The present study was designed to highlight the impact of seed priming with polyethylene glycol on physiological and molecular mechanism of two cultivars of Oryza sativa L. under different levels of zinc oxide nanorods (0, 250, 500 and 750 mg L(-1)). Plant growth parameters were significantly increased in seed priming with 30% PEG under nano-ZnO stress in both cultivars. Whereas, this increase ...

This work aimed to characterize the re-induction of desiccation tolerance (DT) in germinated seeds, using polyethylene glycol (PEG 8000). Cell changes were investigated through cytological assays (cell viability and transmission electronic microscopy) as well as DNA integrity during loss and re-establishment of DT. The loss of DT was characterized by drying germinated seeds with different radic...

Amaç: Bu çalışma, domates genetik kaynaklarının kuraklık stresine karşı hızlı taranması için PEG-6000'in neden olduğu stresinin uygunluğunu belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Materyal ve Yöntem: Çalışmada, kurağa toleransı yüksek (M28) düşük (Alyans) bilinen iki çeşit test edilmiştir. Çimlendirme testinde farklı PEG konsantrasyonu (%4 %6) denenmiştir. Fide aşamasındaki su kültürü tekniği ile gerç...

Doxazosin mesylate (DXM) sustained release pellets were prepared by an extrusion-spheronization and fluid-bed coating technique. The core pellets containing DXM were prepared by extrusion-spheronization technique, and coated by a fluid-bed coater to control the release of DXM. The factors affecting to properties of pellets, such as diluent content, type and coating level of coating agents and p...

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) can be used to mimic osmotic stress in plant tissue cultures to study mechanisms of tolerance. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effects of PEG (M.W. 6000) on embryogenic callus of Medicago truncatula. Leaf explants were cultured on MS medium with 2 mg L-1 NAA and 0.5 mg L-1 BAP for 5 months. Then, calli were transferred to the same medium further suppl...

The present work aimed to evaluate the osmotic conditioning and shading on the germination and on the initial growth of aroeira seedlings. The seeds were pre-imbibed in solutions with different concentrations of PEG (polyethylene glycol) and KNO3 and incubated at 10°C and 20°C temperatures, during 0 (control), 12 and 24 hours. After these periods, the seeds were dried until they reached the ini...

Objective: The study aimed to solubilization of imidazole drugs of interest; ketoconazole (KT) and miconazole nitrate (MN), for enhancement of the water solubility, the dissolution properties and the antimycotic activity of these drugs. Method: Different solid dispersion methods were used to prepare various dispersion systems of KT and MN using polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG 4000), polyethylene ...

drought and salinity are two important environmental stresses limiting the crop production. in order to study the influence of drought and salinity stresses on germination characteristics of marshmallow plant seeds, two separate experiments were conducted based on completely randomized design with four replications in controlled conditions. drought stress levels were 0, -2, -4, -6 and -8 bar in...

in order to study the effect of on-farm seed priming and two bio-fertilizers on emergence and yield characteristics of chickpea, a factorial experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design in hamedan with three replications in 2013. the factors consisted of phosphate fertilizer (0, 50 and 100 percent of recommended) bio-fertilizer (mycorrhizae, barvar2, both of them and no-applic...
