There are some plants can replaced grass among cover plants. Cover plants are obvious solution of problem in these places that the most important plant is Frankinia and Lisimakia etc. The aim of this study is to use organic wastes, biological fertilizers and moisture super absorbents in the growth media of Frankinia to increase water holding capacity, delay in permane...

In micropropagation of lily, preferably bulblets should be produced: Because bulblets are compact and robust, they are much easier to handle and to plant in soil than shoots. In this review, the various factors that determine bulblet growth in vitro are discussed. Gibberellins, jasmonates (JA) and abscisic acid (ABA) are the major identified plant growth regulators (PGRs) for storage organ form...

background: this study was conducted to evaluate fibroblast co-culture and activin a on in vitro maturation and fertilization of mouse preantral follicles. methods: the ovaries from 12-14-day-old mice were dissected, and 120-150 μm preantral follicles were cultured individually in α-mem as based medium for 12 days. a total number of 456 follicles were cultured in four conditions: (i) base mediu...

background and objectives: diagnosis of avian tuberculosis by conventional culture method is still considered as the “gold standard” technique. the main objective of this study was to compare growth of mycobacterium avium subsp. avium on four specific mycobacterial cultures such as glycerinated lowenstein-jensen medium, pyruvate-enriched lowenstein- jensen medium, mycobactin j-supplemented herr...

Objective: Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) seed oil mainly consists of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Previously, it was reported that oral administration of pumpkin seed oil (PSO) improved hair growth in male pattern alopecia. This study aimed to evalua...

Cells of Saccharomyces rouxii (a salt-tolerant yeast) were grown in the presence of two levels of NaCI, 0 and 15%. Mannans obtained from both the cell walls and culture filtrates (extracellular) were examined. Yields based on the dry weight of cells demonstrated that the levels of both cell wall and extracellular mannans were lower when cells were grown in the presence of 15% NaCI. However, the...

A new medium has been developed for selectively isolating strains of Rhizobium from soil.

Crystal growth has been widely studied for many years, and, since the pioneering work of Burton, Cabrera and Frank, spirals and target patterns on the crystal surface have been understood as forms of tangential crystal growth mediated by defects and by two-dimensional nucleation. Similar spirals and target patterns are ubiquitous in physical systems describable as excitable media. Here, we demo...

A medium containing heart infusion agar supplemented with bile salts, lithium chloride, sodium thiosulfate, and sodium citrate was developed for the selective growth of Proteus.
