in order to determine the effect of different irrigation intervals on some morphophysiological traits of basil (ocimum basilicum l.), an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications under greenhouse conditions during 2010. treatments included five irrigation intervals with 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 days intervals and two ecotypes of basil (gr...

in order to study the effect of different water potential on anethum graveolens l. an experiment was conducted. this study was carried out based on completely randomized design with three replications. in this experiment, morpho-physiological characteristics were assessed under hydroponic. stress was established with peg 6000, and drought potentials were: 0 (control), -1.5, -2, -2.5 and -3 bar....

Environmental stresses are the most important factors that reduce plant growth in stages of development. The presence of aluminum in acidic soils as an environmental stress has an impact on different parts of the plant and reduces root growth, water absorption and nutrients and increases susceptibility to drought.  In order to evaluate the effect of aluminum stress levels on wheat at germinatio...

Aminopeptidase N (APN) is important in tumour processes. The present study detected the anti‑tumour activity of the novel APN inhibitor DH‑12a, which is an indoline‑2,3‑dione derivative. In the present study, Bestatin, a clinical APN inhibitor was used as a positive control. The expression of APN in the ES-2 and 3AO cell lines were assessed using flow cytometry and the drug inhibition constants...

introduction proteins are one of the basic and essential required compounds for life, and the creatures receive it either from a plant or animal origin. it has been reported that the positive effects caused by applying the magnetic field are due to the paramagnetic properties of the cells within the plant, and pigments such as the chloroplast. biophysical methods (magnetic fields, electricity, ...

The spatial distribution of plant-available mineral nutrients in forest soils is often highly heterogeneous. To test the hypothesis that local nutrient enrichment of soil leads to increased root proliferation in the nutrient-rich soil zone, we studied the effects of nutrient enrichment on the growth and nutrient concentrations of Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.) Franco), Scots pine (P...
