the use of natural compounds to control plant pathogens lead to reduction in using fungicides. chitosan with duble effects, control pathogenic microorganisms and activate inducing defence responses, has been shown to be a reliable nontoxic material in the plant-pathogen interaction. the aim of this research was to consider the effects of chitosan and calcium chloride on decay and quality attrib...

Objective: To investigate the in vitro oxidant scavenging properties of rottlerin and to study the potential role of rottlerin on ethylene glycol induced nephrocalcinosis in rats. Methods: In vitro oxidant scavenging properties of rottlerin were studied along with its effect on in vitro calcium phosphate mineralization. For the in vivo studies, hyperoxaluria was induced by administering 0.4 % e...

to survey the effects of flooding during the reproductive growth stages of aerenchyma formation and ethylene production in soybean cultivar dpx experiment  the completely randomized factorial was in 2012 in gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources. factors examined include nutrition levels in three levels (1 - inoculated with bacteria japonicumbradyrhizobium 2 - non-inoc...

Gokshuradi Yog (GY) is a polyherbal ayurvedic formulation used traditionally for several decades in India for the treatment of urolithiasis. The aim of the present study was to determine the underlying mechanism of GY action in the management of calcium oxalate urolithiasis. The effect of Gokshuradi polyherbal aqueous extracts (GPAEs) was studied on various biochemical parameters involved in ca...

Some biological aspects of semen were investigated in the Persian sturgeon, Acipenser persicus, by determination of seminal plasma indices (ionic composition and osmolality), sperm density and their relationships with sperm motility. The osmolality of seminal plasma ranged from 42.00 to 111.00 mOsmol Kg-1. The concentrations of Sodium (Na+), Potassium (K+), Chloride (Cl-), Calcium (Ca2+) and Ma...

Watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai was a climacteric variety with high respiration rate and ethylene accumulation. Therefore the fruit matures softeness quickly during post-harvest period. Calcium chloride popularly utilized as stabilizing agent. 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) has been known to be highly effective inhibitor of reaction. This research evaluated synergistic ...

To investigate the regulatory mechanism(s) of ethylene biosynthesis in fruit, transgenic tomatoes with all known LeEIL genes suppressed were produced by RNA interference engineering. The transgenic tomato exhibited ethylene insensitivity phenotypes such as non-ripening and the lack of the triple response and petiole epinasty of seedlings even in the presence of exogenous ethylene. Transgenic fr...

this study examined the influence of pre-frying treatments and oil type on the moisture outflow and oil uptake during the frying of potato strips. the pre-treatments were 6 min blanching in a 85°c a water bath containing 0.5% calcium chloride and immersion in a 1% solution of carboxymethyl cellulose; 6 min blanching in a 85°c water bath containing 0.5% calcium chloride and immersion in a 2% sol...
