OBJECTIVE To isolate Salmonella from curry samples and to evaluate the drug sensitivity of the food-borne Salmonella and its susceptibility to specific plant extracts. METHODS Salmonella was isolated from the curry samples by standard microbiological methods and was confirmed by biochemical tests. The antibiotic susceptibility test was conducted by disc diffusion method using commercially ava...

Visnagin (4-methoxy-7-methyl-5H-furo[3,2-g][1]-benzopyran-5-one), which is an active principle extracted from the fruits of Ammi visnaga, has been used as a treatment for low blood-pressure and blocked blood vessel contraction by inhibition of calcium influx into blood cells. However, the neuroprotective effect of visnagin was not clearly known until now. Thus, we investigated whether visnagin ...

Evaluation of Stability and Adaptability in the Selected Lines Some Iranian Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) by AMMI GGE Biplot Methods

objectives: the purpose of this study was to assay the antifungal activity of selected essential oils obtained from plants against both fluconazole (flu)-resistant and flu-susceptible c. albicans strains isolated from hiv positive patients with oropharyngeal candidiasis (opc). materials and methods: the essential oils were obtained by hydrodistillation method from myrtus communis (my. communis)...

in order to study genotype  environment interaction (g  e) and to identify high yielding and stable genotypes, 17 safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications, at 9 research stations during four consecutive cropping seasons (2003–06) under rainfed conditions. on the basis of ammi analysis of variance, effects of genotyp...

Genotype-by-environment (GEI) analysis guides the recommendation of best-performing crop genotypes and production environments. The objective this study was to determine extent GEI on seed yield in tepary bean for genotype cultivation drought-prone Forty-five genetically diverse were evaluated under non-stressed drought-stressed conditions two seasons using a 9 × 5 alpha lattice design with thr...
