In the identification process of weed materials available in "IRAN" herbarium, a specimen belonging to the genus Lactuca (Asteraceae) had the following characteristics: Plant annual, many stemmed from base; stem erect-slightly procumbent, slender, glabrous, whitish and leafy. Basal leaves dried; stem leaves ca. 7 × 0.5 cm, glabrous, linear-lanceolate, entire at margin, sessile, auriculate, auri...

Gum Arabic, a natural polysaccharide derived from exudates of Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal trees, is a commonly used food hydrocolloid. The highlight of this study was to review the utilization of gum Arabic for industries and human health. Gum Arabic has a unique combination of excellent emulsifying properties and low solution viscosity. These properties make gum Arabic very useful in sever...

Experiments were carried out to test the aqueous extracts of twenty plants for their antifungal activity against Fusarium solani the causal of dry rot disease of potato. The obtained results showed a differential activity of the plant extracts against the mycelium growth. The combined leaf extracts of Lawsonia alba and stem extracts of Acacia catechu in general showed a strong enhancement in ac...

Rising atmospheric [CO2] (Ca) generally enhances tree growth if nutrients are not limiting. However, reduced water availability and elevated evaporative demand may offset such fertilization. Trees with access to deep soil be able mitigate stresses respond more positively Ca. Here, we sought evaluate how increased vapor pressure deficit precipitation likely modify the impact of Ca (eCa) on produ...

in this research the utilization of acacia wood (acacia salicina) in medium density fiber board production was investigated. sample boards were made from acacia fibers at two resin contents (10, 12%), two press temperatures (175, 185 ˚c) and three press times(3, 4, 5 min). the results were analyzed based on a complete randomized design (crd) under a factorial experiment. results revealed that i...
