Drought is one of the abiotic stresses that have a significant impact on agricultural growth across world. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation in rice plants may be viable and environmentally acceptable method sustaining development yield drought-stressed plants. The current study focused alleviation drought early stages variety CO 51 using PGPR isolated from rhizosphere xer...

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is often used in protein crystallography as a low-ionic-strength precipitant for crystallization and as a cryoprotectant for low-temperature data collection. Prompted by the discovery of an apparent L-lactate molecule bound in the active site of the Escherichia coli PutA proline dehydrogenase domain crystal structure, the L-lactate concentration of several PEG solution...

Background Microparticles are one of drug delivery systems designed for sustained and controlled release drugs a long period time. Clotrimazole is broad-spectrum antifungal agent, which generally used treatment Candida albicans others fungal infections. Objective The present study aims to fabricate microparticles using beeswax (lipophilic coating) polyethylene glycol (hydrophilic coating). Meth...

Drought stress is a major constraint affecting growth and yield of several economic crops including mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek]. In vitro selection for drought tolerance an alternative method early determination tolerant plants. The objective this study was to perform in genotypes under water induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000. Seeds 18 were germinated Murashige Skoog (MS) liqu...

Shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) are typically synthesized using polyols of low molecular weight (MW~2,000 g/mol) as it is believed that the high density of cross-links in these low molecular weight polyols are essential for high mechanical strength and good shape memory effect. In this study, polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) with MW ~6000 g/mol as the soft segment and diisocyanate as the hard ...

Drought and salinity are two major abiotic stresses, similarly and/or differently affecting physiological processes of wheat. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the impacts of drought and salinity on wheat. A pot experiment was conducted as completely randomized design with three replications in the research greenhouse of Yasouj University in 2015. Treatments included different l...

Aceclofenac is an analgesic and anti-inflammatory agent used in the management of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. The objective of the present work was to investigate the effect of different types of carriers such as polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP), polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 and sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) as solubilizer on in vitro dissolution of aceclofenac....

Humoral and cellular immune responses are currently induced against hepatitis C virus (HCV) core following vaccination with core-encoding plasmids. However, the anti-core antibody response is frequently weak or transient. In this paper, we evaluated the effect of different additives and DNA-protein combinations on the anti-core antibody response. BALB/c mice were intramuscularly injected with a...

Using the NBD/Rh fluorescence assay the PEG 6000 induced phospholipid mixing of phosphatidylcholine liposomes containing cholesterol, diacylglycerol or phosphatidylethanolamine was measured. All 3 components shifted the PEG 6000 concentration necessary to induce 50% of maximal phospholipid mixing to lower concentrations. After the addition of PEG cholesterol containing PC liposomes exhibit diff...

The main aim of the present investigation was to develop in situ gelling mucoadhesive liquid suppositories of ondansetron by using mucoadhesive polymers such as sodium alginate, methyl cellulose and polyvinylpyrrolidone. Polyethylene glycol was used to modify gelation temperature. Mucoadhesive liquid suppositories of ondansetron were prepared by adding mucoadhesive polymers (0.8% w/w) to the fo...
