Visnagin (4-methoxy-7-methyl-5H-furo[3,2-g][1]-benzopyran-5-one), which is an active principle extracted from the fruits of Ammi visnaga, has been used as a treatment for low blood-pressure and blocked blood vessel contraction by inhibition of calcium influx into blood cells. However, the neuroprotective effect of visnagin was not clearly known until now. Thus, we investigated whether visnagin ...

Evaluation of Stability and Adaptability in the Selected Lines Some Iranian Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) by AMMI GGE Biplot Methods

objectives: the purpose of this study was to assay the antifungal activity of selected essential oils obtained from plants against both fluconazole (flu)-resistant and flu-susceptible c. albicans strains isolated from hiv positive patients with oropharyngeal candidiasis (opc). materials and methods: the essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation method from myrtus communis (my. communis)...

in order to study genotype  environment interaction (g  e) and to identify high yielding and stable genotypes, 17 safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications, at 9 research stations during four consecutive cropping seasons (2003–06) under rainfed conditions. on the basis of ammi analysis of variance, effects of genotyp...

Genotype-by-environment (GEI) analysis guides the recommendation of best-performing crop genotypes and production environments. The objective this study was to determine extent GEI on seed yield in tepary bean for genotype cultivation drought-prone Forty-five genetically diverse were evaluated under non-stressed drought-stressed conditions two seasons using a 9 × 5 alpha lattice design with thr...

This article represents the second update to the AMMI Canada Guidelines document on the use of antiviral drugs for influenza. The article aims to inform health care professionals of the increased risk for influenza in long-term care facilities due to a documented mismatch between the components chosen for this season's vaccine and currently circulating influenza strains. Adjusted recommendation...

BACKGROUND: Chicken meat is susceptible to microbial and chemical contamination and using antimicrobial agents helps to prolong its shelf-life. OBJECTIVES: This study focuses on the effect of chitosan-based coating and Trachyspermum ammi essential oil on qualitative properties of refrigerated chicken fillet meat. MATERIAL and METHODS: chicken fillets treated with chitosan solution (2 %wv-1) and...
