in this study, rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss) eggs were treated with effective doses of  daenensis thyme, thymus daenensis (20, 10 and 5 mgl-1) and mentha, mentha longifolia (10, 5 and 2.5 mgl-1), during incubation period (20 days) until hatching for 30 minutes per every other day as constant flow bath treatment method. the mortality level in normal control (without any treatment) was sign...

The aim of this research was to overcome abortion postzygote incompatibility, and rescuing hybrid embryos early mid-ripening plum cultivars, obtained from interspecific crossing between two cultivars (P. salicina L.) as female parents with four apricot armeniaca male parents. effects cultivar, embryo developmental stage, plant growth regulators (PGRs), cold treatment, size removing seed coats w...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is a source of edible oil and fatty acids (FAs). In this study, embryos’ explants were cultured in MS medium with different concentration of  plant growth regulators (phytohormones) include BA, IAA, IBA, 2, 4- D and NAA, to finding the relationship of hormone and organogenesis with oil and FAs content. Oil was extracted with chloroform and methanol. FAs o...

An in vitro zygotic embryo germination protocol was developed for apricot (Prunus armeniaca L. “Hacıhaliloğlu”). A hundred percent of germination was obtained when isolated embryos were cultured in vitro, a result alike those reported in the literature with traditional dormancy breaking treatments. In vitro seedling development was optimal in a modified full-strength Murashige and Skoog (1962) ...

Our aim was to describe sperm parameters in residents from Northern Chile. We evaluated in 101 volunteers (18 and 30 years old) urinary and drinking water Boron levels using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry; semen parameters were measured with standardized methods. Each individual was categorized in 3 levels of exposure: low (B levels in urine ≤ 2.94 mgL1 or tap water ≤ 3.0 mgL-1), ...

The aim of this study was to identify the variation of plankton communities in the Tortum Lake. Changes in phytoplankton and zooplankton communities in relation to the abiotic environment were analyzed using multivariate analysis. Water samples were taken monthly from three sampling points of the Tortum Lake between June 2012 and May 2013. Water temperature (5.28-23.05°C), dissolved oxygen (1.5...
