in this study, antioxidant and antimicrobial potentials of usnea intermedia, u. filipendula, and u. fulvoreagens and their stictic and usnic acid contents were investigated. antioxidant activity and total phenolic contents were evaluated in acetone, ethanol, and methanol extracts of these three species. antioxidant activity was measured by abts [2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulp...

High-throughput transcriptome provides an unbiased approach for understanding the genetic basis and gene functions in response to different conditions. Here we sequenced RNA-seq libraries derived from a Bombax ceiba L. system under a controlled experiment. As a known medicinal and ornamental plant, B. ceiba grows mainly in hot-dry monsoon rainforests in Southeast Asia and Australia. Due to the ...

In recent years, a wide range of different methods to implant nanosized patterns on surfaces have been developed. Spin coating immiscible binary polymer blends is a straightforward method to prepare micro- and nanostructures on thin films. This study utilizes binary blends to effortlessly prepare stable, surface-functionalized cellulose films. Blends of trimethylsilyl cellulose (TMSC) majority ...

abstract balanced nutrition and soil organic mater are among most important factors affecting yield and quality of grape (vitis vinifera cv.peykani). humic acid as an organic acid derived from humus and other organic sources, in accompany with zinc, and acetic acid can reduce deficiency symptoms in grape. to study the effects of zinc, humic acid and acetic acid on yield and yield components, an...

developing simple, sensitive and selective sensing systems for dopamine is important due to its biological significance. in this work, a silver nanoparticles-modified carbon paste electrode (agnps-cpe) has been constructed and used to detect of dopamine (da) in the simultaneous presence of ascorbic acid (aa) and uric acid (ua) at neutral ph 7.0 by cyclic voltammetry. the modified electrode show...

nano silica sulfuric acid as a solid acid, was described to be an effective catalyst for one-pot three-component reaction of kojic acid, aryl aldehydes and indoles for the preparation of 2-substituted aryl (indolyl) kojic acid derivatives. the catalyst was prepared by combination of chlorosulfonic acid to nano silica gel. the size of nanoparticles were observed with sem.all prepared compounds w...
