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...

diabetes is a metabolic disorder specified by hyperglycemia following a defect in insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both. the aim of this study was to examine the effect of high-intensity interval training (hiit) on serum adiponectin levels and insulin resistance of women with type 2 diabetes. for this purpose, 35 overweight women with type 2 diabetes (age range 45-60 years, bmi 25-30 kg...

objectives in this study, we reported the identification of a cdna sequence encoding cysteine-free antimicrobial peptides isolated from venomous glands of this species. materials and methods total rna was extracted from the iranian mesobuthus eupeus venom glands, and cdna was synthesized by using the modified oligo (dt). the cdna was used as the template for applying semi-nested rt- pcr techniq...
