In order to investigate the effects of Cl− and SO42− based fertilizers on accumulation cadmium (Cd) in rice plants, a long-term experiment, which has been conducted since 1975, short-term pot experiment were designed. The results showed that highest total grain Cd was found treatment with rich Cl−, 72.7% higher compared conventional fertilization (CF). However, there no significant difference b...

In order to investigate the effect of Cd and Zn on uptake, concentration and the translocation factor of the Cd and Zn in the rice plant, a factorial experiment was conducted with four factors including two rice cultivars of Vandana and Hashemi, two waterlogged and non-waterlogged conditions and three levels of Zn and Cd (0, 5 and 10 mg kg-1 soil). The experiment was carried out in a randomized...

background: cadmium is one of the most toxic heavy metals in our environment having a very strong ability to accumulate in body organs, especially in kidney. the present study was done to determine the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity in kidneys of rats exposed to cadmium. methods: male rats (n=30), kept in standard conditions were used in this study. the animals were randomly divided into 2 group...

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine efficacy bioaugmentation in pyrene-contaminated soil based on microbial counts, colony development index (CD), ecophysiological diversity (EP), enzyme activity, and an assay residual pyrene levels soil. samples were contaminated with doses 100 1000 mg kg −1 DM Two bacterial consortia used study: P1 ( Bacillus frigoritolerans Z2B-19, simplex 2–134, ...

Cadmium (Cd) pollution around the world is a serious issue demanding acceptable solutions, one of which is phytoremediation that is both cost-effective and eco-friendly. Removal of Cd from contaminated water using plants with high growth rates and sufficient Cd accumulation abilities could be an appropriate choice. Here, we investigated a potential Cd accumulator, Wolffia, a rootless duckweed w...

Background: Marine pollution is a global environmental problem that its monitoring by ideal biomonitors is of great importance. Marine organisms, especially mussels, have the ability to accumulate metals from the environment they can be considered as a biomonitoring agent. Methods: In this study, concentrations of heavy metals were measured in Saccostrea cucullata collected from seven sites on...

BACKGROUND Enteric glia cells (EGCs) are essential for the integrity of the bowel. A loss of EGCs leads to a severe inflammation of the intestines. As a diminished EGC network is postulated in Crohn's disease (CD), we aimed to investigate if EGCs could be a target of apoptosis during inflammation in CD, which can be influenced by Brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). MATERIAL/METHODS GFAP...
