The interactive effects of nickel (Ni) and ascorbic acid (AsA) and gibberellin (GA3) on soybean seedlings (Glycine max L. cv. Union × Elf) were examined. Seven-day old hydroponically-grown seedlings were exposed to NiCl2, 6H2O (0.5 mM), either with or without AsA (1 mM) or GA3 (0.05 mM) or AsA (1 mM) plus GA3 (0.05 mM), for five days. Nickel toxicity symptoms, such as formation of reddish-brown...

glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (gdnf) plays important roles not only for the differentiation of neurons during normal development but also for the survival and recovery of many populations of mature neurons. the effect of traumatic brain injury (tbi) on the expression of gdnf is currently unknown. to determine if there is alteration in gdnf after tbi we examined the effect of contr...

this study was conducted to determine the effect of foliar salicylic acid (sa) and citric acid (ca) applications on growth, biochemical characteristics and essential oil content of thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) grown under field conditions. salicylic acid (0.5 and 1 mm) and citric acid (5 and 10 mm) were applied three times during the vegetation at 15 day intervals. results revealed that foliar ap...

spawn quality plays an important role in successful production of medicinal mushrooms. in this study, firstly, to determine the optimum temperature for mycelia growth of g. lucidum, four basal media, including seeds of wheat, barley, millet and abies sp. wood chip were studied separately at 25±1˚c and 29±1˚c. in the second section, in order to achieve suitable the mycelia growth, barley, wheat ...
