Based on the characteristics of Lycoris aurea (L. aurea) natural distribution and local soil types, we selected four representative types of soil, including humus soil, sandy soil, garden soil and yellow-brown soil, for conducting the cultivation experiments to investigate key soil factors influencing its growth and development and to select the soil types suitable for cultivating it. We found ...

Recent anthropogenic influences on freshwater habitats are forcing anuran populations to rapidly adapt to high magnitude changes in environmental conditions or face local extinction. We examined the effects of ecologically relevant elevated salinity levels on larval growth, metamorphosis and survival of three species of Australian anuran; the spotted marsh frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis), the...

This study evaluated the effect of Matricaria chamomilla and vaccination frequency on cattle immunization against rabies. Four groups (n = 15 /group) were treated with or without Matricaria chamomilla CH12 and vaccinated with one or two doses of rabies vaccine (30 day interval). No effect of chamomile was found on cattle immunization against rabies; however, antibody titers were protective in c...

In order to evaluate the variations of some morphological traits, yield, seed yield components and essential oil yield of German Chamomile under different application levels of nitrogen (N) and biofertilizers, a split plot experiment laid out in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in Shar-e-Ray (Gale No) region. Chemical N fertilizer application in three levels (0, 65 an...

The activity of ribulose 1,5-diphosphate (RuDP)-carboxylase and RuDP-oxygenase was measured in crude leaf extracts of the tobacco (N . tabacum ) phenotypes which differed with respect to their gene constitution and with respect to their photosynthetic and photorespiratory activity. The green wild type (JWB) which carried the discussed two nuclear factors su and aur in the condition su/su Aur/Au...

BACKGROUND In Ethiopia, Calpurnia aurea is used for the treatment of syphilis, malaria, rabies, diabetes, hypertension, diarrhoea, leishmaniasis, trachoma, elephantiasis, fungal diseases and different swellings. However, despite its traditional usage as an antidiarrhoeal and antimicrobial agent, there is limited or no information regarding its effectiveness and mode of action in diarrhoea which...
