the production of reactive oxygen species (ros) in plants under low temperature stress cause damage to plants. in order to evaluate of antioxidant responses of page mandarin young trees (two years old) on different rootstocks under low temperatures, an experiment was conducted in a factorial plan based on completely randomized design. treatment of temperatures were at seven levels include 9, 6,...

This study was conducted on two canola (Brassica napus) cultivars, Okapi a winter type and cold tolerant and Rgs003 a spring type and cold sensitive. Seedlings were grown in an environmentally controlled growth room with 16 h d-1 photoperiod at 22/16 °C (day/night, control). At the 4-leaf stage, half of pots were transferred to a cold growth room for 7 d at 10/3°C (day/night, cold treatment) an...

objective(s): this study was designed to indicate whether different fractions from artemisia biennis hydroethanolic extract could provide cytoprotection against oxidative stress and apoptosis induced by doxorubicin (dox) in rat pheochromocytoma cell line (pc12). material and methods:cell viability was determined by mtt assay. also, activation of caspase-3 and superoxide dismutase were evaluated...

to estimate plant resistance to cadmium chloride (cdcl2) stress for phytoremediation purposes, the effect of cadmium (cd) phytotoxicity was assessed on total soluble protein, chlorophyll (chl) content and antioxidant enzymes in the leaves of three different brassica napus (b. napus) cultivars; mohican, reg.cob and okapi. plants were exposed to three levels of cdcl2 (0.75, 1.5 and 2.25 mm) in ir...

the aim of the present study was to determine the relationship between histopathological lesions and tissue enzymes in chickens affected by marek's disease.five apparently healthy chickens(as control group)and 25 chickens affected by marek's disease were selected. after consideration of history and gross lesions, tissue samples were collected from kidney, liver, heart, ovary, pectoral...
