pigeonpea (cajanus cajan (l) millsp.) is a drought tolerant legume widely grown in the arid and semi-arid tropics of the world which possesses a deep and extensive root system that succors a number of important physiological and metabolic functions to cope with drought. application of available functional genomics approaches to improve productivity under water deficit requires a better understa...

the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of polyethylene glycol (peg) molecular weights (6000, 12000 and 20000) as solid dispersion (sd) carriers on the dissolution behavior of simvastatin. sds with various drug : carrier ratios were prepared by solvent method and evaluated for dissolution rate. differential scanning calorimetry (dsc), x-ray diffraction (xrd), infrared spe...

In order to study of hydropriming and halopriming on germination and early growth stage of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) an experiment was carried out in laboratory of the Department of AgroNomy and Plant breeding, Shahrood University of Technology. Seed treatments consisted of T1: control (untreated seeds), T2: soaking in distilled water for 18 h (hydropriming). T3: soaking in -1.2 MPa solution...

A strictly anaerobic, homoacetogenic bacterium was enriched and isolated from anoxic sewage sludge with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1000 as sole source of carbon and energy, and was assigned to the genus Acetobacterium on the basis of morphological and physiological properties. The new isolate fermented ethylene glycol and PEG's with molecular masses of 106 to 1000 to acetate and small amounts of...

Three diluents were studied, to determine which is the best for the automated immunochemical measurement of specific serum proteins. Nine serum proteins (orosomucoid, a 1-antitrypsin, a2-macroglobulin, haptoglobin, transferrin, C3, lgG, IgA, and 1gM) were measured in physiological saline (9 g NaCI/liter), tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane buffer (0.01 mol/liter; pH 7.4), and physiological saline ...

abstract wild lettuce (lactuca serriola) is an annual weed with seed reproduction. an experiment was conducted to evaluate some environmental effects on germination and emergence of this weed. the type of design was completely randomized with four replications in which factors were arranged as factorial. the experiment was carried out with 11 cm petri dishes in a germinator (10 °c) and without ...

The low-density polyethylene/aluminum (LDPE/Al) joint in Tetra Pak provides stability and strength to food packaging, ensures protection against outside moisture, maintains the nutritional values flavors of without need for additives products. However, a poor adhesion LDPE Al, due its non-polar surface, is limiting factor extra polymeric interlayers or surface treatment required. Plasma-assiste...
