Wheat growth, development and yield are severely affected by a wide range of abiotic stresses, salt stress is vital increasing stress. Salicylic acid (SA) phenolic phytohormone involved in plant physiological processes. Hence, we have conducted an experiment to explore the roles exogenous SA mitigating two wheat genotypes. There were eight treatments comprising (i) control, (ii) 0.5 mM SA, (iii...

Fertilization of agricultural plants with ammonium [Formula: see text] is often desirable because it is less susceptible to leaching than nitrate [Formula: see text] reducing environmental pollution, risk to human health and economic loss. However, a number of important agricultural species exhibit a reduction in growth when fertilized with [Formula: see text] and increasing the tolerance to [F...

Lippia citriodora H.B.K. is a valuable medicinal plant of Verbenaceae family. This study was calculated to evaluate potential role of salicylic acid (SA) in diminish the harmful effects of drought stress on L. citriodora plants. SA (0.5 and 1 mM) was used to L. citriodora plants grown under stressed (5, 10, 15 and 20% PEG) and unstressed conditions. Fresh weight (FW) and relative water content ...

The effects of salicylic acid (SA) on growth and metabolism of Brassica oleracea var. Capitata under salt stress was studied in a hydroponic culture. NaCl at 50 mM concentration and SA at 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5mM concentrations were used as treatments.  The results showed that salt exhibited inhibitory effects on shoot and root length, fresh and dry weight, and RWC of the seedlings. NaCl at 50 mM co...

Background: Apart from genetic and environmental factors, activation of autoreactive mechanisms has been proposed to play a role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. In re-cent years, considerable work has been carried out to understand the role and contribution of the immune system in this disease. Objective: To investigate the T cell response to phytohaemagglutinin (PHA) and determine the se...

Objective: To study the blood pressure, lipid and glycemic effects and safety of Vaccinium arctostaphylos leaf in the hypertensive hyperlipidemic type 2 diabetic patients. Materials and Methods: The patients took 350 mg standardized plant leaf hydro-alcoholic extract capsule (n=50) or placebo capsule (n=50) three times daily alongside conventional drugs for 2 months. At the baseline and endpoin...

Introduction: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of pectin supplementation and 14 weeks of endurance training on the serum atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels and lipid profile of obese pregnant mice. Methods: This experimental study was conducted on 40 female laboratory mice (mean weight: 30+5 g...

OBJECTIVES The aim of study was to compare the accuracy between rectal water contrast transvaginal ultrasound (RWC-TVS) and double-contrast barium enema (DCBE) in evaluating the bowel endometriosis presence as well as its extent. DESIGN AND SETTING 198 patients at reproductive age with suspicious bowel endometriosis were included. Physicians in two groups specialised at endometriosis performe...

Tunisia is known to be a country with poor water resources, and scarcity evident in certain regions. In the long term, this situation could worsen, given increased risk of drought. The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) one plants best adapted climate, numerous studies have been carried out assess effects stress. aim work was study compare ecophysiological behavior main Tunisian cultivar (Chetoui) f...

Background: A home exercise program is an important part of recovery from musculoskeletal injuries and can improve pain, quality life, self-efficacy. However, there are often challenges with patient adherence measuring compliance. Mood pain have a positive negative affect on patient’s performance. Digital health, such as Recupe, provides opportunity to examine the relationship between mood, out...
