[ 1 ] - Application of ZnO Nanoparticles for Inducing Callus in Tissue Culture of Rapeseed
Present study has comparatively investigated the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), ZnO bulk particles (BPs), and relevant metal ions (Zn2+) on the tissue culture of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) to properly evaluate the impact of ZnO NPs on callus induction. For finding the best hormonal combination for inducing callus, hypocotyl explants were cultured on Murashige ...
[ 2 ] - Morphological and physiological responses of two common bean cultivars to drought stress
Drought stress is the major problem in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Investigating the response of different cultivars of crop plants to drought stress can help to select the tolerant ones for agriculture in arid lands. In this study, a greenhouse experiment was conducted as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with two common bean cultivars (Phaseolus vulgari...
[ 3 ] - برهم‌کنش آب‌شور و ورمیکمپوست بر رشد و میزان جذب برخی عناصر معدنی در چهار جمعیت رازیانه Foeniculum vulgare
بهمنظور بررسی اثر متقابل تنش شوری القا شده با کلرید سدیم و کود آلی ورمیکمپوست بر رشد رویشی و میزان برخی از عناصر غذایی در رازیانه(Foeniculum vulgare Mill)، آزمایشی به صورت فاکتوریل و در قالب طرح بلوکهای کاملاً تصادفی با سه تکرار در گلخانه تحقیقاتی دانشگاه یزد انجام شد. تیماره...
[ 4 ] - Irrigation of Helianthus annuus with Pb-polluted water: improvement of phytoremediation using vermicompost
For investigating the effect of vermicompost (VC) on improving phytoremediation of Pb by sunflower (Helianthus annuus) cultivar Lakumka, a factorial experiment was conducted in the pots containing soil or its mixture with 10% VC, in a greenhouse with controlled condition at 2018. After 3 weeks irrigation with normal water, plants were daily irrigated with high Pb-polluted water (0, 1000, 1500 o...
[ 5 ] - The investigating of sodium accumulation in some halophytic species of Zygophyllaceae, Polygonaceae, Asteraceae and Amaranthaceae
The identification of the characteristics of native halophytic species is very important for their practical application. The present study was carried out to identify the halophytic species of a desert and highly saline region around the city of Khosf, southern Khorasan Province, and to detect their general tolerance mechanisms (i.e. salt exclusion or inclusion). Sodium accumulation in the roo...
[ 6 ] - Anti-cancer effects and molecular mechanisms of sour tea (Hibiscus sabdariffa) in the human cellular model (A549) of lung cancer
Background and Aims: Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies worldwide that despite the recent progress, its existing treatments have not sufficient efficiency, and scientists are always trying to find complementary therapies. Medicinal plants, such as sour tea, have attracted lots of attention due to their abundant antioxidant compounds. In the present study, in addition to assessin...
[ 7 ] - Allelopathic effects of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) root on some crops and weeds
Allelopathic effect of apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) root on some crops and weeds was investigated in two independent experiments. First, the effect of concentrations aqueous extract of apricot root (AAR) was assayed on the seed germination of Cicer arietinum L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., Triticum aestivum L., Zea mays L., Amaranthus retroflexus L., Secale cereal L., and Avena ludoviciana Durieu. ...
