this experiment was conducted in germinator in order to study the effects of water potential on seed germination, rate of germination and seedlings growth of four medicinal plants (coriandrum sativum, plantago psyllium, discorinia sophia and portulaca oleracea). four water potential inclouding distilled water as control (0), -0.37, -0.59 and –0.81 mpa which made by different salts (nacl, cacl2 ...

in this research, potential effects of oil and monetary policy shocks on economic growth of iran are examined and share of each of them on economic growth are calculated during 1974-2006 period and potential mutual effects of those shocks by using the vector auto regressive (var) model are analysed. results of this research show that oil shocks significantly affected the economic growth in iran...

regarding increasing rate of drug resistance among microbial pathogens, a global search to find new antimicrobial agents from natural compounds with fewer side effects has been considered by many researchers worldwide. bioactive compounds with good antimicrobial activity have been isolated from different algae and cyanobacteria. the current study was performed to determine antimicrobial potenti...

BACKGROUND Human growth hormone (HGH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) have been shown to play a role in the malignant transformation and progression of a variety of cancers. HGH is also known to upregulate molecular signaling pathways implicated in the pathogenesis of melanoma. Although HGH has previously been implicated in promoting the clinical growth of both benign and malignant mel...

degradation of natural habitats and decreasing of genetic diversity of populus caspica led to vast reduction of its regeneration and growth potential in north of iran. hence, the growth potential of mass-produced seedlings was compared with their parents. for this purpose, the ramets of three selected seedlings from 17 parent trees belonging to north of iran, along with ramets of their parent t...

TRPC4 and TRPC5 channels are important regulators of electrical excitability in both gastrointestinal myocytes and neurons. Much is known regarding the assembly and function of these channels including TRPC1 as a homotetramer or a heteromultimer and the roles that their interacting proteins play in controlling these events. Further, they are one of the best-studied targets of G protein-coupled ...
