Plants for optimal growth requires absorb water and nutrients absorption from the soil. Magnetic Water downward movement of minerals and makes it easy for plants to absorb nutrients and water. This study was designed to investigate the effect of magnetic salt water on some quantity and quality characteristics of artichoke leaves. The experiment was factorial based on completely randomized desig...

introduction roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.) as a medicinal plant belongs to the malvacea family. their active ingredient increases under water stress. humic acid bacteria derived from humus and other natural resources have hormonal effects and can improve nutrient absorption to enhance performance especially under stress conditions . materials and methods this experiment was conducted in the ...

the purpose of this study was to develop sunless tanning cosmetic creams from green coffee beans. chlorogenic acid, which was extracted from green coffee beans, performed the change of the color of keratin in stratum corneum, used as active ingredient in the formulation. extracted chlorogenic acid from green coffee beans were incorporated into four cosmetic cream bases, and then the tanning eff...

A novel acyltransferase from cotyledons of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), which catalyzes the transfer of caffeic acid from chlorogenic acid (5-O-caffeoylquinic acid) to glucanc and galactaric acids, was purified with a 2400-fold enrichment and a 4% recovery. The enzyme showed specific activities (theoretical Vi., per milligram of protein) of 625 nanokatals (caffeoylglucaric acid forma...

Plants of the genus Taraxacum Wigg., have long been used as medicinal herbs. A phytochemical investigation of the aerial parts of Taraxacum bessarabicum (Hornem.) Hand.-Mazz. subsp. bessarabicum (Hornem.) Hand.-Mazz. (Asteraceae) yielded two coumarins [esculetin (1), cichoriin (2)], three flavonoids [ luteolin (3), luteolin 7-O-β-D-glucoside (4), gossypetin (5)] and six phenolic acids and their...

thyme (thymus vulgaris l.) is an aromatic and medicinal plant which is very important for the herbal industry. in this research, in vitro selection for nacl tolerance was investigated in this plant. hypocotyl and shoot explants (apical meristem and cotyledonary leaves) of sterilized seedlings were cultured in ms medium supplemented with different combinations of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid ...

Fresh first year roots from Dipsacus sylvestris HUDS. were extracted with 70% ethanol, ethyl acetate as well as dichloromethane. Extracts were solubilized in water (lipophilic extracts with addition of polysorbate 80) and tested for their activity against Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in vitro during an eight-day period using amoxicillin as standard. The hydroethanolic extract showed no gr...

This study aimed at determining the effects of preharvest aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) applications in different doses on the fruit quality of Black Beauty plum during cold storage. Plum trees were applied AVG doses (100 and 200 mgL-1) two weeks before the estimated harvest date. Change in physical, mechanical, chemical and bioactive compounds in fruit samples were determined at weekly interva...
