background: fenugreek (trigonella foenum - graecum l.) is an annual medicinal plant belongs to the legume family and has anti-diabetic, anti-fertility, anticancer, anti-microbial, anti-parasitic and hypocholesterolaemic effects. objective: evaluation of growth and trigonelline /mucilage content in fenugreek under application of plant growth regulators (pgr). methods: the experiment was conducte...

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is an important phytohormone, a member of gibberellins family, which acts as a promoter and regulator of plant growth. This study aimed to evaluate GA3 production by Fusarium moniliforme LPB03 and Gibberella fujikuroi LPB06 using different techniques of fermentation, solid state fermentation (SSF), submerged fermentation (SmF), and semisolid state fermentation (SSSF), and...

BTF3 has been recognized to be involved in plant growth and development. But its function remains mostly unknown during seed germination and seedling stage. Here, we have analyzed OsBTF3-related sequences in Oryza sativa L. subspecies, japonica, which resembles with the conserved domain of a nascent polypeptide associated complex (NAC) with different homologs of OsBTF3 and human BTF3. Inhibitio...

Tow field experiments were conducted during the seasons of 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 at experimental farm Etay El-Baroud research station to investigate effect foliar application with gibberellic acid (GA3) 50 100 ppm chitosan (CS) 200 ppm, in addition, control for each Giza Red onion. The results showed significant positive effects examined concentrations GA3 or CS on all studied characters exce...

When embryonated and de-embryonated cotyledons of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L.) were kept for germination, only embryonated cotyledons (EC) developed into seedlings. alpha-Amylase activity appeared late in de-embryonated cotyledons (DEC), but increased and matched with that of EC on 4th day, and thereafter started declining. A higher content of reducing sugars may be one of the factors in down ...

Bu çalışma 2019 yılı vegetasyon döneminde Bartın ilinde bulunan, 12 yaşındaki Hayward kivi çeşidinde yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada 5 farklı bitki büyüme düzenleyicisinin (50 ml/100 L CPPU, 20 ppm GA3, 2 mM OA, 25 IBA, ve 50 Perlan ) meyve kalitesi üzerine etkisi incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda tüm uygulamaların ağırlığı boyunu kontrole göre önemli düzeyde arttırdığı saptanmıştır (p≤0,05). Perlan,...

Gibberellic acid (GA3) is a group of plant hormones identified in various plants. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of GA3 on sperm parameters and in vitro fertilization (IVF). Fifty six adult male rats were divided into seven groups as, control, treatment and sham. Following 15, 30 and 45 days of GA3 and methanol alcohol (MA) administration, rats were euthanized and epididymis...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the specific and amplified β-glucuronidase (βG) expression in prostate cancer cells by using a prostate‑specific antigen (PSA) promoter-controlled bicistronic adenovirus and to evaluate the specific killing of prostate cancer cells after the application of the prodrug DOX‑GA3. Bicistronic adenoviral expression vectors were constructed, and the effec...
