dog rose (rosa canina l.) is one of the most important ornamental and medicinal plants which are used as a rootstock for ornamental roses such as rosa hybrid and rosa floribunda. in vitro propagation of rose has a very important role in rapid multiplication of species with desirable traits and in production of healthy and disease-free plants. micropropagation of rosa canina l. was revised, usin...

Diffractaic acid (DA) is a naturally occurring depside derivative found in several lichen species. It has a wide range of important biological effects such as analgesic and antiviral properties, although its cytotoxic, cytogenetic and oxidative effects have not been investigated in human blood tissue yet. Therefore, increasing concentrations (1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mgL) of DA was added i...

Cucumis melo L. is one of the most economically important horticultural crops worldwide. However,   low plant regeneration frequency of this plant during genetic transformation is  the  major hurdle for  applying biotechnological approaches. Hence, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of 6-benzyladenine (BA), cefotaxime (CTX), kanamycin (KAN), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) on the regenerati...

background molecular farming is the production of important recombinant proteins in transgenic organisms on an agricultural scale. interferons are proteins with antiviral and antitumor activities and can be used for viral infections and cancers treatments. objectives this study reports the transformation of inf α2b gene in tobacco plant for the first time in iran. materials and methods interfer...

plants re-emit a substantial fraction of their assimilated carbon into the atmosphere as biogenic volatile organic compound. according to the presence of relatively high amount of methanol in herbal distillates, finding different concentrations of ethanol in such drinks is expectable, as several studies appeared that produced ethanol by plants emits into the atmosphere as do methanol. in this s...
