background & aim: turmeric, scientifically named (curcuma longa l.), a member of ginger (zingiberaceae) family, is a perennial plant, with pharmaceutical properties and with a rhizome. this plant has many medicinal characteristics including anti-cancer, anti-bacteria and anti-hepatitis properties. experimental: to study the effects of gibberellic acid and salicylic acid on leaf, the rhizome...

in order to study the effect of salicylic acid on antioxidant enzymes activity such as peroxidase (pod), gayacol peroxidase (gpx) and poly phenol oxidase (ppo), chlorophyll a, b and carotenoid in coriander, this study was done as completely randomized whit three replication in biocenter of zabol university, 2014. salicylic acid was in four level (0, 1, 1.5 and 2 mm). in comparison with control,...

The activation of programmed cell death (PCD) is often a result of complex signalling pathways whose relationship and intersection are not well understood. We recently described a PCD root hair assay and proposed that it could be used to rapidly screen genetic or pharmacological modulators of PCD. To further assess the applicability of the root hair assay for studying multiple signalling pathwa...

Evening Primrose oil (Oenothera biennis L.) is a rich source of Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) and other useful unsaturated fatty acids. Despite the diversity of sources of GLA, due to better absorption in the human body, evening primrose oil is the main source of GLA. In this study, the effects of pollination, harvesting method and application of salicylic acid on yield, yield components, and qual...

to evaluate the response of wheat to drought stress and salicylic acid, this field experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of college of agriculture, university of shahid bahonar kerman, iran in 2011-2012, in a split-plot arrangement using completely randomized block design with four replications. main plot was irrigation (normal irrigation and cut off at flowering) and sub plot was...

Salicylic acid, salicyluric acid, and gentisic acid in plasma are specifically quantitated (ultraviolet detection at 313 nm) with an octadecyl silane reversed-phase chromatographic column by peak-height determination or by peak-height ratios (internal standard, o-methoxybenzoic acid). Sample preparation requires addition of an equal volume of methyl cyanide (with or without the internal standar...

A highly efficient regio- and stereoselective total synthesis of (±)-grandifloracin via a tandem dearomative epoxidation/spontaneous Diels-Alder cyclodimerization from salicylic acid in only four steps is reported. The synthetic route allows for late-stage diversification of the core structure to give ready access to analogues of this promising agent against pancreatic cancer.

Cut gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii) flowers are sensitive to microbial contamination and have short vase life. The effect of salicylic acid, citric acid and ascorbic acid (50, 100 and 200 mg l-1) was evaluated on vase life of gerbera flowers. Changes in vase life, water absorption, and bacterial population in stem and vase solution, also biochemical characteristics such as protein concentration, li...

Heavy metals pollution is one of the key environmental problems. In this research, the effect of seed priming with salicylic acid and sodium hydrosulfide was investigated on methionine and arginine amino acids contents and some compounds derived from their metabolism as well as ZmACS6 and ZmSAMD transcripts levels in maize plants under lead stress. For this purpose, maize seeds were soaked in s...
