abstract in the present set of investigations, the anti-mutagenic and anti-cytotoxic effects of aqueous rosemary leaves extract (re) beside the dose dependency of these effects on male mice bone marrow and germ cells have been evaluated using in vivo cytogenetic, histopathologic and apoptotic assays, as well as biochemical analysis. doxorubicin (dxr), a well-known mutagen and cytotoxic agent, w...

this study was designed to investigate the effect of p. fluorescens fy32 inoculation on the activities of some antioxidant enzymes and ion concentration of two canola cultivars (sarigol and hyola308) under salinity stress (150 and 300 mm nacl) in the greenhouse condition (fall 2012, dept. of plant breeding and biotechnology, faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz). the experimental design...

Parsley root has been used medicinally since ancient times for possible medicinal qualities including antioxidative, antimicrobial, laxative, antihy-perlipidemic, anticoagulant and antihepatotoxic (1). The parsley importance is attributed to its high vitamins content (mainly vitamins C), anti-oxidants, and some mineral elements such as iron, as well as volatile oils that play an important role ...

To understand the adaptability of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) to environmental stresses, we analyzed the activity of several antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD), ascorbate peroxidase (APX), and catalase (CAT), in alfalfa shoots and roots subjected to salt and drought stresses during germination. The germination rate of six alfalfa cultivars was comparati...

salicylic acid (sa) is considered to be plant signal molecule that plays a key role in plant growth, development, and defense responses. the physiological mechanism of exogenous sa to affect the senescence of cut lisianthus flowers during vase life was investigated. fresh cut lisianthus flowers were treated with distilled water (control), 0.5, 1 and 2 mm sa and then held at 25◦c up to 12 days. ...
