in order to investigate the effects of mycorrhiza symbiosis and different nitrogen levels on yield, yield components and essential oil content and yield of fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill.) and ajowan (carum copticum l.), a field experiment was arranged in a factoriel based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of...

In the present study Willbutrin (bupropion hydrochloride) was employed to induce mutagenic/ carcinogenic features in mice, i.e. undesirable cell division and DNA damage. The repair actions of fennel dry seeds and its extracted bioactive substance anethole supplied to Willbutrin-treatedmice in a dietary regime were investigated. Male Swiss albino mice (25-30gm) orally received Willbutrin dose (0...
