nitric oxide (no) is a bioactive molecule, which was found to have several physiological roles, including antioxidant. to have a better understanding of the effects of no concentrations (0, 0.1 and 0.2 mm) on germination, growth, photosynthetic pigments, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity of basil (ocimum basilicum l.) under different salinity concentrations (0, 100 and 200 mm of nacl)...

adverse environmental storage conditions including high temperature and relative humidity could affect seed quality. the objective of this investigation was to quantify relationship between temperatures and seed moisture on seed deterioration and determination viability constants in sorghum. four storage temperatures (5, 15, 25 and 35oc) and three moister content levels (6, 10 and 14%) were use...

this study was intended to evaluate the quality of 30 honey samples, in terms of physicochemical properties such as moisture content, electrical conductivity, ash content, reducing sugars and sucrose, free acidity, ph, diastase activity, and hydroxymethylfurfural (hmf) content. moreover, three methods recommended by the international honey commission for the determination of hmf, including 1) h...
