among the environmental stresses, salinity is a major limiting factor in world legumes production is considered. in this study, sodium chloride and salicylic acid interaction on growth parameters were investigated in greenhouse with factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with three replications. the plant consisted of three cultivars of lentil (kimiya, kermanshah and gachsara...

Lactoferrin (LF) is a multifunctional protein in the transferrin family that has been widely used food and pharmaceutical products. However, it susceptible to denaturation during thermal processing, which can diminish functionality bioavailability of LF final product. Coacervation with biopolymers demonstrated as promising approach protect from denaturation. This work aims study formation condi...

The effect of in situ immobilization of lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) in soil with respectively phosphate and iron is well recognized. However, studies on combined Pb and As-contaminated soil are fewer, and assessment of the effectiveness of the immobilization on mobility and bioaccessibility is also necessary. In this study, a Pb and As-contaminated soil was collected from an abandoned lead/zinc ...

Objective: Soil salinity is one of the major worldwide environmental constraints affecting agricultural production in arid and semiarid regions. Lack of proper management of water and soil resources lead to increase soil salinity and reduce soil fertility. On the other hand, it seems simple and cheap method of measuring soil salinity is necessary. The aim of this study was to determine the rela...

The purpose of this research is the zoning of groundwater quality for agriculture usages in the Eyvanakey plain, conjugating Interpolation methods by Geographic Information System (GIS) and selection of the best weights in Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Achieving this aim, groundwater quality data from 19 wells in Eyvanakey plain were used. First, raster maps of the study area was prepared...

Groundwater in the Touggourt region—or as its named, Oued Righ—in southeastern Algeria, is only source of irrigation. To assess suitability for agricultural purposes, we collected 72 samples from wells at this region, physical and chemical measurements were carried out each water sample, calculations sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), permeability index (PI), soluble percent (SSP), residual carbona...

AIM OF THE STUDY Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression has been observed in a substantial percentage of classical adenomas of the large bowel. The aim of the study was to assess and compare the expression of COX-2 in serrated polyps of the colon. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and nineteen serrated polyps were analyzed. There were 83 hyperplastic polyps (HP), 19 sessile serrated polyps (SSP) ...

Background: Sodium caseinate is a rich source of protein and minerals originating from animals. Numerous food and non-food products are made from sodium caseinate. The present study investigated the chemical components (moisture, crude protein, ash, and soluble crude protein) of sodium caseinate prepared by different acids and drying techniques. Methods: A completely randomized factorial desig...

The levels of mRNAs from genes (sspA, B and E) which code for major small, acid-soluble, spore proteins of Bacillus subtilis have been determined, as well as the levels of mRNAs from ssp-lacZ gene fusions. Increasing the gene dosage of ssp-lacZ fusions resulted in parallel increases in both the ssp-lacZ mRNA level and the rate of b-galactosidase accumulation. Similarly, an 11-fold increase in s...

Within their natural habitat, plants are subjected to abiotic stresses that include heat stress. In the current study, effect of 4 h, 24 and 48 h stress on Tetraena propinqua ssp. migahidii seedling’s protein profile proteomic analyses were investigated. Total soluble SDS-PAGE (Sodium dodecyl sulfate–polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) showed 18-protein bands, newly synthesized band (with molec...
