Hydroponic system is a method of growing crops or plants in soilless system, by suspending the plant nutrient-rich solution, with reduced interferences from such factors as soil quality, irrigation and climate. However, there limited information available on how hydroponic planting will affect plant’s bioactivities, well associated biochemical, mineral, phytochemical antioxidant enzyme conten...

Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) has witnessed a resurge of interest in the last decade, motivated by substantial progress hardware capabilities and development specifically tailored packing materials. Meanwhile, technique been transitioning to use mobile phases which an organic co-solvent is mixed carbon dioxide under subcritical conditions (subFC). The phase modifier will also affect ...

Biostimulants are substances able to improve water and nutrient use efficiency and counteract stress factors by enhancing primary and secondary metabolism. Premise of the work was to exploit raw extracts from leaves (LE) or flowers (FE) of Borago officinalis L., to enhance yield and quality of Lactuca sativa 'Longifolia,' and to set up a protocol to assess their effects. To this aim, an integra...

experiment was conducted as split plot in a randomized complete block design with three replications in kermanshah to shed lights on economic analysis of deficit irrigation and integrated application of biological and chemical fertilizer son cultivation of medicinal plant borage (borago officinalis l). irrigation tritments include: a) 30% less water than crop requires invegetative, b) inreprodu...

  Background: Although borage ( Borago officinalis L.) is a valuable medicinal plant, no information is available on the responses of this plant to salinity.
