The purpose of this study was to alleviate the harmful effects water restriction, by applying foliar doses putrescine (0, 50, 100 and 150 mg L-1) on basil plants, as well as, understand different soil levels (60% 80% capacity) plant development. We evaluated physiology metabolic pathways plants. Basil plants under restriction reduced their growth dry matter accumulation, leaf status, physiologi...

based studies are conducted, the effects of Al are usually confounded with other factors such as levels of P, Ca, Despite good resistance to acid-soil stresses, white clover (TriMo, Mn, Zn, organic acids, and other soil components folium repens L.) is not found on some acid soils. Our objectives (Edmeades et al., 1995; Villagarcia et al., 2001). An exwere to develop a large-leafed white clover ...

BACKGROUND Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) is one of the serious side effects which have become the most common secondary osteoporosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of parsley, basil and chicory on glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in rats. METHODS Fifty Female rats were divided into five groups and treated for 8 weeks as follow: group 1 s...

Quantitative microscope techniques were utilized to examine the adsorption of rhizobial cells to clover root hairs. Adsorption of cells of noninfective strains of Rhizobium trifolii or infective R. meliloti strains to clover root hairs was four to five times less than that of the infective R. trifolii strains. Attachment of the rod-shaped bacteria to clover root cells occurred in a polar, end-o...

to assess required growing degree days (gdd) for phenological stages of four clover species in different planting dates a field experiment was conducted in 2010-11 and 2011-12 cropping seasons in seed and plant improvement institute in karaj, iran. three planting dates (14 september, 28 september and 13 october) and six clover varieties were assigned to main plots and sub-plots, respectively, a...

Six year-round, all-forage, three-paddock systems for beef cow-calf production were used to produce five calf crops during a 6-yr period. Forages grazed by cows during spring, summer, and early fall consisted of one paddock of 1) tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.)-ladino clover (Trifolium repens L.) or 2) Kentucky blue-grass (Poa pratensis L.)-white clover (Trifolium repens L.). Each of ...

Basil (Ocimum L.), a medicinal and aromatic plant genus, is widely used in food and pharmaceutical industry for ages. Our previous studies reported high potential of essential oils in the unexplored and un-exploited landraces of Omani basil. In the present study, nine Omani landraces of common basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) were analyzed for the assessment of genetic diversity with RAPD markers. O...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of planting pattern and irrigation system on antioxidant activity of wheat and Persian clover. The experiment was carried out as a two-factor factorial with three replications. The first factor was irrigation system (conventional and partial root-zone irrigation) and the second was planting pattern (sole wheat, sole Persian clover, alterna...
