The bacterium Rhodopseudomonas palustris grows with the aromatic acid benzoate and the alicyclic acid cyclohexanecarboxylate (CHC) as sole carbon sources. The enzymatic steps in an oxygen-independent pathway for CHC degradation have been elucidated, but it was unknown how the CHC operon (badHI aliAB badK) encoding the enzymes for CHC degradation was regulated. aliA and aliB encode enzymes for t...

This study was carried out to investigation the possibility of using Triadimefon (TRD) in order to decrease the adverse effects of salt stress on Medicago plant. Triadimefon is a member of Triazol compounds which enhances stress tolerance through physiological processes. Two cultivars of Medicago sitiva including Hamedani and Yazdi were used in this study. Plants were treated with 1, 2 and 4 mg...

A halophyte, common glasswort (Salicornia europaea L.), showed no phytotoxic or deficiency symptom at 100 and 300 mM NaCl, whereas plant growth was stunted at 0, 500, and 700 mM NaCl. In addition, the water content was lower within the shoots at 0 mM NaCl, as compared with the range of NaCl treatments. Under NaCl treatment, Naþ levels increased in the shoot and the root, whereas the levels of o...

Glycine betaine is an important quaternary ammonium compound that is produced in response to several abiotic stresses in many organisms. The synthesis of glycine betaine requires the catalysis of betaine aldehyde dehydrogenase (BADH), which can convert betaine aldehyde into glycine betaine in plants, especially in halotolerant plants. In this study, we isolated the full-length cDNA of BADH from...

زمینه و هدف: کاردیومیوپاتی دیابتی یکی از عوامل خطرزای اصلی برای عوارض قلبی- عروقی دیابت است آنجایی که فعالیت بدنی در بیماران می‌تواند ساختار عملکرد میوکارد را تحت تأثیر قرار دهد، لذا هدف پژوهش حاضر بررسی هشت هفته تمرین تناوبی با شدت بالا (HIIT) بر محتوای پروتئین‌های NF-kB Wnt بافت عضله قلبی موش‌های صحرایی نژاد ویستار مبتلا به نوع دو است.مواد روش‌‌ها: مطالعه 20 سر موش نر سن 8-6 میانگین وزن 9/16±...

صخلملا Seasonal variation of zooplankton biomass has been carried out at two selected sites on Greater Zab River. Monthly samples of water were collected during period from January to December 2008. Some physico-chemical properties of water were studied including water temperature (from 8 to 30.5 C), hydrogen ion concentration (from 6.3 to 8), EC (from 255 to 821 μs.cm), turbidity (1085 NTU), d...
