Priming is one of the seed enhancement methods that might be resulted in increased seed performance (germination and emergence), seedling growth and plant yield under stress conditions, such as salinity, temperature and drought stress. In order to evaluate the effect of growth hormones on morphology characteristics and essential oil of basil under drought stress condition, a experiment was cond...

A factorial experiment with two factors was carried out at the Seed Technology Lab., College of Agriculture, University Baghdad in 2018 order to study effect seed priming gibberellic acid (GA3) (0, 100, 300 and 500 mgL-1) on germination seedling growth deteriorated oat cultivars (Shifaa, Shofan11). The complete randomized design used four replications. results showed that cultivars, soaking dif...

Rimpang temu mangga (Curcuma Valeton Zijp) merupakan tanaman dari keluarga Zingiberaceae. Tanaman ini memiliki kandungan metabolit sekunder antara lain flavonoid, kurkumin, saponin, minyak atsiri, terpenoid dan polifenol. Flavonoid salah satu yang berperan dalam aktivitas antioksidan. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka penelitian dilakukan untuk mengetahui antioksidan kadar flavonoid rimpang dengan ...

SCOPE The long-term effect of exposure to relevant dietary levels of genistein (GEN) on estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) human breast cancer (MCF-7) progression after GEN withdrawal in athymic mice xenograft model was studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS Feeding studies were conducted to determine the estrogenic effect of diets on MCF-7 tumor growth: (1) implantation (19 weeks) and withdrawal (6 we...

Ruscus aculeatus, Tamus communis and Smilax aspera are wild species whose young spring sprouts are consumed in some areas of Italy. Although sometimes abundant in the natural vegetation, these species are not common on a country basis. Sprouts are therefore only locally commercially available. Cultivation could contribute to make them better known and increase vegetable product differentiation....

Long-term exposure of rodents to propylene oxide (PO) induced inflammation, respiratory cell hyperplasia, and nasal tumors at concentrations >/= 300 ppm, suggesting a possible role for cytotoxicity and compensatory cell proliferation in PO carcinogenesis. In this study, the effects of PO exposure on histopathology and cell proliferation in nasal and hepatic tissues were studied in male F344 rat...

Long-term in vivo carcinogenicity tests of potassium bromate (KBrO3), sodium hypochlorite (NaClO), and sodium chlorite (NaClO2) have been conducted in Japan from 1977 to 1985. In these investigations, groups of approximately 50 male and 50 female F344 rats or B6C3F1 mice were given solutions of the compounds as their drinking water ad libitum at two dose levels determined on the basis of prelim...

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is a group of plant hormones identified in various plants. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of GA3 on sperm parameters and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Fifty six adult male rats were divided into seven groups as, control, treatment and sham. Following 15, 30 and 45 days of GA3 and methanol alcohol (MA) administration, rats were euthanized and epididymis...

A field experiment was conducted to find out the Effect of two concentrations GA3 and NAA their combinations on growth yield brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) cv. Kashi Sandesh. The laid in Randomized Block Design with three replications nine treatments. Higher attributing characters viz. maximum plant height (71.14 cm), number leaves per (71.65), branches (12.77), Days 50% flowering (43.12) &...
