Whole-plant carbohydrate partitioning involves the assimilation of carbon in leaves and its translocation to nonphotosynthetic tissues. This process is fundamental to plant growth and development, but its regulation is poorly understood. To identify genes controlling carbohydrate partitioning, we isolated mutants that are defective in exporting fixed carbon from leaves. Here we describe psyched...

The effect of three salicylic acid (0, 50 and 100 mg l-1) and K2SO4 (0, 0.1 and 0.2 %) levels on some characteristics nut and physiological parameters of pistachio trees cv. ‘Owhadi’ were investigated. Treatments were applied at endospermic growth stage of seed and cotyledons appearance. The results showed that potassium increase yield, splitting percentage; nut fresh mass and kernel dry mass a...

development of effective strategies for management of brown rot disease to obtain an accurate knowledge of the response of different cultivars to the pathogense takes. for study the percentage of the natural blooming in the garden and the change of total phenol amount in laboratories in different cultivars of stone fruit in response to the monilia laxa (honey) fungal pathogen, study was carried...

Leaves of many evergreen angiosperm species turn red under high light during winter due to the production of anthocyanin pigments, while leaves of other species remain green. There is currently no explanation for why some evergreen species exhibit winter reddening while others do not. Conditions associated with low leaf water potentials (Psi) have been shown to induce reddening in many plant sp...

Background: Presently, the use of herbal medicines is expanding rapidly across the world. While considering source materials, authentication and standardization are prerequisites for herbal formulation in any system of medicine. The plant Clerodendrum wallichii Merr. (Family: Lamiaceae) has been used for various ailments in traditional systems of medicines, particularly in the treatment of diar...

Background: Compounds present in both green and black teas have been shown to inhibit the growth and activity of bacteria associated with mouth infections. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of green tea leaves extract on the aerobic mouth bacterial load. Methods: A total of 25 volunteer female students, aged 20-25 years, were selected and then evaluated by green tea extract and ...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of different dietary levels of walnut leaves powder and vitamin e supplementation on blood antioxidant status, production performance and egg quality characteristics in commercial laying hens. a total number of 216 leghorn hy-line w-36 (70 week old) strain laying hens used the completely randomized design were divided into 6 groups with 3 replic...
