Optimum concentrations of nitrogen and potassium on in vitro microtuberization of Agria, a popular variety of Potato, Solanum tuberosum L., were evaluated. The concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 folds of standard concentrations of NH4NO3 (1650 mgl) and KNO3 (1900 mgl) were used in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, and their effects were studied on cell number, cell sizes, and number of amid...

This study was accomplished to examine the efficiency of natural zeolite in preventing acute toxicity of total ammonia to Huso huso. The study was performed using Water Static Method in 96 hours. Fish averaged 46 ? 5 g in weight and 22 ? 4 cm in total length were exposed to four different concentrations (15, 30, 50, 75 mgL-1) of ammonia and a group was considered as control. Under stable condit...

Mrs. Gerber’s Lemma (MGL) hinges on the convexity of H(p ∗ H(u)), where H(u) is the binary entropy function. In this work, we prove thatH(p∗f(u)) is convex in u for every p ∈ [0, 1] provided H(f(u)) is convex in u, where f(u) : (a, b) → [0, 1 2 ]. Moreover, our result subsumes MGL and simplifies the original proof. We show that the generalized MGL can be applied in binary broadcast channel to s...

leaf and root explants from 10 to 20 day– old seedlings of plantago lanceolata, were cultured on ms, msh, nt and b5 basal media with various concentrations of different plant growth regulators. the best callus induction was obtained with 0.4 mgl-1 2,4-d in msh i with 400 callus index. callus growth was significantly stimulated (p=0.05)with 0.8 mgl-1 2,4-d and 0.1 mgl-1 kin in msh ii, with 7...

The endocannabinoids (eCBs) anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG) are inactivated by a two-step mechanism. First, they are carried into cells, and then anandamide is hydrolyzed by fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) and 2-AG by monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL). Here we provide evidence for a previously undescribed MGL activity expressed by microglial cells. We found that the mouse microglial...

Dog rose (Rosa canina L.) is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal plants which are used as a rootstock for ornamental roses such as Rosa hybrid and Rosa floribunda. In vitro propagation of rose has a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and in production of healthy and d...

The endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids) are lipid molecules that may mediate retrograde signaling at central synapses and other forms of short-range neuronal communication. The monoglyceride 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) meets several criteria of an endocannabinoid substance: (i) it activates cannabinoid receptors; (ii) it is produced by neurons in an activity-dependent manner; and (iii)...

In order to evaluate the effect of medium and spraying calcium nano-fertilizer on quality of cut gerbera flowers, an experiment was conducted as factorial in completely randomized design with 7 media and 3 calcium nano-fertilizer concentrations with 3 replications. The media included cocopeat + perlite (1:1), peat moss + perlite (1:1), mushroom compost + perlite (1:1), peat moss + cocopeat + pe...

Background & Aim: Lemon verbena (Lippia citriodora H.B.K.) is a richly scented herb and has a long history as a sacred and medicinal plant. Select an appropriate medium in tissue culture is a necessity for success Experimental: To evaluate the effect of 10 medium of previous researches for Lippia micropropagation (1- MS medium supplemented with BAP (3 mgL-1) + IBA ...
