Cosmic radiation is known to induce DNA and lipid damage associated with increased oxidative stress and remains a major concern in space travel. Hydrogen, recently discovered as a novel therapeutic medical gas in a variety of biomedical fields, has potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. It is expected that space mission activities will increase in coming years both in numbers and ...

phenotypic coefficient correlation is a relation criteria for traits. this coefficient can be used to differentiate insignificant traits of  varieties in selection programs. this survey was carried out with 10 breeding populations and susceptible controls in normal and stress conditions. the drought field was irrigated when plants reached wilting point. traits such as leaf length and width, pet...

N-Propylsulfamic acid supported onto magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MNPs-PSA) was investigated as an efficient and magnetically recoverable catalyst for the one-pot synthesis of substituted coumarins from the reaction of coumarin with variety aromatic aldehydes in high to excellent yield at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. The magnetic nanocatalyst can be readily recovered easily ...

drought causes significant reductions in crop productivity in many parts of the world, including iran. identifying genotypes tolerant to drought stress is therefore one of the foremost goals of crop breeding programs. this study investigated the effect of terminal drought stress on yield and yield components of new winter rapeseed lines, and identified new winter rapeseed lines tolerant to term...

in order to study stress tolerance indices and identifying tolerance genotypes to drought stress condition 16 genotypes of durum wheat were assessed in a randomized complete block design with four replications under two irrigated and rainfed conditions in the research station located in west of iran ilam in 2006- 2007. results showed that variation in among durum wheat genotypes under irrigated...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of drought stress on 22 durum wheat genotypes. different characteristics such as grain weight per spike, plant biomass, 100 grain weight, free proline content in leaves, and percentage of cell membrane damage were studied in greenhouse and laboratory conditions. genotypes were sown under normal irrigation and moisture stress conditions. in stress ...

background: analysis of many proteins produced during the transition into the stationary phase and under stress conditions (including starvation stress) demonstrated that a number of novel proteins were induced in common to each stress and could be the reason for cross-protection in bacterial cells. it is necessary to investigate the synthesis of these proteins during different stress condition...

ornithine is a non-proteinogenic amino acid, which plays an essential role in the metabolism of plants. regard to the chirality of the molecule, physiological response of the plant cells to its two enantiomers have not been widely investigated yet. in the present study, suspension-cultured tobacco cells were treated with 1 mm of d- and lenantiomers of ornithine in normal conditions as well as u...
