Organic Farming by Using Different Desert Soiles Could it be an Alternative to Fertilizers?
Authors
Abstract:
It is shown that Saharan soil has the potential of producing bioavailable iron when illuminated with visible light and also it contains some essential macronutrient and micronutrient elements. In this study, these properties of the desert soil were tested on the certified wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L. var. gonen 98) using Hewitt nutrient solution, illuminated and non-illuminated soil solutions from Sahran desert and Ankara city and Zabol. Deionized water was used as a control solution. Wheat cultivar, displayed comparable results when grown in illuminated Saharan dust solutions and Hewitt solution. Results showed that dust from Saharan desert could act as a source of natural fertilizer under specific conditions and could be utilized in “true” organic farming.

Our purpose was to develop a new pharmacological approach for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa), the most common neoplasia in men. Recently, we developed siRNA against the fusion oncogene TMPRSS2-ERG found in 50% of patients and showed an antitumoral activity in animal model. Herein, we want to compare or combine the developed siRNA to flutamide (FLU), one of the gold-standard treatment of...
