Seed dispersal is critical for successful invasion and range expansion by non-native plants; dispersal is likely to be enhanced if they can successfully comp...

Sumac (Rhus coriaria L.), belonging to the Anacardiaceae family, grows in Mediterranean countries, North Africa, South Europe, Afghanistan and Iran. The sumac berries contain biological activities such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, hypoglycemic and antidiabetic. The present study examined the effects of water extract of sumac on the chemical, microbiological and sensory quality on silver carp ...

In this study, the therapeutic effects of Pistacia terebinthus L. subsp. Palaestina (terebinth) and Rhus coriaria L (sumac) plants on DMBA-induced breast cancer in 66 female Sprague-Dawley rats were investigated through biochemical analysis. The divided into 6 groups as Control, DMBA (7.12-Dimethylbenzanthracene), PT (terebinth), RC (sumac), PT+DMBA RC+DMBA. was administered to 8-week-old via g...

this experiment was carried out to determine the effect of different levels of sumac powder (rhus coriaria l.) in the ration with and without probioenzyme on the performance and parameters of blood cholesterol and triglycerides of japanese quail, from the age of 8 to 42 days, based on a completely randomized design, containing 8 treatment, 3 repetion, and 5 chicks of quail with both sexes in ea...

background: the use of chemical materials such as malachite green to disinfect fish eggs is banned in many countries due to its reversed environmental effects. objectives: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of metalonic sumac extract as antifungal agent on eggs of schizothorax zarudnyi during the incubation period and to compare its effects with malachite green. methods: 24...

This study investigated the effect of dry heat on the antioxidant capacity of water extracts of six spices, namely black pepper (Piper nigrum Linn.), cumin (Cuminum cyminum Linn.), clove (Syzygium aromaticum Linn.), cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum, syn. C. zeylanicum Blume), sumac (Rhus coriaria L.) and golpar (H. persicum Desf. Ex.), which were either roasted or heated in a microwave oven, powdered...

introduction and goal: today, the researchers have found that many recent diseases are due to cellular oxidative stress which is caused by the imbalance of the formation and neutralization of free radicals. including weak immune system, cancers, inflectional diseases, aging body and diabetes. diabetes is the most common endocrine disease in the world that is referred to as the mother of the dis...

Background: The increasing demand for natural preservatives results in their extended usefulness. The objective of the present study was to investigate the physicochemical and antioxidative characteristics of Rhus coriaria L. (sumac) fruit and comparison of its antioxidative and antibacterial activity with Zataria multiflora Essential Oil (ZEO) as native Iranian natural additives. Methods: Ant...
