in order to study the effect of  foliar application of zinc and iron on germination of soybaen seed under different level of irrigation, an experiment was conducted in 2009 at shahrekord agricultural research center. main factor was including of four levels of drought stress as irrigation (irrigation after 60, 80, 100 and 120 mm evaporation from class a evaporation basin) and sub factor was inc...

Zinc sulfate is an inorganic compound: the sulfate salt of zinc and a good source of zinc ions. The molecular 40 formula for zinc sulfate is ZnSO4. A graphic representation of the structure of zinc sulfate is shown in figure 1 41 (Pubchem, 2014). Zinc sulfate appears geologically as a white crumbly salt efflorescence known as “goslarite.” 42 Goslarite, the heptahydrate of zinc sulfate was first...

OBJECTIVE: The present study was performed to compare the antioxidant effect of two different doses of zinc on lipid oxidation in type 2 diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This double-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted on 60 type 2 diabetic patients in Yazd Diabetes Research Center in 2008. The subjects were randomly allocated to receive Zinc sulfate (Iran, Alhavi) either ...

an experiment was conducted to optimize consumption of zinc and evaluate of zinc effects on quantitative and qualitative traits of winter wheat under saline soil condition. it was done by three replications in randomized complete block design. the experiment had four treatments as control without zn, 40 kg.ha-1 zn as znso4, 80 kg.ha-1 zn as znso4 in soil and 120 kg.ha-1 zn as znso4 in soil. ele...

Background: Zinc is essential for nucleic acid metabolism, protein synthesis and tissue healing. Zinc deficiency has detrimental effects on child health and increases mortality rate of pneumonia and gastroenteritis. By improving absorptive function of villous cells and by reducing pathogenic enterobacteriaceae in lumen, Zinc improves diarrhea outcome in children. Previous studies in developing ...

in order to determine the effects of zinc foliar application on yield and its components single cross 704 under water stress condition, experiment was carried out at agricultural research center of varamin, in southeast of tehran, during 2007-2008. field experiment was conducted in split plot design based on randomized completely block at three replications. main plots included water stress at ...

Objective- Perturbation of the normal process of testicular descent results in the condition of cryptorchidism. Spermatogenesis is generally impaired in cryptorchid testes because of high intratesticular temperature. It seems that the main mechanisms underlying the process of spermatozoa demise is apoptosis by overgeneration of free radicals. So, the aim of the present study was to investigate ...

The vase life of cut flowers and foliage is often shortened by vascular occlusions that constrict vase solution supply. Reduction in stem conductivity is typically caused by blockage of cut stem ends and xylem conduits by microbes, physiological plugging, and disruption of water columns in xylem vessels by cavitations and air emboli. Cut flower and foliage longevity can be greatly affected by t...

The applicability of anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR) was investigated for the treatment of acidic (pH 4.5-7.0) wastewater containing sulfate (1000-2000 mg/L) and Zn (65-200mg/L) at 35 degrees C. The ABR consisted of four equal stages and lactate was supplemented (COD/SO(4)(2-)=0.67) as carbon and energy source for sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB). The robustness of the system was studied by decr...

BACKGROUND Industrial copper ingest is a common form of poisoning in animals. Zinc has an important role in the physiology of spermatozoa, in sperm production and viability. OBJECTIVE This study was set to investigate whether the adverse effects of long term copper consumption on quality of rat spermatozoa could be prevented by zinc therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty eight mature (6-8 wee...
