Alzheimer's disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with many cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms is biochemically characterized by a significant decrease in the brain neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). Plant-derived metabolites, including alkaloids have been reported to possess neuroprotective properties and are considered to be safe, thus have potential for developing ef...

Injection of 0-5 % colchicine into immature tillers of genotypes of Triticum aestivum, T. aestivum x Aegilops mutica and T. aestivum x Secale cereale hybrids induces asynapsis at first meiotic metaphase irrespective of the homologous or homoeologous nature of the potential pairing chromosomes. The induction of asynapsis occurs at a time during and immediately following the last premeiotic mitos...

Pistacia atlantica (wild pistachio) belongs to the Anacardiaceae family, and growing from Mediterranean basin central Asia, especially in Iran, Turkey, Iraq Saudi Arabia where it is extensively used traditional medicine for a wide range of ailments related relieving upper abdominal discomfort pain, dyspepsia peptic ulcer. Despite diverse biological activities P. atlantica, there no current revi...

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the freezing damage in some pistachio rootstocks by ion leakage and pH changes of leaked solution. A factorial experiment was carried out in randomized block designs (RBD) with three factors: Temperature (A) including 4 ̊C, 0 ̊C, -2 ̊C, -4 ̊C, -6 ̊C, Time (B) including 3, 12, 24h , and Rootstock (C) including P. vera cv 'Badami Zarand' (V13) and 'Sar...

Excessive use of detergents in wide industrial processes results unwanted surfactant pollution. Among them, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) has well-known history to be used pharmaceutical and applications. However, if discharged without treatment, it can cause toxic effects on living organisms especially the aquatic life. Floating treatment wetlands (FTWs) could a cost-effective eco-friendly opt...

The marina properties, such as; salinity range, tidal fluctuations, depth, and ascidian presence in-fluence the distribution of invasive non-natives. Transport vectors, aquaculture fishery practic-es also have an important role in non-native species during bioinva-sion process. We focused on 10 marine invertebrates UK. This study explained ecology five (Styela clava (As-cidia), Didemnum vexillu...
