abstract in order to study the effect of using somaclonal variation on production of resistant lines to water deficit conditions on carrot (daucus carota l.), an experiment was carried out in department of biotechnology of all russian research institute of vegetable crops (raas) in 2008-2009. coated seeds of four carrot cultivars which are cultivated in iran including, monarch, nantes improved,...

Polyethylene glycol 6000 precipitation was found to be an effective concentration method that enhanced the chances for detecting human virus pathogens in environmental samples. Percent recoveries from eluates of fresh and estuarine waters with 8% polyethylene glycol 6000 averaged 86 for hepatitis A virus, 77 for human rotavirus Wa, 87 for simian rotavirus SA11, and 68 for poliovirus. Percent re...

This work evaluated the effect of drought stress on seedling growth, protein, soluble sugars, and phenolic compounds of two cultivars of canola (RGS003 and Sarigol). Drought stress was induced with polyethylene glycol (PEG) at 0, 5, 10, and 15%. Drought stress increased root fresh weight in both cultivars and the effect of drought was more pronounced in RGS003. Shoot fresh weight reduced in Sar...

Solid dispersions of artemether and polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG6000) were prepared in ratio 12 : 88 (group-1). Self-emulsified solid dispersions of artemether were prepared by using polyethylene glycol 6000, Cremophor-A25, olive oil, Transcutol, and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in ratio 12 : 75 : 5 : 4 : 2 : 2, respectively (group-2). In third group, only Cremophor-A25 was replaced wi...

Drought, salinization and heavy metal pollution of soils are main stress factors with an increasing impact on the deterioration soil quality, yield crop quality. Seed priming shows good results in improving seed germination, seedling growth plant development. Proline (Pro) metyl jasmonate (MeJA) show stimulating activity help plants overcome stress. The study investigated effect Pro, MeJA hydro...

to study the effects of halopriming and hydropriming in overcoming salt and drought stress in corn (zea mays l.),two experiments were separately conducted at shahrood university of technology. seed treatments consisted ofcontrol (untreated seeds), soaking in distilled water for 32 h (hydropriming), and soaking in 50 mmol solution ofcacl2 for 16 h (halopriming). germination and early seedling gr...

Priming fresh and naturally aged canola seeds with different substances observing the seed germination properties are involved in this work. Fresh of cv. “süzer” were treated distilled water, -0.8 MPa polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 50 mM thiamine for 8 hours. Storage showed loss capacity compared to seeds. Present findings indicate that priming can improve speed both canola. Germination percent...

Potassium tribromide wrapped around polyethylene glycol ({K+PEG400}Br3-) was easily prepared by two step reaction of PEG400 with KBr followed by the addition of molecular bromine to give PEG embedded potassium tribromide as a dark viscous oil. The synthesized material was found to be an efficient, cost effective, environmentally benig...

present study was conducted to investigate the effects of different osmotic potentials (0.0 mpa, -0.4 mpa, -0.8 mpa and -1.2mpa) induced by nacl and polyethylene glycol-6000(peg) as salinity and drought stress respectively on germination and early growth of two inbred lines of maize (mo17 and b73). the objective was to compare the germination ability between tow maize inbred lines in salt and d...
