<div style="text-align: justify;">The present research was undertaken to determine the effect of application animal six models including or ignoring maternal genetic and/or maternal permanent environmental effects based on single and multi-trait animal model analyses and choose the most efficient method of selection to improve body weight traits in Rahmani lambs on genetic base. Current findings pointed to increase phenotypic variances of weight traits by increasing lamb&rsquo;s age. Maternal environmental effects shared approximately 13% (ranged from 11% to 20%) of the whole phenotypic variation for body weight traits in multi-trait analysis and thereafter declined significantly for all the traits especially in single- trait analysis. The results show the significance of including at least one maternal component with covariance between direct and maternal effect for genetic evaluation body weight traits and high direct heritability estimates denoted possibility to use weight traits as selection criteria due to their direct response to genetic improvement through direct selection method and their economic importance in mutton production.</div>

<div>This study was conducted to evaluate response red bean (CV. Goli) under drought stress conditions for three types of biological fertilizers in 2014 - 2015 years. A split plot experiment was conducted in Tabriz, Iran. Irrigation levels (irrigation after 70, 110, and 150 mm of evaporation from pan) were considered as main plots, and biological fertilizers Rhizobium (Rp), Mycorrhiza (My), Pseudomonas (Ps), Rp + My, Rp + Ps, Rp + My + Ps, and non-inoculation (control) were considered as sub plots. Combination of Rhizobium, Mycorrhiza, and Pseudomonas at irrigation level of more than 70 mm of evaporation had the highest grain yield, RWC, CCI, stomata conductance, leaf water potential and lowest cell leakage. Triple inoculation increased grain yield in comparison to the control, or to the time they were used individually or simultaneously; it also reduced the negative effects of drought stress on the beans.&nbsp;</div>
