introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the antibacterial effect of persian green tea extract (gte) and 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (naocl) against enterococcus faecalis ( e. faecalis ) as an intracanal irrigant. methods and materials: thirty freshly extracted teeth were instrumented and sectioned into mesial and distal segments. the specimens were put into wells containing 2 ml of e. f...

Longitudinal zonation, as well as a simple and regular anatomy, are hallmarks of the root apex. Here we focus on one particular root-apex zone, the transition zone, which is located between the apical meristem and basal elongation region. This zone has a unique role as the determiner of cell fate and root growth; this is accomplished by means of the complex system of a polar auxin transport cir...

Subsurface drainage involves both intensity and capacity attributes. Intensity of subsurface drainage refers to how rapidly a root zone drains. Capacity, on the other hand, refers to the extent of excess (gravitational) water removal from the root zone. Consequently, discussions of putting green drainage often become confused since the expression improved drainage can imply improved drainage ca...

in this study, the performance of aquacrop model to predict yield production of winter wheat (roshan and gods varieties), water and solute balance of soil profile was evaluated under water and salinity stresses. field experiments were conducted with three levels of saline irrigation water including: s1, s2 and s3corresponding to 1.4, 4.5 and 9.6 ds/m, respectively, and four levels of irrigation...

In this experiment soybean seeds were pre-treated with salt tolerant isolate of Trichoderma harzianum to evaluate the different aspects of seedling growth and metabolism in response to different concentrations of NaCl. Trichoderma isolate was more effective in improving dry weight and root volume of seedlings during mild salt stress. Seedlings obtained from bioprimed seeds had significantly hig...

Madder (Rubina tinctorum L.) is mainly cultivated in central part of I.R. of Iran that is an arid and desert area with scarce and saline water resources. Its root is used as herbal medicine and food additives and its shoot (top) is used as forage crop. However, little is known about its salinity tolerance and soil water limits for growth. The objectives of the present study were to investigate ...
