The field of nanotechnology is one of the most active areas of research in modern materials science. New applications of nanoparticles and nanomaterials are emerging rapidly. Nanocrystalline silver particles have found tremendous applications in the field of high sensitivity biomolecular detection and diagnostics, antimicrobials and therapeutics, Catalysis and micro-electronics. The use of nano...

Mitoxantrone is a marker substrate of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP). BCRP involved in number pharmacokinetic drug-drug interactions. The transporter’s possible saturability makes it advisable to use low concentrations mitoxantrone for vitro studies. Consequently, quantification requires method with high sensitivity. aim the study was develop and validate procedure Caco-2 culture media...

In the present study, small segments of cotyledon, apical bud, hypocotyl, and root of 10-day-old seedlings were isolated and transferred to Murashige and Skoog (MS) base medium with different treatments of phytohormones. Two media were used for apical bud culture: MS with indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and kinetin (Kin) (1 mg/l) and the other medium, MS with double vitamin of MS and 6-benzylaminopu...

Nano-fertilizers can increase value of products in agriculture. Iron plays many important and essential roles in plant growth and development as compared to other micronutrients. In the present study, effects of different levels of enriched nano chelated Iron fertilizer (25, 50, 100, and 200 mg l-1)  were investigated in comparison with the common Iron (FeSO4.7H2O) on in vitro proliferation of ...

the most important applications of sugar beet protoplast culture are production of transgenic plants and somatic hybridization. fortunately, to date many obstacles which were involved with sugar beet protoplast culture, have successfully been removed in iran. the production of whole plant via protoplast culture as the most final step towards using this technique is the base of this investigatio...

conventional methods of pear breeding, largely based on intra- and inter-specific hybridization, are difficult because pear is highly heterozygous, polygenic and has a long juvenile period. genetic improvements of pear cultivars are possible through induction of mutations and gene transfer by genetic engineering. a general prerequisite for these approaches is to establish an efficient plant reg...

common yew taxus baccata l. is an evergreen, slow growing   tree, indigenous of hyrcanian forests in iran. discovery of paclitaxel as an   anti tumor agent in the bark of taxus has increased importance of this   plant for treatment of breast and ovary cancer, especially 7000 women die annually   due to breast cancer in iran. regarding destructive method of paclitaxel   production and protection...

Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni, member of Asteraceae family, has bio-active compounds stevioside and rebaudioside which taste about 300 times sweeter than sucrose. It regulates blood sugar, prevents hypertension and tooth decay as well as used in treatment of skin disorders having high medicinal values, and hence there is a need for generating the plant on large scale. We have developed an efficient...
