Seedling recruitment of Dalmatian toadflax, (Linaria genistifolia ssp. dalmatica (L.) Maire and Petitmengin (Scrophulariaceae)), was examined in a 2-year field study in Montana using overseeding and plant/insect exclusion methods, to determine whether it was more limited by seed availability or interspecific plant competition. Overseeding test plots with toadflax seed had no effect on seedling ...

Karlsson. A. 1996. Site vrevaration of abandoned fields and earlv establishment of naturallv and direct-seeded birch in Sweden. Studia Forestalia Suecica 199, 25 pp. ISSN 0039-3150, ~ S B N 91-576-5152-3. Field experiments were carried out at four sites in Sweden to investigate the possibility of establishing downy birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.) and silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) on abandon...

In plants encouraged by the proliferation of seed, seed to plant survival factor to maintain the role is very vital and important. In order to evaluate different size effect's on the quality seedling production during germination in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), this experiment was conducted in 2011 at Laboratory Sciences, Islamic Azad University Shahr-e-Qods Branch by a completely randomized d...

Globally, seagrass beds have been recognized as critical yet declining coastal habitats. To mitigate seagrass losses, seagrass restorations have been conducted in worldwide over the past two decades. Seed utilization is considered to be an important approach in seagrass restoration efforts. In this study, we investigated the effects of salinity and temperature on seed germination, seedling esta...

Although the chemical composition and biological properties of some species of the genus Pistacia has been investigated, studies on hull essential oil of Pistacia vera L. variety Bronte (HEO) are currently lacking. In this work, we have carried out an in-depth phytochemical profile elucidation by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis, and an evaluation of antioxidant scavenging ...

Principal component analysis (PCA) multivariate analysis was applied to study the cytotoxic activity of essential oils from various species of the Pistacia genus on human tumor cell lines. In particular, the cytotoxic activity of essential oils obtained from P. lentiscus, P. lentiscus var. chia (mastic gum), P. terebinthus, P. vera, and P. integerrima, was screened on three human adenocarcinoma...

background and objective: changes of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase are involved in pathogenesis of different nervous disorders including alzheimer’s disease. this research work was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of pistacia lentiscus ethanolic extract on acetylcholinesterase activity. materials and methods: activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (ache) was measured by ellman...

Background and Objective: Changes of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase are involved in pathogenesis of different nervous disorders including Alzheimer’s disease. This research work was conducted to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Pistacia lentiscus ethanolic extract on acetylcholinesterase activity. Materials and Methods: Activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was measured by Ellman...
