The leaf extracts of Gymnema sylvestre consist secondary metabolites which are well known for antioxidant activity. This study aimed to measure the drying characteristics G. leaves under far-infrared radiation (FIR) and optimize specific energy consumption activity ethanol-water extract dried leaves. Fresh were harvested exposed combinations four different temperatures (125, 150, 175 200 °C) ex...

BACKGROUND Fresh or frozen nonvascularized osteotendinous joint allografts (OTJA) have not been used previously, clinically or experimentally, for metacarpophalangeal joint reconstruction. Therefore, we evaluated the viability of OTJA for metatarsophalangeal joint (MTJ) reconstruction in rats. METHODS In the experimental group of 12 Lewis rats, we reconstructed the MTJ of the third digit of t...

The presence of insecticide in the environment, due to extensive use in agriculture is of potential toxicological concern for fish. Histotoxicological studies have been widely used as biomarkes in the evaluation of the health of fish exposed to the pesticides studies. In the present study the hazardous effect of the organophosphate insecticide, Fenitrothion on the histology of the fresh water f...

in other to evaluation of morphological and phenological traits of 24 populations, from four species chamomile of the genus of anthemis, an experiment were carried out using randomized completely blocks design (rcbd) in three replications in alborz research station in karaj, iran during 2011-12. 13 traits including: length and width of canopy diameter, plant height, number of flower, shoot fres...

Morphological, physiological and molecular changes were investigated in in vitro salt-stressed barley (Hordeum vulgare L. cv. Tokak). Mature embryos were cultured in Murashige and Skoog medium containing 0 (control), 50 and 100 mM NaCl for 20 days. Both concentrations inhibited shoot growth, decreased fresh weight and protein content, and increased SOD (EC 1.15.1.1) activity in a dose-dependent...

Drought cause yield loss of soybean production is the major reason to yield losing of soybean. To improve the germination and growth of soybean seeds under drought stress; We studied the effect of the single walled carbon nanotubes (SwCNTs) material in seed germination and the physiological changes occurred under drought condition, performed SwCNTs treatments in soybean (Zhonghuang 35) seeds at...

It has been proposed that abscisic acid (ABA) may stimulate sucrose transport into filling seeds of legumes, potentially regulating seed growth rate. The objective of this study was to determine whether the rate of dry matter accumulation in seeds of soybeans (Glycine max L.) is correlated with the endogenous levels of ABA and sucrose in those sinks. The levels of ABA and sucrose in seed tissue...

The relevance of deionized water as a control treatment in vase life experiments and the effects of major tap water components on cut flower water balance were investigated. Chrysanthemum (Dendranthema x grandiflorum Tzvelev cv. Cassa) was used in all experiments. Deionized water gave a sharp decrease in fresh weight of the cut flowers after 1–3 days. This decrease was absent in tap water. Afte...

<abstract> <p>Fresh-cut mangosteen is a minimally processed product that currently popular due to the requirement for fresh produce, quality, convenience, and minimal preparation. The process of skin removal causes fast deterioration in fresh-cut mangosteen. nano edible coating aloe vera gel or nano-ecogel can be applied delay physicochemical changes This study intended determine ef...
