Background & Aims: Diabetes mellitus is associated with changes in testicular tissue. Here, the effects of co-administration of zinc and vanadium sulfate on testicular damage in diabetic animals were studied. Materials & Methods:  Moderate diabetic hyperglycemia was induced by injection of streptozotocin (STZ) 40 mg/kg, ip. Five groups of animals were selected (n=5). Group I: As no...

The effect of foliar application of zinc sulfate and seaweed on qualitative and quantitative characteristics of local Kermanshah cantaloupe (Cucumis melo L., Cantalupensis Group) cv. Kalak was investigated. After sowing seeds in the field, the plants were sprayed in three stages including the 4-6 leaf stage, flowering and after the fruit set. The experiment had a factorial design based on the r...

The percentage and rate of germination and proper establishment of seedlings are important factors contributing to higher yield per unit area. As an essential element for plant growth and development, Zinc plays a critical role in many metabolic processes, and also has a positive effect on seed germination. The effects of seed priming with concentrations of 0.5, 1 and 2 percent zinc sulfate on ...

Application of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria and foliar application of Nano-Zinc oxide are proper and cheap method for increasing of Triticale yield. So, in order to study of the effects of nano-zinc oxide and seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on contribution of dry matter remobilization and stem reserves in grain yield, chlorophyll content, stomata conduc...
