Detailed performance specifications are given for a specific and sensitive liquid-chromatographic assay for aspirin, salicylic acid, and salicyluric acid in plasma. The sensitivity of this method for aspirin (50 micrograms/L) is 10-fold that of previous methods, so that concentrations of aspirin in plasma can now be followed for about four or five half-lives after the peak plasma concentration ...

Since there is limited information on the simultaneous effect of drought stress and salicylic acid on yield and mucilagecontent of the medicinal herb, Plantago ovata Forssk is available, a pot experiment was conducted in factorial form basedon a randomized complete block design with three replications in Jiroft, Kerman Province, south of Iran. As the firstfactor, drought stress included four le...

The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii produces the plant hormone abscisic acid, but it is unclear if phytohormones are produced by the malaria parasite Plasmodium spp., the most important parasite of this phylum. Here, we report detection of salicylic acid, an immune-related phytohormone of land plants, in P. berghei ANKA and T. gondii cell lysates. However, addition of salicylic acid to ...

to study the interaction effect of the salinity and salicylic acid on some morphological and physiological traits in clary sage (salvia sclarea), a pot experiment was conducted as factorial based on a completely randomized design with three levels of nacl and control (zero, 50, 100 and 150 mm), as the first factor and three levels of spraying the solution of salicylic acid and control (zero, 10...

to evaluate the effects of seed priming with salicylic acid on quality and baking traits of wheat flour, cv. alvand, under different sowing dates, a factorial experiment was conducted on the basis of complete randomized block design. the factors were seed priming with salicylic acid (including untreated seeds or control treatment, 400, 800, 1200, 1600, 2000 and 2400 µm concentrations of salicyl...

in order to examine the effects of biological and chemical fertilizers with the use of salicylic acid on the agronomic characteristics of corn as a factorial experiment in randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station in 2011 was boroujerd. factors examined included three levels of phosphorus fertilizer (0, 100 and 150 kg ha), two levels of biolog...

effect of seed priming by salicylic acid and application of controlled water stress in flowering stage on some physiological characters such as relative water content, chlorophyll index, photosynthetic rates, transpiration rates, stomatal conductance, and leaf internal co2 concentration was investigated on cowpea (vigna unguiculata l. cv. parastoo) plants. experiment was done as a split block d...

Spraying tobacco plants with salicylic acid induces both the synthesis of 'pathogenesis-related' (PR) proteins and resistance to viruses that can induce necrotic lesions. We show that spraying Samsun NN tobacco with salicylic acid induced the production of PR-1 mRNAs and inhibited the systemic multiplication of alfalfa mosaic virus (A1MV) by 90%. Salicylic acid treatment also induced the synthe...

Aspirin's potential as a drug continues to be evaluated for the prevention of colorectal cancer (CRC). Although multiple targets for aspirin and its metabolite, salicylic acid, have been identified, no unifying mechanism has been proposed to clearly explain its chemopreventive effects. Our goal here was to investigate the ability of salicylic acid metabolites, known to be generated through cyto...
