present survey studies intensity of heavy metals pollution (ca, fe, ni, cd, pb, zn, as, hg) in the sediments of bamdezh wetland. the main objective of the study is to quantify heavy metal pollution intensity in the wetland. other objectives of the study are separation of natural and anthropogenic heavy metal pollution and identification of the origin of heavy metals. results of this study shows...

biogeochemical investigation on s. orientalis, a flora growing on the soils derived from serpentinized dunite in the forumad area, sabzevar ophiolite has been conducted in order to examine the plant-soil relationship in chromite prospecting. due to engagement of cr in the chromite crystal structure and its non-essential role in the plant’s life cycle, ni was used as pathfinder element in biogeo...

Measurements of Pb, Cu, Zn, As, Ni, Hg, and Fe heavy metals and major elements and components such as Ca, HCO3, SO4, Na, K, Mg and Cl in soluble rain fractions were performed on rainwater collected at Arak plain during the rainy seasons of 2012. Concentrations of the heavy metals in the soluble fractions decreased for Fe, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu, As and Hg, respectively and the major elements and compon...

The molecular dialogue occurring prior to direct contact between the fungal and plant partners of arbuscular-mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses begins with the release of fungal elicitors, so far only partially identified chemically, which can activate specific signaling pathways in the host plant. We show here that the activation of MAPK is also induced by exudates of germinating spores of Gigaspora m...
