Pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium L.) from the Lamiaceae family is a medicinal plant which has great antioxidant properties. Environmental stresses such as drought can result in changes in the activity of antioxidant enzymes and the content of some biochemical factors in plants. In this investigation, the effects of drought stress on the activity of supe-roxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, catala...

Background: Type 2 diabetes is one of the main causes of death and its treatment is one of the clinical priorities. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Satureja khuzistanica essential oil (SKEO) and carvacrol on lipid peroxidation index (MDA), plasma total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and also the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Materials and Methods: The study was experimental in natur...

In order to evaluate the allelopatic potential of sunflower alcoholic extract against winter wild oat (Avena ludoviciana) at germiantion and vegetative growth stage two expriments were coducted in Islamic Azad University, Shoushtar branch at 2012. Both expriments were laid out according to Completely Randomized Design with five replications and treatments were various concentration of sunflower...

Salinity is one of the most important non- biological stresses which limit the production of agricultural yields in dry and semi arid regions. Humic acid as an organic acid and ascorbate as a powerful antioxidant can improve yield of plants under salt stress. In order to investigation effects of salinity and its interaction with ascorbate and humic acid on growth, photosynthetic pigments conten...

  Abstract In order to investigate the effect of deterioration on germination indices and enzymes activity of flax oil seed (Linum usitatissimum L.) Red Bazrak genotype, a factorial experiment was conducted base on completely randomized design with four replications in laboratory of seed technology at Yasouj University, 2015. The factors included the temperature at 4 levels (15, 25, 35 a...

Abstract In order to evalution of antioxidant enzymes activity and yield of flower of chamomile genotypes under drought stress condition and foliar application of nano iron chelated, a factorial experiment in a randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at greenhouse research farm of the University of Zabol in 2014. Experimental treatments included drought stres...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) release from cellular water molecules under abiotic and biotic stresses which are harmful for cellular metabolism. Although, some of radical injuries neutralize via plant enzymatic and nonenzymatic reactions like antioxidant system such as superoxide dismutase, catalase, peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase. Aeluropus littoralis Parl. is a halophyte plant belongs...
