bean yellow mosaic virus (bymv, potyvirus, potyviridae) causes serious disease in gladiolus spp. in this work, the possibility of obtaining bymv free plant material from virus infected gladiolus corms was studied. thermotherapy, meristem-tip culture and combination of both techniques on infected corms/meristem-tip explants (0.5–1 mm in length) resulted in bymv elimination up to 15.38, 78.04 and...

CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) were previously shown by us to be more potent bactericides than CO gas. This suggests a mechanism of action for CO-RM, which either potentiates the activity of CO or uses another CO-RM-specific effect. We have also reported that CORM-2 induces the expression of genes related to oxidative stress. In the present study we intend to establish whether the generation o...

in order to investigate the effects of corm tunic, corm weight and drought stress on saffron (crocus sativus l.), an experiment was conducted at the greenhouse of ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. treatment were combination of four corm weights range (2-4, 4-6, 6-8 and 8-10 g), two levels of water availability (100% field capacity and drought) and two levels of corm tunic (natural corm with...

OBJECTIVE We compared the antithrombotic effects in vivo of 2 chemically different carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORM-A1 and CORM-3) on arterial and venous thrombus formation and on hemostatic parameters such as platelet activation, coagulation, and fibrinolysis. The hypotensive response to CORMs and their effects on whole blood gas analysis and blood cell count were also examined. MET...

Carbon monoxide, a classical respiratory inhibitor, also exerts vasodilatory, antiinflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects. COreleasing molecules (CO-RMs) have therapeutic value, increasing phagocytosis and reducing sepsis-induced lethality. Here we identify for the first time the bacterial targets of CORM-3, Ru(CO)3Cl(glycinate), a ruthenium-based carbonyl that liberates CO rapidly under physio...

abstract in order to investigate the effect of biofertilizer, chemical fertilizer and plant density on yield and corm criteria of saffron, an experiment was conducted as complete randomized block design in a factorial arrangement with three replications under field condition in agricultural college, ferdowsi university of mashhad during 3 years of 2007,2008,2009. treatments included nitroxin bi...

CO-releasing molecules have therapeutic value, increasing phagocytosis and reducing sepsis-induced lethality. Here we identify for the first time the bacterial targets of Ru(CO)(3)Cl(glycinate) (CORM-3), a ruthenium-based carbonyl that liberates CO rapidly under physiologi...

Little is known about how production practices influence taro (Colocasia esculenta) corm density. This study was conducted to determine the effects soil type and harvest age have on corm density. Niue taro variety was grown on 3 soil types on Tutuila, American Samoa, and harvested 6, 7, 8, and 9 months after planting. Corm densities were measured using a double-weighing method: weighting the co...

Carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) are intensively studied to provide cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of CO in inflammatory conditions including intestinal inflammation. The water-soluble CORM-A1 reduced apoptosis and NADPH oxidase (NOX)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α/cycloheximide (CHX) in mouse MODE-K intestinal epith...

OBJECTIVE Carbon monoxide-releasing molecules (CORMs) represent a pharmacological alternative to CO gas inhalation. Here, we questioned whether CORM-3, a well-characterized water-soluble CORM, could prevent and reverse pulmonary hypertension (PH) in chronically hypoxic mice and in smooth muscle promoter 22 serotonin transporter mice overexpressing the serotonin transporter in smooth muscle cell...
