background: determination of digestive enzymes activity would provide critical information in the design of appropriate diet. sobaity, sparidentex hasta is found in the persian gulf and  cultured in countries adjacent to it. objectives: this study investigated proteolytic, amylase and lipase activities in the intestine of sparidentex hasta captured from the  persian gulf. methods: 60 immature s...

plants and soil microbes are the main sources of most enzymes available in the environment. it is, therefore, anticipated that any change in the growth of soil biota in response to salinity, may reduce the synthesis and production of extra- and intra- cellular enzymes. as a result, a reduction in the growth of plants and the activity of soil microbes in saline environments may lessen the level ...

drought resistance is a very important characteristic needed for plant survival especially at germination stage, in arid and semi-arid lands. phosphatase enzymes are widely found in plants. these enzymes are responsible for dephosphorylation of organic phosphate and altering it to mineral phosphate. germination experiments were conducted in two bread wheat cultivars (sardari and alvand) under s...

In most southern provinces of Iran, Soil Salinity is a growing problem particularly in the irrigated agricultural areas and has been found to reduce crop yields. In order to investigate the role of pod removal in seed germination, seedling growth and antioxidant enzymes activity in annual medics (Medicago scutella L.) under salinity stress conditions, a factorial experiment was conducted at Col...

The ontogenesis and specific activities of pancreatic (trypsin, chymotrypsin, amylase and lipase) and intestinal enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, aminopeptidase N) were investigated in Kutum (Rutilus frisii Kutum) from the onset of exogenous feeding (3 day after hatching, DAH) to the juvenile stage at 50 DAH. Trypsin- and chymotrypsin-specific activity showed similar patterns and increased with l...
