The effects of salicylic acid (SA) and Putrescine (Put), on cut Gladioluswas studied. SA (0, 150, 300 and 450 mg l-1) and Put (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg l-1), their combinations were tested as preservative mixture. This study was conducted in a factorial experiment with complete randomized design on 192 Gladioluscut flowers in horticulture laboratory of agriculture faculty of...

This study investigated the effects of short-term subclinical Zn deficiency on exocrine pancreatic activity and changes in digestive capacity. A total of forty-eight weaned piglets were fed ad libitum a basal diet (maize and soyabean meal) with adequate Zn supply (88 mg Zn/kg diet) during a 2-week acclimatisation phase. Animals were then assigned to eight dietary treatment groups (n 6) accordin...

Effective and rapid in vitro plantlet regeneration from protocorms of Cymbidium aloifolium using chitosan, coconut water potato extract were investigated. Two experiments performed twelve week old size 2-3 mm. In the first experiment, propagated on solid New Dogashima (ND) medium supplemented with various concentrations chitosan (0, 0.05, 0.10 1.00 mg/l). For second cultured same 100, 150 200 m...

Water hardness is known to control the uptake and toxicity of zinc and other metals through either chemical competition, biological acclimation, or both processes. The dominant process controlling zinc uptake has not been previously elucidated, nor has the effect of calcium been investigated independently of other cations. We determined zinc uptake by rainbow trout acclimated and exposed to fou...

abstract soil contamination with heavy metals is a serious problem in all over the world. soils are contaminated by many different sources of heavy metals. currently different methods are used by researchers for identifying heavy metal contamination. assessing soil metal toxicity with bacterial bioluminescence is one of the new techniques. in this study, different concentrations of zinc and cop...
