salicylic acid (sa) and methyl jasmonate (meja) as phytohormone regulate synthesis of secondary metabolites in a wide range of plant species thereby accumulation of phenylalanine ammonia lyase enzyme (pal) and accelerate of oxygen free radicals, protein kinas and no production. the present research designed to evaluate effect of sa and meja elicitation on accumulation of phenolic compounds, fla...

Background: Lead is one of the sustainable metals with devastating effects on many tissues. This study, examined the adverse effect of lead poisoning on the gene expression of collagen type II and osteocalcin by mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured in chondrogenic and osteogenic media, respectively. Methods: We used 18 male Wistar rats, divided in 3 groups. In addition to libitum feed as the...

 The accumulation of heavy metals Pb and Cd in the mangrove, Avicennia marina, was studied on the southern coast of Iran, particularly on and near Qeshm Island in the Persian Gulf. The samples were collected from 7 stations which they were analyzed by flame Atomic absorption spectrophotometer after chemical digestion. Maximum Pb and Cd in leaves are (34.50, 3.52 ppm) and minimum of them are in ...

In this work lead and zinc in the soils of permafrost forest-steppe have been studied. It was revealed that binding heavy metals following descending series: Zn > Pb, which corresponds to values their clarks. Studies shown occurs mainly with fulvic acids, -with humic is associated chemical properties. The content Pb rock turned out be lower than soil, possibly due biological accumulation. No...

Toxic heavy metals, such as lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are widely used in industry and their accumulation in the living tissues may cause serious health problems and ecological hazards. Twenty four moderately halophilic bacteria isolated from saline environments of Iran were used to study their ability to bioremediation of lead and cadmium. Amongst them, a Gram-negative rod shaped bacterium, de...

the natural lignan podophyllotoxin, a dimerized product of two phenylpropanoid moieties which occurs in a few plant species, is a pharmacologically important compound for its anticancer activities. optimization of the in vitro cultures might lead to a renewable source of lignans for medicinal uses. in order to maximize efficiency of podophyllotoxin accumulation via in vitro cultures, the effect...
