in order to study the tolerance level of different wild barley (hordeum spontaneum) populations to clodinafop propargyl (topic®), a pot dose response experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design with three replications at ferdowsi university of mashhad greenhouse in 2009. cultivared barley (hordeum vulgare) and three wild barley populations (shiraz, boshroyeh, and torogh) were stu...

The effect of organic amendments and pesticides on a soil microbial community has garnered considerable interest due to the involvement of microorganisms in numerous soil conservation and maintenance reactions. The aim of this work was to assess the influence on a soil microbial community of the simultaneous application of the herbicide triasulfuron at three doses (2, 10, and 50 mg kg-1), with ...

Seven new azalomycin F analogs (1-7) were isolated from the broth of mangrove Streptomyces sp. 211726, and respectively identified as 25-malonyl demalonylazalomycin F5a monoester (1), 23-valine demalonylazalomycin F5a ester (2), 23-(6-methyl)heptanoic acid demalonylazalomycins F3a ester (3), F4a ester (4) and F5a ester (5), 23-(9-methyl)decanoic acid demalonylazalomycin F4a ester (6) and 23-(10...

diesel fuel has a limited resource and concerns over environmental pollution areleading to the use of ‘bio-origin fuels’ as they are renewable and environmentally benign. jatrophamethyl ester, an esterified biofuel, has an excellent cetane number and a reasonable calorific value.it closely resembles the behaviour of diesel. however, being a fuel of different origin, the standarddesign limits of...

The antitumor properties of (E)-2-(fluoromethyl)dehydroornithine methyl ester (delta-MFMO-ME) and of (E)-2-(fluoromethyl)dehydroornithine ethyl ester (delta-MFMO-EE), the prodrugs of delta-MFMO, an irreversible inhibitor of mammalian L-ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) 14 times more potent than alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and equipotent to (2R,5R)-6-heptyne-2,5-diamine (MAP) in vitro, have...

The antitumor properties of (E)-2-(fluoromethyl)dehydroornithine methyl ester (A-MFMO-ME) and of (E)-2-(fluoromethyl)dehydroornithine ethyl ester (A-MFMO-EE), the prodrugs of A-MFMO, an irreversible inhibitor of mammalian L-ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) 14 times more potent than a-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and equipotent to (2R,5R)-6-heptyne-2,5-diamine (MAP) in vitro, have been inves tiga...

The extraction of yacon [Smallanthus sonchifolius (Poepp. and Endl.) H. Robinson; Asteraceae] leaves and chromatographic separation yielded two new antibacterial melampolide-type sesquiterpene lactones, 8beta-tigloyloxymelampolid-14-oic acid methyl ester and 8beta-methacryloyloxymelampolid-14-oic acid methyl ester, as well as the four known melampolides, sonchifolin, uvedalin, enhydrin and fluc...

atropine has been used to block cholinergic neurotransmission in basic research. large doses of atropine cause vasodilation of the blood vessels in the skin. this effect is apparently unconnected with the antimuscarinic activity of atropine and seems to be due to a direct action on the blood vessels. it has been suggested that atropine blocks muscarinic receptors at low doses and it induces the...

WLR1, a biotype of Lolium rigidum Gaud. that had been treated with the sulfonylurea herbicide chlorsulfuron in 7 consecutive years, was found to be resistant to both the wheat-selective and the nonselective sulfonylurea and imidazolinone herbicides. Biotype SLR31, which became cross-resistant to chlorsulfuron following treatment with the aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicide diclofop-methyl, was r...
