It has been suggested that proteins act as primers for the synthesis of polysaccharides in general [ 11 and for plant-cellwall polysaccharides in particular 121. These primer proteins might anchor nascent matrix polysxcharides to the membrane during their passage through the endomembrane system from the Golgi apparatus to the cell wall 131. In this paper we give e v i d e n c e f o r a p r o t ...

The purpose in this research was to study the effects of Vermicompost and poultry manure on yield and yield components of the medicinal plant coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) in the Shahr-e- Ghods region. A factorial experiment using the randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted in the Islamic Azad University of Shahr-e- Ghods. The first factor was three levels of ...

Endophytic bacteria were isolated from stems of Eucalyptus spp (Eucalyptus citriodora, E. grandis, E. urophylla, E. camaldulensis, E. torelliana, E. pellita, and a hybrid of E. grandis and E. urophylla) cultivated at two sites; they were characterized by RAPD and amplified rDNA restriction analysis (ARDRA). Endophytic bacteria were more frequently isolated from E. grandis and E. pellita. The 76...

Certain decorative indoor-plant cultivars are derived from toxic wild plant species. Native members of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge) contain highly irritating and tumor-promoting diterpene esters. Plant breeders and gardeners are constantly searching for less toxic cultivars of the popular Euphorbiaceae indoor plants. In this investigation, 22 commercial cultivars of Euphorbiaceae indoor plants we...

Plant hydraulic conductance (k s) is a critical control on whole-plant water use and carbon uptake and, during drought, influences whether plants survive or die. To assess long-term physiological and hydraulic responses of mature trees to water availability, we manipulated ecosystem-scale water availability from 2007 to 2013 in a piñon pine (Pinus edulis) and juniper (Juniperus monosperma) wood...

Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the cytotoxic potentials of Evolvulus alsinoides in human hepatoma HepG2 cells. Materials and Methods: HepG2 cells were treated with methanolic extract of E. alsinoides at 20, 40 and 80 µg/ml for 24 hr and cytotoxic effect was analyzed by MTT assay. The apoptosis rate was investigated by Hoechst 33342 and annexin V/propidium iodide s...
