor included three treatments : nylon (N) and coverage waste (W) and no mulching (no). Irrigation interval factor included three treatments are (4 ,8, 12) day. Experiment carried out in factorial Experiment with random complete block design (RCBD) with three replications, the addition of irrigation water calculated from the basin American evaporation (Evap.Pan Class - A - ), which was erected in the study site, plus 20% as leaching requirements.Below is a summary of the study results : 1 - The addition of irrigation water by the irrigation methods (D, DS, S) increase the moisture content significantly for different depths of soil compared with traditional irrigation treatment (tidal). Surface irrigation treatment shows higher values in the moisture content, followed by treatment of irrigation alternately then treated drip irrigation, irrigation with treated showed tidal lowest values. The irrigation methods (drip, drip - surface, surface) increased in moisture content values with lack of a period irrigation, especially when the interval 4 day. Moisture content of the irrigation methods treatments increased significantly values morally using coverage, particularly nylon except irrigation treatment tidal which were not increase significantly. The moisture content values increase significantly with depth for all experimental treatments, and she took to decline at the end of the first season and the second compared to the first season.2 - The treatment of traditional irrigation (tidal) showed the lowest values in the bulk density, followed by treatment of drip irrigation and treatment of rotation and then surface irrigation treatment for all depths .The results showed increased bulk density values of all treatments with depth ,also that the use of the nearby interval and coverage nylon contributed to maintaining the values of bulk density and showed superior in giving the lowest value for the density. Increased bulk density values with the progress of seasonal growth of all treatments and three depths of soil.3 - The use of irrigation methods (drip, drip - surface, surface) to a significant decrease in the values of Mean Weighted Diameter (MWD) compared with the traditional method of irrigation (tidal) and the order of the effect for the irrigation methods is S <DS <D <T. The results showed that values increase with the progress of the growing season, except for the treatment of traditional irrigation (T) with superiority of depth (0 - 30) cm on other depths.4 - The cumulative infiltration and infiltration rate Increased in the soil with the traditional irrigation treatment compared to using other methods of irrigation and the methods irrigation taken following order in the cumulative infiltration and infiltration rateS <DS <D <T. The results showed that the cumulative infiltration and infiltration rate values increased with using mulching especially with nylon and follow short - rang irrigation interval .5 - The use of irrigation methods (drip, drip - surface, surface) decreased the electrical conductivity values on different depths of soil compared with traditional irrigation treatment (tidal), which maintained a significant increase in the electrical conductivity values, especially in (0 - 30 ,30 - 60 ,) cm depth, followed by treatment of drip irrigation and surface irrigation, The rotation treatment DS showed high efficiency in salts washing rate in all depths and recorded the lowest values in the electrical conductivity .The results showed that the using of mulching, especially nylon contributed significantly in reducing the electrical conductivity values, and that the exposed treatment showed higher values, as the results showed that the using of long interval increase in the electrical conductivity values .Other than increase the electrical conductivity values of the surface depth of all treatments and it decreased significantly at both ends of the first and second seasons, compared with the beginning of the experiment except for the treatment of tidal which remained conservative values until the end of the experiment .6 - The use of irrigation methods (drip, rotation, surface) contributed to the significant increase of the values of productivity (weight, size, length, total sugars, dry weight and total yield) of Date Palm compared with the use of traditional irrigation method (tidal ) .The irrigation methods takes the following order in productivity : T <S <D <DS. The results showed that a significant increase in productivity with use short interval and the use of nylon mulching style. The results showed that increase in productivity in the second season compared to the first season.

Abstract: The aimed of the present study to find out the nature of the qualitative compositionand some biological aspects in the North part of Shatt Al - Arab River and some of its reaches after emergence of many changes in the region and habitats segmenting by Dam construction on Euphrates River in the area between Chibyish and Mudina town and establishment of Qlat - Salih Regulator, reduction of water discharge to minimum limits, entry of alien species on an ongoing basis, so it is necessary to conduct a study to find out the nature of the diversity of fish in the region, and it has shown that the composition of community differs from previous studies revealed that introduced alien small size species and some of uneconomic species were dominate. The samples were caught monthly from the river from December 2013 to May 2015 North of Basrah Province. Several fishing tools were used to collect fishes seine, fixed, draft, cast net and electrofishing. Three stations were selected; the station 1 was in the North of Qurna town about five kilometers North the point which the Tigris and Euphrates River confluence, station 2 at the place of Seweeb River is meeting the Shatt Al - Arab Rive and station 3 at the point that Al - Shafii River which meet Shatt Al - Arab river. Some environmental parameters were measured, namely air temperature ranged from 15ºC in December 2014 in station 3 to 43ºC in the August 2014 at station 2 and 3, while the water temperature from 11ºC in January 2015 for station 1 to 36 ºC in July at station 2. Light penetration revealed 33 cm in April and May 2014 and 132 cm in January 2015 for station 3. Current speed ranged between 0.03 m/s in January 2015 in station 3 and 0.29 m/s in October 2014 for station 1.

The pH values tend toward the alkaline, the lowest 7.30 in May 2014 for station 2 and 8.90 measured in February 2014 in station 1. Monthly discharges, average incoming from the Tigris River recorded 35.20 ± 8.47 m3/s in November 2014 to 73.85 ± 17.55 m3/s on February 2014. Lower values of reactive nitrate were recorded 0.69 μ g at. N/L in March 2015 at station 3 and highest 24.32 μ g at. N/L in May for station 2, however the values of reactive phosphate recorded, the lowest 0.0037 μ g at. N/L in March 2015 at station 2, the highest was 0.589 μ g at. N/L in November 2014 for station 1. A total of 29405 individuals was collected during the study period represented 916521g included 33 species eight of them were marine species contain 29 genera belong to 14 families of Osteichthyes, Cyprinids family occupied first degree in the number of species (13) and genera (12), the numerical relative abundance of marine species in the study area was 3.38% and the relative abundance gravimetric was 8.45%. A significant positive correlation was found between number of species and water temperature (r=0. 506). Liza abu, Carassius auratus and Coptodon zillii were the most total numerical relative abundance 30.89, 29.30 and 15.64 % respectively, C. auratus, S. triostegus and C. zillii were the most total weight relative abundance and composing 27.58, 14.27 and 11.64% respectively in the study area. Discharges rates flowing from the Tigris River revealed negative effect with the number of species and the insignificant negative correlation was recorded (r= - 0.109) with discharge monthly rates, and fluctuation relationship was noticed between discharges and ecological indices. However, native species included 15 seasonal species 4 and 14 for rare species. Diversity index (H) ranged between 0.91 in January 2015 at station 3 to 2.05 in March 2015 for station 2, richness index (D) 0.83 in February 2014 at station 3 and 2.79 in March 2015 at station 1, evenness index (J) recorded 0.38 in January 2015 and the highest 0.78 in September 2014 for station 1. The percentage of similarity among stations by Jaccard similarity index (Ss%) showed variation uneven during study months. Cluster analysis of species similarity pointed to clumping in groups controlled by temperature. The Multivariate analysis was (CCA) adopted to clarify the impact of a biotic factors on the distribution of species. Total catches were ranged between 16380 g in December 2013 to 80309g in December 2014. The total average catch per unit of effort was 24.953 kg/hr for seine nets ranged from 0.928 kg/hr in December 2014 at station 2 to 30.271 Kg/hr during January 2015 for station 3. The number of fishing boats in the study area 143 their length between 5 - 7m most of them without an engine. The impact of alien species direct effects during the destruction of nests and reproductive ground, especially eggs which lie on a plant for native species and hybridization between alien and native species, and indirect effects of competition on food, ecological space, environment destruction and aggressive behavior. The length groups of all fish species were recorded, the lowest values were for Alburnus mossulensis, Acanthobrama marmid, Hemiculter leucisculus and Garra rufa, they were 7.3 - 18, 6.3 - 17, 7 - 17 and 7.2 - 17.8 cm respectively, whereas the highest were for Silurus triostegus, Leuciscus vorax and Mastacembelus mastacembelus, they were 10.8 - 72.4, 9.5 - 57.3 and 14 - 55 cm respectively.

Yields parameters Results in the first season showed that "Draga" cultivar gave significant increases in tuber number.plant - 1,total plant yield, marketable yield,total yield, small and large tubers yield (6.10 tuber,379.9g,3.36 ton.donum - 1, 3.71 ton.donum - 1,0.35ton.donum - 1 and2.52 ton.donum - 1,respectively), While "Rivira cultivar in the second season gave significantincreases in tuber weigh,total plant yield,marketable yield,total yieldand large tubers yield(88.38 g, 492.6g,4.50 ton.donum - 1,4.82 ton.donum - 1, 3.87 ton.donum - 1,respectively).Sprying with 200 mg.l - 1 tryptophan in the two seasons gavesignificant increases in tuber weigh (69.08, 74.95 g), total plant yield (389.1 , 438.4 g), marketable yield (3.54, 3.87ton.donum - 1),total yield (3.80, 4.28 ton.donum - 1) and large tubers yield(2.44, 3.08 ton. donum - 1) respectively, While the 100 mg.l - 1 tryptophan increases in tuber number.plant - 1 in the first season(5.76 tuber) and 200 mg.l - 1 tryptophan increases in the first seasonin yield medium tubers (1.10 ton.donum - 1)and in the second season increases in tuber number.plant - 1(5.90 tuber).Application with1g.l - 1 biohealthin the first season gave significant increases in tuber number.plant - 1,total plant yield,marketable yield,total yield,medium and large tubers yield(5.72 tuber, 366.6 g, 3.28 ton.donum - 1,3.59 ton.donum - 1,1.03 ton.donum - 1and 2.26 ton. donum - 1,respectively), while in the second season application with 2 g.l - 1 biohealthgave significant increases in tuber number.plantC 1,total plant yield,marketable yield,total yield,and large tubers yield(5.85 tuber, 423.4 g), 3.75ton.donum - 1 ,4.15 ton.donum - 1 and 3.00 ton.donum - 1,respectively). The interactions between the studied factors caused significant increased in allyields parameters on both seasons.4. Chemical characteristics 4 - 1. Leaves chemical characteristics Spraying with 100 and 200 mg.l - 1 tryptophan in Carbohydrate contents. In the second season200 mg.l - 1glycinegave significant increases in carbohydrate contents.Application with 1 g.l - 1biohealthin second season gave a significant increase incarbohydrate contents.The interactions between the studied factors caused significant increased effects in all leaves chemicalparameters on both seasons.4 - 2. Tubers chemical characteristics Results showed that "Brovento" cultivar in the first season gave significant increases in the percentage of dry matter, starch and specific gravity, "Draga" increases in thepercentage of protein, vitamin C and total solubilesoilds, "Arnova" increases intotal free amino acids. In the second season "Rivira" cultivar gave significant increases inthe percentage of dry matter, starch, specific gravity and total free amino acids and"Arezon" increases in thepercentage of vitamin C and total solubilesoilds.Foliar application with tryptophan at 200 mg.l - 1 in the first season caused an increase in the percentage of dry matter, starch,specific gravity and protein, while 200 mg.l - 1 glycine increases in vitamin C and total solubilesoilds, glycine at100 mg.l - 1increases in total free amino acids.Foliar application with tryptophan and glycine at 200 mg.l - 1in second season caused an increase in the percentage of dry matter, starch andspecific gravity, while 200 mg.l - 1 glycine caused increases in the percentage of protein and total free amino acids, glycine at100 mg.l - 1 increasesin vitamin C and tryptophan at 200 mg.l - 1 in total solubilesoilds.Application with biohealth gave asignificant increase in mosttubers chemical characteristics for both season.The interactions between the studied factors caused significant increased effects in all tuber chemicalparameters on both seasons.
