In a preceding paper (1956) the writers reported that pigmentation occurs in varyinig degree among strains of most species of the proposed but as yet undescribed new genus, Dekkeromyces. Hybrids may yield more pigment than either parent, thereby permitting easy selection of hybrids from a population consisting of both hybrids and parent species. This method of isolating hybrids requires one or ...

incontinentia pigmenti (ip) is an x-linked dominant genodermatosis characterized by typical skin lesions along blaschko's lines and associated with ocular, dental, nails, hair, skeletal, central nervous system and cardiovascular anomalies. we report a 5-year-old boy with cutaneous hyperpigmentation along blaschko's lines, atrophic streaks, strabismus and mental retardation. he showed the charac...

Background: Many of the most common cancers, such as prostate and breast cancer are due to the presence of harmful agents and compounds in processed foods, including nitrite. In this research the physicochemical, antioxidant, and color properties of sodium nitrite-free sausages containing different concentrations of cochineal pigment alone or in combination with cumin essential oil were studied...

The inkjet printing machine was initially used on ceramic parts as a small device in designing and advertising offices limitedly. In recent years, this device has been applied professionally to create high-quality patterns in the industry. In this method, liquid ceramic ink is sprayed on the specified parts by piezoelectric nozzles and after drying and discharging, the organic matter is baked a...

Although, that the solar energy is important for life continuity, there is need to protect large buildings from these radiations in summer and if the buildings are permitted to take these radiations, the cost of cooling will be too much. One of the most effective methods used to solve this problem is to coat buildings with specific pigments that reflect the solar infrared radiation. This wo...

photooxidation as an important process, which significantly affects the service life of the polypropylene products, has been the subject of much theoretical and experimental study. pigments used often change the light stabilities of polypropylene. out-door applications of pigmented polypr-opylene are now increasingly developed in products such as artificial grass. the aim of this work is to exa...

This investigation was undertaken to ascertain the effect of simulated acid rain (SAR) on growth, yield and physiological parameters of tomato. SAR exposure (pH 3.0 and 4.0) caused white-to-tan spots on the abaxial and adaxial surface of tomato leaves. SAR exposure at pH 3.0 and 4.0 significantly suppressed pigment synthesis, shoot and root dry weights and yield of tomato. The effects were more...

The effects of increased photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), UV radiation (UVR), and nutrient supply on photosynthetic activity, pigment content, C:N ratio and biomass yield were studied in tank cultivated Gracilaria conferta (Rhodophyta). Electron transport rate (ETR) and biliprotein content were higher under high nutrient supply (HNS), obtained from fishpond effluents, compared to low nutr...

background & aim: the pigments inside the leaf chloroplasts receive sunlight energy and transport it to photosynthesis reaction center. the most important of these pigments is chlorophyll. in this study, the pigments existence in medicinal plant, sumac (rhus coriaria l.), was investigated at biotechnology laboratory, isfahan university of technology. experimental: experiments were performed...

Radix Isatidis (Isatis indigotica Fort.) is one of the most important traditional Chinese medicine plants. However, there is no suitable herbicide used for weed control in Radix Isatidis field during postemergence stage. To explore the safety of sulfonylurea herbicide nicosulfuron on Radix Isatidis (Isatis indigotica Fort.) seedlings and the photosynthetic physiological response of the plant to...
