Condensation water has been a recent focus in ecological hydrology research. As one of the main sources that maintains food chain arid regions, condensation significant impact on balance environments and plays an important role desert vegetation. This study takes drought areas high-salinity habitats as its focus—selecting Halostachys caspica (M.Bieb.) C.A.Mey. community mild, moderate, severe s...

H(+)-translocating inorganic pyrophosphatases (H(+)-PPase) were recognized as the original energy donors in the development of plants. A large number of researchers have shown that H(+)-PPase could be an early-originated protein that participated in many important biochemical and physiological processes. In this study we cloned 14 novel sequences from 7 eremophytes: Sophora alopecuroid (Sa), Gl...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Since 2004, bacterial screening of platelets has been required in the USA and is also done on a voluntary basis in many European countries. The German Red Cross blood donor services conducted a prospective multicentre study in order to investigate the prevalence of bacterially contaminated pool platelet concentrates and apheresis platelet concentrates. This substudy co...

Study area was selected from Talou farm to Chahjam Kavir in Damghan. Several plant types were distinguished in mentioned site. The types were Artemisia herba alba-Pteropyrum olivieri, Anabasis aphyllaLycium depressum, Tamarix. spp.-Halocnemum strobilaceum, Ha. strobilaceum Halostachys bellangeriana, Ha. strobilaceum-Limonium iranicum. In each plant type, three dominant plant species were select...

Prevalence and intensity of the intracellular Heamogregarine parasites (Haemogregarina stepanowi) was investigated in two species of freshwater turtles in Iran. Blood smears were collected from the European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) and the Caspian pond turtle (Mauremys caspica), air dried and stained by Giemsa. Prevalence and mean intensity of parasitemia in turtles of each locality were ...

Nitraria sibirica Pall., a typical halophyte of great ecological value, is widely distributed in desert, saline, and coastal saline-alkali environments. Consequently, researching the salt tolerance mechanism of N. sibirica Pall. has great significance to the cultivation and utilization of salt-tolerant plants. In this research, RNA-seq, digital gene expression (DGE), and high flux element analy...
