plant tissue culture technique could provide sterile and controllable condition in order to assay direct effect of different compounds on plant growth accurately. in this study, the effects of aqueous extracts prepared from roots and shoots of goosefoot (chenopodium album l.), redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus l.), fennel (foeniculum vulgare), and wormwood (artemisia absinthium l.) were e...

Cisplatin is an effective chemotherapeutics against a wide range of cancers. However, it causes significant nausea and vomiting which limit its usefulness. In the present study, the effects of methanolic root extract of Pluchea lanceolata (DC.) C. B. Clarke , asteraceae ( MPL ) was investigated against cisplatin-induced nausea using a rat pica model. In rat pica model, rats react to cispla...

BACKGROUND There are many descriptions of the association of pica with iron deficiency in adults, but there are few reports in which observations available at diagnosis of iron deficiency were analyzed using multivariable techniques to identify significant predictors of pica. We sought to identify clinical and laboratory correlates of pica in adults with iron deficiency or depletion using univa...

Consumption rates, development times, and life table parameters of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua (Hübner), were determined on Þve host plants: cabbage, Brassica oleracea capitata L; cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L.; bell pepper, Capsicum annuum L.; pigweed, Amaranthus retroflexus L.; and sunßower, Helianthus annuus L. Mean total leaf weight consumed by larvae was highest in cabbage (2.7 g) ...

Weedy Amaranthus species frequently cause economically significant reductions in crop yields. Accurate identification of Amaranthus species is important for efficient weed control, but Amaranthus species can interbreed, which might cause difficulty when identifying hybrid-derived specimens. To determine which of several economically important weedy Amaranthus species are most genetically simila...

in order to evaluate the efficiency of empirical competition models for simulation of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.) yield at interference with redroot pigweed (amaranthus retroflexus l.), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was carried out. factors were weed densities (d1=1, d2= 4, d3= 8, d4=12 and d5=16 plants m-1 of row) and relative time o...

INTRODUCTION The prevalence of atopic diseases has increased in recent decades dramatically. The most common aeroallergens in Northeastern Iran have not been fully defined. Determining the most common aeroallergens in allergic patients based on the skin prick test (SPT) was aimed in this investigation. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study enrolled 1,006 allergic patients (aged 1-8...
