Drought stress is one of the most important factors affecting plant growth. Plant growth under drought stress may be enhanced by the application of microbial inoculation including plant growth promoting rhizobacteria. This research was conducted as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. The first factor included the bio-fertilizer (A. vinelandii (A)), P. agglomerans+ P. ...

Melissa officinalis is a perennial herbaceous plant from Lamiaceae family, widely used in food and pharmaceutical industries to add aroma. Drought stress in plants may happen due to the increase in water loss, insufficient water absorption or both. Salicylic acid (SA) is an important secondary metabolite in plants with hormone-like action in some biochemical pathways. Adding it during water-def...

Introduction: Noninvasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and targeted drug delivery systems, usually referred to as theranostic agents, are being developed to enable detection, site-specific treatment, and long-term monitoring.   Materials and Methods: To elucidate the effects of coating on cellular uptake and biodistribution of n...

abstract controversy exists regarding the association between iron deficiency anemia (ida), iron status, and febrile convulsion (fc) during childhood. in this article, a systematic review and meta-analysis is conducted in order to determine possible association and the degree of association between these statuses and fc. to identify all studies related to ida and fc, various references such as ...

results fifty seven patients were assigned to receive peg and 52 patients received cfe. after 4weeks of medication, 86.5% of children in cfe group and 77.1% in peg group (rr = 1.121, ci95%:0.939 - 1.338) exited from the criteria of fc. all measurable criteria improved in both groups without any significant difference, except in the frequency of defecation that in cfe group (10.96 ± 5.7) was sig...

Background: Essential oil content and composition in medicinal and aromatic plants is highly affected by both biotic and abiotic factors. Objective: To investigate the effects of drought stress, zeolite and bio-fertilizers on morphological characteristics and essential oil constituents in Dracocephalum moldavica L. Methods: This experiment was conducted in the form of split factorial based on...

In order to study the effects of drought stress and mycorrhiza fungi on establishment rate and some growth-morphological traits ofZiziphora clinopodoides, pot experiments were conducted as factorial design based on a completely randomized design at the research greenhouse of agricultural faculty, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in 2014; pots were combined as four levels of drought stress includi...
