We evaluated the preventive and therapeutic effects of aqueous suspensions of garlic, tomato, and garlic + tomato in the development of experimental Ehrlich tumors in mice. The aqueous suspensions (2%) were administered over a short term for 30 days before tumor inoculation and 12 days afterward, and suspensions at 6% were administered for 180 days before inoculation and for 12 days afterward. ...

septoria tritici blotch (stb), caused by the ascomycete fungus mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: septoria tritici), is one of the most important foliar diseases of wheat. in this research, quantitative expression analysis of five candidate genes for the induction of resistance to stb (pr-1, bsi, msr, per, and ppi) was conducted in the wheat cultivars ‘seri 82’ (susceptible) and ‘fronta...

Rabbits were inoculated with a suspension of VX2 carcinoma cells in the liver, and mitomycin C was given via the hepatic artery or the portal vein for a study of the anticancer effects. Twenty-eight rabbits were killed for preliminary study at 1 h or 1, 3, 7, 9, 12, or 14 days after the inoculation. Another 36 rabbits were divided into three groups. Groups A and B were given the agent (0.5 mg/k...

To establish an experimental persistent infection of the brain with human adenoviruses, adenovirus type 6 (ad 6) was inoculated intracerebrally into young adult hamsters. Hamsters appeared languid for a few days after inoculation, but recovered rapidly. By cocultivation of tissue fragments with HeLa cells, ad 6 was always recovered from the brains of hamsters throughout their lives, as long as ...

potassium is an essential plant macronutrient. various microorganisms including bacteria and fungi, algae, yeast and mosses are able to decompose silicate minerals and to dissolve nutrient such as k, fe, zn and si. aamong them bacteria are more important. the aim of this study was to determine the ability of microbial populations for releasing soil potassium. this study was carried out as a fac...

The combined effects of inoculation level (4 or 8-fold compared to standard inoculation) and sequence (standard inoculation before fermentation and 3-fold inoculation at the end of fermentation=1+3, Two-fold inoculation before fermentation and the same at the end of fermentation=2+2, 2+6, 4-fold before fermentation=4, 4+4, and 8) of culture inoculum containing probiotics on biochemical and micr...

Phytophthora species are considered as the major cause of several plant diseases resulting in huge yield losses in agricultural crops. Despite years of effort to develop Phytophthora resistance varieties, there is no reports of a resistant cucumber variety. In this study, the effect of concomitant application of potassium phosphite (KPhi) and chitosan on some physiological and molecular respons...

Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by the ascomycete fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola (asexual stage: Septoria tritici), is one of the most important foliar diseases of wheat. In this research, quantitative expression analysis of five candidate genes for the induction of resistance to STB (PR-1, Bsi, Msr, Per, and Ppi) was conducted in the wheat cultivars ‘Seri 82’ (susceptible) and ‘Fronta...
