antimicrobial screening of fennel at the seedling stage

چکیده

a wide range of medicinal plant parts that possess varied medicinal properties are used for extracts as raw drugs. in this study, the ethanolic extract obtained from aerial parts of fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill.) seedlings was evaluated in vitro to examine their antimicrobial activity against four gram-negative and three gram-positive bacteria and two fungi. aerial parts of one-month-old seedlings were air dried and powdered. each powdered sample (20 g) was extracted with 200 ml ethanol (96%) using a shaking water bath for 24 h at room temperature. the solvent was removed under vacuum at 40°c using a rotary vacuum evaporator. the antimicrobial effect of the aerial part of fennel seedlings was tested by the disc diffusion method. the experiment was a randomized complete block with three replicates for each sample. fennel seedling extract had no inhibitory effect against gram-positive bacteria and fungi, but had a weak effect against gram-negative bacteria.

Genetic Structure of Salinity Tolerance in Rice at Seedling Stage

The Oryza sativa L. F8 population derived from a cross between salt tolerance cv. Ahlemi Tarom and salt sensitive cv. Neda was used in the study. Germinated seeds floated on water for 3 d, and after were transferred to float on Yoshida's nutrient solution for 11 d. two weeks after sowing, the seedling was transferred to nutrient solution containing 51.19 mM NaCl (electrical conductivity 6 dSm-1...

Physiological responses of fennel seedling to four environmental stresses

Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is widely cultivated for its edible, strongly-flavored leaves, fruits, seeds and medicinal uses. As the wild and cultivated plants are influenced by environmental stresses, the effects of salt (25, 50 and 75 mM NaCl), nitrogen and iron deficiency (0 N, 0.5 N of Hoagland’s solution, 0 Fe and 0.5 Fe of Hoagland’s solution), 2°C cold (2, 3 and 4 h) and drought (3,...

Inheritance of rice cold tolerance at the seedling stage

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) cold tolerance at the initial stages of development is a highly desirable trait to be incorporated into the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, cultivars, but selection for this trait must be performed under controlled temperature conditions, which limits the number of lines that can be evaluated. Knowledge of the inheritance of this trait is important to define breeding ...

Screening for Salt Tolerance in Maize (zea Mays L.) Hybrids at an Early Seedling Stage

An efficient and simple mass screening technique for selection of maize hybrids for salt tolerance has been developed. Genetic variation for salt tolerance was assessed in hybrid maize (Zea mays L.) using solution-culture technique. The study was conducted in solution culture exposed to four salinity levels (control, 40, 80 and 120 mM NaCl). Seven days old maize seedlings were transplanted in t...
