understanding of physiological responses of salt tolerance might be lead to identify main salt tolerance mechanisms and essential approaches for improving grain yield stability, and also to select salt tolerant wheat cultivars. thus, the effects of salinity were investigated on grain yield and some of the characteristics related to salt tolerance. six wheat cultivars (roshan, kavir, karchia, ga...

in the present study ethanol and water extracts of 15 seaweeds, dictyota dichotoma var. velutricata, dictyota indica, iyengaria stellata, padina pavonia, sargassum swartzii, sargassum variegatum, stoechospermum marginatum, stokeyia indica, jolyna laminarioides, caulerpa taxifolia, halimeda tuna, ulva fasciata, ulva lactuca, solieria robusta, and melanothamnus afaqhusainii, were evaluated for th...

the aim of present study was to investigate and compare antioxidant properties of green tea and rosemary extracts and determine the effect of their combination on the antioxidant properties. results of total phenols, dpph free radical scavenging assay, total antioxidant capacity, reducing power and their addition into soybean oil, showed that the green tea extract was significantly (p<0.05) mor...

methanol 70% extract of bauhinia racemosa aerial parts was tested for antimicrobial activity against different bacterial and fungal strains and for antioxidant activity and also total content of polyphenols with phytochemical analysis of the extract was determined. the results have showed that the extract has a significant antimicrobial activity, it inhibited the growth of bacillus subtilis and...

This study describes the effects of the substituents on electrochemical behavior and antioxidant activity of the three tetradentate Schiff bases, containing ethane-1,2- diamine, propane-1,3- diamine and butan-1,4- diamine as the amine part and salicylaldehyde, and corresponding Cd(II) complexes. Cyclic voltammograms of these compounds were recorded in dimethylsulfoxide and 0.1 M sodium perchlor...

this study was designed to examine the chemical composition and in-vitro antioxidant activity of the essential oil and methanolic extract of teucrium orientale subsp. taylori. the gc and gc–ms analysis of the essential oil resulted in determination of 40 components representing 96.4% of the oil. the major constituents of the oil were linalool (28.6%), caryophyllene oxide (15.6%), 1,8-cineol (4....

abstract antioxidant capacity and quality of fruits usually changed during storage. in the current study, the changes of antioxidant capacity and postharvest quality of two blood (pigmented) orange cultivars (‘tarocco’ and ‘morro’) and ‘thompson navel’ orange, after 60 days storage at 7ºc and 90 rh% was investigated. during fruit storage weight loss, tss, ta, tss/ta, vitamin c, total phenol, an...

the number of patients with end-stage renal disease is growing rapidly in asia. patients with end stage renal disease failure (esrd) undergoing long term hemodialysis (hd) are at risk for high oxidative stress. there is paucity of information with regard to oxidative stress during hd. therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate catalase enzyme activity in erythrocytes and the total ...

drought, withnegative impacts on plant growth and development, isa major abiotic stress. in order to decreasing drought stress injuries and recognizing red peppers tolerance physiology against drought stress in greenhouse conditions, an experiment with three levels of drought stress (irrigation at 100, 60 and 30% of field capacity) and four concentrations of 5-aminolevolinic acid ((ala; 0, 0.25...
