drought is one of the important environmental stresses that reduce the crop growth. oxidative stress is a secondary stress due to drought and other abiotic stresses. in order to study the effect of exogenous application of hydrogen peroxide on drought tolerance of glob amaranth (gomphrena globosa l.), an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions. this study was designed as factorial bas...

salinity is one of the environmental stresses that have limited influence on the crop growth. oxidative process is a secondary stress due to salinity. oregano is enumerated as one of the most important of medicinal plant that its production and development is possible in iran. in order to study the effect of exogenous application of hydrogen peroxide on salt tolerance in oregano (origanum major...

To explore the possibility of using graphene based biosensor, adsorption of hydrogen peroxide on graphene has been investigated using density functional theory. The electronic properties of defect free and defective graphene in the presence of different number of hydrogen peroxide have been studied. The graphene with the most stable configuration defect named as SW defect is considered. The hig...

two groups of olive cultivars were characterized as showing low (tokhmkabki) and high (roghani) rooting percentage after application of iba treatment. semi-hard wood cuttings were dipped in h 2 2 o 2 (0-3.5% w/v) and iba (4000 mg.l -1 ) and also they were investigated in combination. h 2 o 2 alone did not stimulate rooting of olive cuttings and there were no significant differences between this...

The superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes are important antioxidant agents that protect cells from reactive oxygen species. The SOD family is responsible for catalyzing the disproportionation of superoxide radical to oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. Manganese- and iron-containing SOD exhibit product inhibition whereas Cu/ZnSOD does not. Here, we report the crystal structure of Escherichia coli MnSOD ...

Atmospheric photochemical oxidants nitric acid, ozone, and hydrogen peroxide were monitored in ambient air at Mt Mitchell State Park, North Carolina. Ozone measurements made from May to September during 1986-1990 are reported for two high-elevation sites (Site I on Mt Gibbs, approximately 2006 m; and Site 2 on Commissary Ridge, approximately 1760 m). These measurements are also compared to thos...

The overproduction of hydrogen peroxide is implicated in the development of numerous diseases and there is currently great interest in developing contrast agents that can image hydrogen peroxide in vivo. In this report, we demonstrate that nanoparticles formulated from peroxalate esters and fluorescent dyes can image hydrogen peroxide in vivo with high specificity and sensitivity. The peroxalat...

AIMS To evaluate the effects of hydrogen peroxide exposure on the survival and proliferation of cultured lens epithelial cells. METHODS TOTL-86 cells, a line of rabbit lens epithelial cells, were used. The survival and proliferation of TOTL-86 cells were quantified by a rapid colorimetric assay (MTT assay). To determine the effects of hydrogen peroxide, TOTL-86 cells were exposed to different...

Honey and hydrogen peroxide are effective antibacterial agents. The antibacterial activity of honey is mainly attributed to hydrogen peroxide generation that is produced in the honey by the activity of the glucose oxidase (GOX) enzyme. Ziziphus Spina Christi and Acacia spp. honey samples were collected for the study. Hydrogen peroxide was measured using a sensitive enzymatic/colorimetric assay....
