Minimizing air, water, and soil pollution are very important for a sustainable environment. Particularly, ensuring the continuity of fertility without deteriorating structure is important. This objective can be achieved only by determining physical, biological, chemical properties atmospheric deposition taking required measures in agricultural lands. Trees plants reflect quality especially they...

BACKGROUND Allergy is a clinical disorder affecting the human population with wide geographical distribution. Platanus orientalis (P. orientalis) trees are planted in many countries and their pollen causes allergic reactions. Cyclophilin has recently been identified as one of the most important allergens of P. orientalis pollen. We aimed to clone and purify this allergen in Escherichia coli for...

background: platanus species are widely cultured around the world and considered an important cause of allergic reactions. in the present study, we developed a sandwich elisa to quantify pla or 3 allergen in p. orientalis pollen extracts grown near high-traffic roads and compared it to pollen extracts collected from rural areas as control. methods: pollen samples were collected from three pollu...

Objective: The present study aimed to determine the effects of Rosmarinus officinalis (R. officinalis) and Platanus orientalis(P. orientalis) extracts on asthma. Materials and Methods: We conducted a randomized, double-blind, active-comparator study to evaluate the effect of P. orientalis and R. officinalis extracts on asthmatic patients resistant to routine treatment.The subjects were randomly...

spawn quality plays an important role in successful production of medicinal mushrooms. in this study, firstly, to determine the optimum temperature for mycelia growth of g. lucidum, four basal media, including seeds of wheat, barley, millet and abies sp. wood chip were studied separately at 25±1˚c and 29±1˚c. in the second section, in order to achieve suitable the mycelia growth, barley, wheat ...

Removal of cadmium from aqueous solution was studied; using platanus orientalis leaves (POL) and their ash in 2006 in Iran. Bach adsorption experiments were performed as a function of solute concentration, contact time, pH and ironic strength for the experiment. The effect of Ca , Mg , Na and K on adsorption was 2+ 2+ + then examined. The effect of this adsorbent on COD in aqueous solution show...

The Oriental Plane Tree (Platanus Orientalis), not to be confused with the better known London Plane Tree (Platanus Acerifolia), is one of Europe’s longest-lived trees. A native of SE Europe and Asia Minor, it is occasionally found in British parks and gardens, having been cultivated there since the sixteenth century. It can reach 100 feet in height and grows well in open ground, its branches, ...

Background: In the present study, tolerance of plantain tree species (Platanus orientalis, Morus nigra and Ailanthus altissima) to air pollution was evaluated using Air Pollution Tolerance Index (ATPI) Anticipated Performance (API) index in Isfahan city (Iran). Methods: For this purpose, three dominant trees growing at six stations selected then sampling leaves performed, after being transferre...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recent research on the history of Platanus reveals that hybridization phenomena occurred in the central American species. This study has two goals: to help resolve the evolutive puzzle of central American Platanus, and to test the potential of real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detecting ancient hybridization. METHODS Sequencing of a uniparental plastid DNA mark...
