background & aim: considering that antioxidants are known as effective free radicals scavenger, it may be able to improve the in vitro oocyte maturation and the fetal quality. this study was designed to determine the effect of gundelia tournefortii leaves (gte) hydro-alcoholic extract as a source of antioxidant on in vitro oocyte maturation. experimental: germinal vasicle (gv) were recovere...

background & aim: oocytes in vitro maturation is an enormously promising technology for the treatment of infertility, yet its clinical application remains limited owing to poor success rates. therefore this study was designed to determine the effect of gundelia tournefortii root hydro alcoholic extract as a source of antioxidant on in vitro oocyte maturation. experimental: in this study, th...

interactive effect of plant growth regulators6-benzylaminopurine (bap) (0, 2, 4 and 8 µm) and1-naphtalene acetic acid (naa) (0, 0.05, 0.25 and 0.5µm) in van der salm (vs) medium was used to optimize in vitro propagation of rosa hybrida cv. iceberg.shoot proliferation and number of new leaves weremeasured as growth indicators. as the concentrationof bap was raised, growth rate increased with all...

the effects of pre-treating different types of roughages with alkali on the efficacy of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes for improving their digestibility were studied in vitroin factorial arrangement 4 × 3 × 5 (enzyme, treatment and roughage types). two fibrolytic feed enzymes novozyme (n) and celloclast (c) their combination (n+c) were evaluated for their potential to improve in vitrodegradation ...

introduction & aim: the ethanol and aqueous extracts of alhagi camelorum fisch. (fabaceae) whole plant, scrophularia desertii del. (scrophulariaceae) whole plant and ethanol extracts of echinophora platyloba dc. (apiaceae) whole plant, teucrium polium l. (lamiaceae) whole plant and berberis integerrima bunge root brake were investigated for anti-brucella in-vitro and in-vivo conditions. exp...

the aim of this study was to assess the effect of several doses of spearmint essential oil (seo; 0, 250, 500, 750 or 1,000 µg ml-1 buffered rumen fluid) on the fermentation kinetic and digestibility using in vitro gas production technique. a total mixed ration (30% roughage: 70% concentrate) was incubated with buffered rumen fluid. in vitro gas production, asymptotic gas production (a), rate of...

salt stress negatively impacts crops yield throughout the world. nine varieties of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) were screened for salt stress tolerance by measuring in-vitro growth of the aerial plant parts, as well as roots. salt stress was evaluated by adding 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm of nacl to murashige- skoog (ms) medium and compared to ms medium without nacl. plant length and ...
