Background: Biotechnologic methods are common for secondary metabolites production from the plants and other sources in pharmaceutical sciences. Hairy root cell lines as the biotechnologic method have been used for in vitro production of major plant metabolites. Objective: In this study, hairy roots of Hypericum Perforatum have been prepared using the seeds and bio transformed by bacteria. Fin...

plants are the important sources of drugs. secondary metabolites are responsible for therapeutic propertiesin plants. three compounds including (-)-hyoscyamine, its racemate atropine, and scopolamine (hyoscine) are the most famous tropane alkaloids in the solanaceae familly. nowadays, attempts to developthese alkaloids in biotechnological procedures which are principally based on the hairy root...

determination of the thickness of a mountains glacier like alamkooh is very difficult due to its extremely cold climate conditions and high elevation, risk of falling large snow segments or balls and coarse topography of the glacier. in this research, due to the transparency of ice for electromagnetic (em) waves, and also, that ground penetrating radar (gpr) method is non-destructive, fast and ...

Several species of plant parasitic nematodes have been encountered in soils of different tea-growing areas of the world. Roots and soil were sampled for the presence of plant-parasitic nematodes from tea plantations in Kusuku, the only major tea growing location in Nigeria. Six genera of plant-parasitic nematodes were recovered from the rhizosphere soil. Meloidogyne spp. Pratylenchus coffeae an...

The (-)-hyoscyamine, atropine and scopolamine (hyoscine) are three valuable tropane alkaloids while scopolamine is the most important member of this group for the pharmaceutical industry due to its higher demand compared to hyoscyamine and atropine. Scopolamine is an anticholinergic reagent with several therapeutic applications. In the current study, the hairy roots culture of Daturametel was u...

Calorific values of plants are important indices for evaluating and reflecting material cycle and energy conversion in forest ecosystems. Based on the data of Masson Pine (Pinus massoniana) in southern China, the calorific values (CVs) and ash contents (ACs) of different plant organs were analyzed systematically using hypothesis test and regression analysis in this paper. The results show: (i) ...

SUMMARY We propose a two scale asymptotic method to compute the effective effect of a free surface topography varying much faster than the minimum wavelength for 2-D P-SV elastic wave propagation. The topography variation is assumed to be non-periodic but with a de-terministic description and, in the present paper, the elastic body below the topography is assumed to be homogeneous. Two asymptot...

The Nahal Yael basin is underlain chiefly by schist, amphibolite, and granite. Thin (generally < 1 m thick), grussy colluvium which covered the lower portions of granitic hillslopes in the late Pleistocene has now been stripped completely, causing marked contrasts in outcrop morphologies, even where there is no contrast of fracture density or petrologic characteristics. Formerly mantled slopes ...
