As an environmentally-green technology, thermal catalytic oxidation of octachloronaphthalene (CN-75) over anatase TiO2 nanomaterials was investigated at 300 °C. A wide range of oxidation intermediates, which were investigated using various techniques, could be of three types: naphthalene-ring, single-benzene-ring, and completely ring-opened products. Reactive oxygen species on anatase TiO2 surf...

Objective: In vitro propagation of AZ x M9 new apple rootstock resulted of breeding program of vegetative apple rootstock in Iran was investigated. Methods: Nodal explants were inoculated in Murashige and SKoog (MS) medium supplemented with various concentrations of 6-benzylaminon purine (BAP) (0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 mg/l) alone or with naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) (0.1 mg/l). We examined t...

The growth-inhibiting effects of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) at high concentration and the synthetic auxins 7-chloro-3-methyl-8-quinolinecarboxylic acid (quinmerac), 2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid (dicamba), 4-amino-3,6, 6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram), and naphthalene acetic acid, were investigated in cleavers (Galium aparine). When plants were root treated with 0.5 mM IAA, shoot epina...

The paper aimed to study the influence of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) and ethephon on total phenols, flavonoids and tannins as a function of seasonality in Echinodorus grandiflorus plants. The experiment used adventitious plantlets from the flower stem with 4 to 5 leaves, planted in 10-liter pots. The leaf spray treatments applied were: control, NAA 100 mg L -1 , and ethephon 100 mg L -1 . Tr...

WHO recommends artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) as the most effective choice to treat malaria. For developing transgenic plants with high accumulation of artemisinin (by introducing genes encoding enzymes which regulate the biosynthetic pathway of artemisinin), an efficient protocol for tissue culture and plant regeneration is necessary. In the present study, leaf explants of ...

  Objective: This study aimed to assess the destructive effects of citric acid, lactic acid and acetic acid produced from the fermentation of foods on primary teeth enamel.   Methods: This in vitro, experimental study was conducted on 24 sound primary teeth. The teeth were polished with a fine abrasive paper under running water. Tooth pieces measuring 3 × 4 × 3mm were cut out of the teeth and s...

The present study, "Effect of plant growth regulators on growth, fruit setting, and quality guava (Psidium guajava L.) in meadow orchard," was carried out the years 2021–2022, at Central Research Farm, Department Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom Institute Agriculture & Sciences, Prayagraj (U.P.). Ten treatments made up experiment with: control, three concentrations gibberellic acid (GA3) 75, ...

Total soluble solid (TSS) content is commercially used as fruit quality index because of its high positive correlation with sugar content. In the present study, The effect of foliar application of naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) with different concentrations (0, 25, 50, and 100 mg.L-1) at 4 true leaf and fruit set stages and plant training (pruning and thinning) on TSS and soluble sugar (i.e. suc...

Somatic embryogenesis has been accomplished from tender leaf base explant of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.). Three to five mm long tender leaf base explants derived from the meristamatic region of 2-3 year old offshoots of date palm cv. Kheneizi were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 10, 50, 100 and 150 mg l 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D) and incub...
