hairy root systems are formed by transforming plant tissues with the “natural genetic engineer” agrobacterium rhizogenes. in most plants such as cichorium intybus l., hairy root cultures have proven to be an efficient system for secondary metabolites production. the effect of zinc (znso4), a heavy metal, was investigated at different concentrations (0, 1, 5 and 10 mm) on some secondary metaboli...

a research was carried out so as to determine the effect of iranian green tea (igt) powder in diet on blood metabolites and carcass traits of broiler chickens. therefore, considered four treatments consisting (basic diet + igt 5g/kg feed, basic diet + igt 10g/kg feed, basic diet + igt 15g/kg feed and one control diet without additive), and three replicates (15 chicks per repeat). this study las...

background & aim: sweet basil (ocimum basilicum), a plant that is extensively cultivated in some countries, is used to enhance the flavour of salads, sauces, pasta, confectioneries and other products as both a fresh and dried herb. the effect of foliar application of jasmonic acid and reduced irrigation on essential oil yield and chemical components of two iranian landrace of basil (ocimum ...

background & aim: medicinal plants are most valuable and useful sources as productive factors of drugs. production and extraction of secondary metabolites have a huge economical importance in recent years. carvone is a compound in bunium persicum fruit and shoot and, it is one of the wide range varieties of valuable and useful secondary metabolites. due to limited crop production, using app...

The Stenotrophomonas genus shows great adaptive potential including resistance to multiple antimicrobials, opportunistic pathogenicity, and production of numerous secondary metabolites. Using long-read technology, we report the sequence of a plant-associated Stenotrophomonas strain originating from the citrus phyllosphere that displays a copper resistance phenotype.

There are many conditions where it is useful for anesthetists to have a knowledge of blood rheology.Blood rheology plays an important role in numerous clinical situations.Hemorheologic changes may significantly affect the induction and recovery times with anesthetic agents.But also, hemorheologic factors are directly or indirectly affected by many anesthetic agents or their metabolites.In this ...

In biotechnology has been concentrated to review alternative routes for the production of natural compounds. Plant cell culture systems are viable alternatives for the production of secondary metabolites that are of commercial importance in food and pharmaceutical industries. However, relatively very few cultures synthesize these compounds over extended periods in amounts comparable to those fo...
