the aim of this research was to evaluate the average concentrations of micronutrients including: copper (cu), iron (fe), manganese (mn) and zinc (zn) in the shoots of different cultivars of wheat in stem elongation stage in a soil contaminated with cadmium (cd). the treatments consisted of three levels of cd (0 (as control, cd0), 40 (cd40) and 80 (cd80) mg cd/kg soil) and fourteen different cul...

in this study, the concentration of calcium (ca), cobalt (co), chromium (cr), copper (cu), iron (fe), potassium (k), magnesium (mg), manganese (mn), selenium (se) and zinc (zn) as essential metals, were determined in caviar of wild beluga sturgeon caught from the caspian sea in march 2012. potassium (4885.51± 17.81 µg g -1 ) and magnesium (346.61± 6.6 µg g -1 ) had the highest concentration and...

abstract heavy metals enter to human food chain through the plant and soil contamination. it is very important to evaluate the affecting factors on plant uptake of heavy metals. in this study the effects of copper and zinc availability on cadmium uptake of root and shoot of corn and sunflower was investigated. the experiment was carried out with a factorial arrangement, two species of plants (s...

this experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of different substrate on growth and yield of gerbera flower. the experiment was performed using 10 treatments as fallow: fine sand, peat +fine sand (%25+%75), peat + fine sand ( %50 +%50), perlite + peat (%75 + %25), perlite + peat (%50 + %50), perlite + peat (%25 + %75), perlite + peat + expanded clay (%25 + %70 + %5), perlite + peat +...

background & aim: in some studies, changes in trace elements of abuse of addictive substances have been mentioned. due to the effects of trace elements on the immune system and their effects on susceptibility to infectious agents, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect(s) of morphine dependency on the concentration of trace elements (copper, zinc and manganese) levels in serum ...

in order to evaluate the effects of wastewater irrigation on sugar content and morphological traits of sugar beet (beta vulgaris l.), an experiment was conducted in split plot design based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research station in shahrekord university in 2013. the treatments consisted of irrigation with urban wastewater at 2-4 and 8-12 leaf stages, and ...

A new, cost-effective, and environmental-friendly cloud point extraction methodology was described for enrichment of copper, manganese and nickel in several water samples. The method involves the complexation of copper, manganese or nickel with 2-amino-6-(1,3-thiazol-2-diazeyl)-phenol at pH 7.0, then extraction into Triton X-114. After dilution of the surfactant-rich phase with acidified methan...
