Salinity is affecting plant growth and development. Low concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has shown to be effective against various stress factors. In this study, effect different H2O2 priming methods on growth, physiological biochemical parameters in three wheat varieties (NKÜ Lider, Sultan-95, Tosunbey) under salt were investigated. Salt (0 160 mM NaCl) was applied gradually 100 µM (-...

In the study, effects of selenium on intestinal tissue morphology, antioxidant-related genes, and flora grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) were studied. For this purpose, 180 healthy carps (20.0±2.0 g) randomly divided into three groups with replicates each: corresponding amount anhydrous sodium selenite was added to make experimental water solutions different concentrations, including 0 μg/L...

The aim of the present study was assessment sub-chronic effects silver (AgNPs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) 40 nm primary size either stabilised with citrate (CIT) or coated polyethylene glycol (PEG) on freshwater invertebrate Gammarus fossarum. Silver nitrate (AgNO3) used as a positive control in order to contribution ions potentially released from AgNPs observed effects. A multibiomarker ap...

Superoxide dismutase (SOD) is the first line of defense against oxidative stress induced by endogenous and/or exogenous factors and thus helps in maintaining the cellular integrity. Its activity is related to many diseases; so, it is of importance to study the structure and expression of SOD gene in an animal naturally exposed most of its life to the direct sunlight as a cause of oxidative stre...

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletion mutations are proposed contributors to aging-related muscle fiber loss and atrophy, but evidence of a causal role for these mutations in muscle aging is lacking. Elucidating the etiology of in vivo mtDNA deletion mutations will help to better understand and test the possible roles of these mutations in aging. The implication of mtDNA mutations in aging is base...

An eight-week trial was conducted to investigate the effects of sanguinarine supplementation (600 μg and 1200 μg/kg) in high-fat (crude fat: 10%) diets (HF) on intestinal physiological function Ctenopharyngodon idellus (initial weight 50.21 ± 0.68 g), based a basic diet (5% crude fat, CON), which were named HFLS HFHS, respectively. The results showed that HF significantly impaired immune physic...

Two euryhaline rotifers, the temperate species Brachionus plicatilis and tropical rotundiformis , were used to investigate effects of iron (FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O), an essential trace metal, on reproductive patterns lifetables, including metabolism lipid reactive oxygen (ROS). B. was more sensitive with regard sexual reproduction. While had no significant effect population growth at 0–48 μg/mL, it caus...
