The accumulation of heavy metals Pb and Cd in the mangrove, Avicennia marina, was studied on the southern coast of Iran, particularly on and near Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf. The samples were collected from 7 stations which they were analyzed by flame Atomic absorption spectrophotometer after chemical digestion. Maximum Pb and Cd in leaves are (34.50, 3.52 ppm) and minimum of th...

Abstract The aim of study was to determine any anticancer potential from Avicennia marina leaf extract compare taurine on cytotoxic and anti-proliferation activities against HeLa cervical cancer cell line by using the MTT method (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl))-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide). results indicated that methanol extraction A. as well did have effects with IC50 values 321 ppm 603 1...

Foliar water uptake (FWU) is a mechanism that enables plants to acquire from the atmosphere through their leaves. As mangroves live in saline sediment environment, of FWU might be vital importance freshwater and grow. The goal this study was assess capacity six different mangrove species belonging four genera using series submersion experiments which leaf mass increase measured expressed per un...
