The present study was based on the hypothesis that Boron (B) induces changes of other micronutrients in soil-plant systems. A preliminary study was carried out in sand culture growing radish (cv. French breakfast) as a test crop, under green house conditions. The experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design and replicated three times. Boron was applied at the rate of 0, 0.25, 0...

Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) is an important annual or biennial root vegetable crop. The fleshy taproot comprises the main edible portion of the plant with high nutrition and medical value. Molecular biology study of radish begun rather later, and lacks sufficient transcriptomic and genomic data in pubic databases for understanding of the molecular mechanism during the radish taproot formation....

The carbohydrate moieties of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) are essential for their physiological functions and undergo rapid turnover in vivo. Degradation of the carbohydrate moieties of AGPs seems to occur by concerted action of several glycosidases, among them a-L-arabinofuranosidase, b-Dgalactosidase, and b-D-glucuronidase. Here, a bifunctional a-L-arabinofuranosidase/b-D-xylosidase from i...

Tuberose is one of the most important aromatic cut flower among ornamental plants that its growth and quality is influenced by the type and percentage of mineral compounds in the substrate. This study was carried out on the basis of a randomized complete design to explore the impact of feldspar, talc, dolomite and tuff minerals at the rate of 10, 20 and 40% incorporated with garden soil and man...

There are many potential risks to human health from heavy metal contamination of vegetables resulting from wastewater irrigated sites. This study was carried out to assess the concentration of chromium (Cr) and the risk to human health by chromium through the intake of locally grown vegetables collected from wastewater irrigated agricultural fields. Twenty-seven samples of 9 (nine) different ty...

Abstract Radish downy mildew (DM) caused by the oomycete Hyaloperonospora brassicae f. sp. raphani is a serious problem in radish crop, an edible root vegetable of Brassicaceae family. The objective this research was to assess germplasm for DM resistance and evaluate response different organs disease under controlled conditions. Forty-four accessions were inoculated at cotyledons true-leaves wi...

Holman J.: Absorption of the Horse-radish Peroxidase in the Small Intestine of Chicken. Acta vet. Brno, 47, 1978: 3-6. Localization of the horse-radish peroxidase was studied in the epithelium and stroma of the small intestitlal villi in the chic:, aged 37 days. The enzyme (molecular weight 40.000) was injected into the ligated jejunal loop. Its enteral absorption was shown to proceed via the s...

A review of findings shows that Persian gardens have attracted a wide area of interests between psychologists and environment designers. The main reasons behind the attraction of Persian gardens are natural content and particular landscape configuration. To study these features, overall organization examination is employed according to psychological pattern. One of the impressive psychological ...
