air pollution is the most important environmental problem of last century that threatens the health of living organisms, especially plants. so2 is one of the main air pollutants that can cause to imbalance in growth and physiological function of plant in high concentrations. symbiosis of rhizobium bacteria with alfalfa can cause increasing plant growth and plant resistance to abiotic stresses. ...

Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.), commonly known as hemp, is an annual herb belongs to the family Cannabacea. The seeds of this plant have considerable content of oil and unsaturated fatty acids, and its fiber is used in the paper and textile industries. Tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabidiol are main cannabinoid compounds of this plant, which have high importance for their well-known pharmaceutical...

Applying Nanoporous Materials is an appropriate method for improving chemical quality of the water due to high surface area, internal porous structure (porosity), high absorption capability of harmful gases and liquids, and capability of reactivating the surface. Therefore, actions were carried out in order to investigate the effect of Activated carbon and Zeolite on reducing the total dissolve...

A full-length cDNA encoding a novel type of plant dynamin-like protein, ADL3, was isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana. ADL3 is a high molecular weight GTPase whose GTP-binding domain shows a low homology to those of other plant dynamin-like proteins. ADL3 contains the pleckstrin homology domain as is in mammalian dynamins, although other plant dynamin-like proteins reported lack this domain. The...

The study was conducted to assess the native and alien plant species in one of the highly disturbed forest (S1) and less disturbed forest (S2) in Mt. Manunggal, Cebu Island, Philippines. Twenty-four quadrats with a size of 20mx20 m were established using a quadrat sampling technique to identify and record all plant species. Diversity indices were utilized to determine species abundance, richnes...

the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles is an active research area in nanotechnology. in the present study, antioxidant potential, total reducing capacity and silver nanoparticles (ag nps) synthetic potential of methanolic leaf extracts of seven plant species were evaluated and compared. antioxidant capacity, expressed as µmol trolox equivalents g-1 dw (µmol te g-1 dw), ranged from 116.0 ...

the present investigation was carried out to study the variability, heritability, correlations and path coefficient analysis in 14 kabuli type chickpea genotypes during three successive cropping seasons (2011-14), in a randomized complete block design with four replications. combined analysis suggested significant differences between genotypes for most of characteristics. the highest phenotypic...

The advance in genomics technology leads to the dramatic change in plant biology research. Plant biologists now easily access to enormous genomic data to deeply study plant high-density genetic variation at molecular level. Therefore, fully understanding and well manipulating bioinformatics tools to manage and analyze these data are essential in current plant genome research. Many plant genome ...

To increase the understanding of how the plant phenotype is formed by genotype and environmental interactions, simple and robust high-throughput plant phenotyping methods should be developed and considered. This would not only broaden the application range of phenotyping in the plant research community, but also increase the ability for researchers to study plants in their natural environments....
