BACKGROUND/AIMS Carbon monoxide (CO) interferes with cytochrome-dependent cellular functions and acts as gaseous transmitter. CO is released from CO-releasing molecules (CORM) including tricarbonyl-dichlororuthenium (II) dimer (CORM-2), molecules considered for the treatment of several disorders including vascular dysfunction, inflammation, tissue ischemia and organ rejection. Cytochrome P450-s...

in order to investigation some soil characteristics and filed age effects on flower and corm yield of saffron, an experiment was conducted as factorial based on complete randomized design with five replications in two regions of neyshabur during growing season 2009-2010. treatments were included different filed ages (2, 4 and 6 years) and two geographical regions (eshagh abad and soltan abad). ...

Chronic, low level treatment with a carbon monoxide releasing molecule (CO-RM), CORM-A1, has been shown to prevent the development of obesity in response to a high fat diet. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that chronic, low level treatment with this CO-RM can reverse established obesity via a mechanism independent of food intake. Dietary induced obese mice were treated wi...

introduction saffron as a food, spicy and medicinal plant has more than 62000 ha under cultivation with about 250 tons annual dry stigma production in iran, which includes about 90% of its world production. therefore, this plant has a specific value in agricultural export products of iran (fallahi et al., 2014). due to the important role of saffron in iran’s agroecosystems, the improvement of i...

Several saffron ecotypes (Mashhad, Torbat-Jam, Torbat-Haydarieh, Gonabad, Birjand, Ghaen) were evaluated in Urmia for stigma yield and yield components using different maternal corm weights(6, 8, 10, 12 g) in 2013 cropping year. The experiment was arranged as factorial based on randomized complete block design. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among saffron ec...

An experiment to Study on genetic variability of Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus) cultivars under prayagraj agro-climatic conditions was carried out at Departmental research field Horticulture, Naini Agriculture Institute during the Rabi season 2021-2022 with Eight Cultivars in randomized block design three replications. The viz. White prosperity, Mohini, Hunting song, Creamy green, Suchitra,...

in order to investigate the effect of high density and depth of planting on agronomic characteristic of saffron, a field experiment was conducted as a complete randomized block design with three replications in faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran during two growing seasons of 2008-2009 and 2009-2010. treatments were six levels of high densities (8, 11, 13, 16, 19 and 21...

Field experiment was conducted at Akwa Ibom State University teaching and research farm during the 2020 2021 cropping seasons to evaluate growth yield of cocoyam on varying rates organic manure in a based-intercropping system Obio Akpa, Nigeria. Experiment laid out randomized complete block design with three replications. Treatments were four – PM 0 t/ha, 2.5 5.0 7.5 t/ha) crop mixtures - Sole ...

Suitable selection of cultivars, is one of the important determinant factors that affects on quantity and quality of bulb flowers at the climate of Iran. In order to, introducing superior cultivars of gladiolus for cultivation in temperate regions of Iran, the experiment was carried out in a complete randomized block design (CRBD) in three replications with five cultivars of gladiolus including...
