Constructed wetlands (CWs) have been widely used for wastewater treatment due to advantages such as low cost and easy operation. However, pollutant concentrations directly affect efficiency by inhibiting plant microbial growth. This study aims evaluate the relationship between concentrations, tolerance of plants, horizontal subsurface flow (HSF) CWs receiving synthetic wastewater. The results s...

Background: Biotic and abiotic elicitors produce secondary metabolites and alter physiological traits of the plants by affecting some of the mechanisms within the plant cells. Objective: This study was aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of spherical nano-carbon and salicylic acid on physiological traits and paratolenolidae content in Feverfew. Methods: This research ...

Objective: Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is an evergreen tree with fruits that have potent antioxidant activity. The aim of this study was to investigate alleviative effects of carob fruit hydro-alcoholic extract (CFHAE) against reproductive toxicity induced by lead (Pb) in male mice. Material and Methods: Forty-two NMRI adult male mice were randomly categorized into 7 groups (N=6). Group ...

The present study investigated the effects of Angelica extract (AE) on Schwann cell proliferation and expressions of related proteins, including brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM), and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Proliferation activity and cell cycles of SCs were evaluated by MTT assay and flow cytometry methods, respectively, after 12 ...

in order to find the most effective concentration of 6-banzilamino purine (bap) and cycocel (ccc) on microtuber production of two potato cultivars under tissue culture conditions, a factorial experiment was carried out with randomized compelete design with 4 replications. four levels of bap (0, 5, 10 and 15 mg l-1) and four levels of ccc (0, 250, 500 and 1000 mg l-1) were applied on two potato ...
