The current study includes the screening of indigenous extracellular laccase producing fungus from the soil, identified as Phanerochaete chrysosporiumspecies.The selected strain was applied under the optimized condition for the production of  laccase in the solid state fermentation. The effect of polyethylene glycol and Triton X-100 on the enhancement of enzyme activity and bi...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of priming on seed germination under salt stress and gene expression in seeds and seedlings of P. angulata L. After priming for 10 days, seed germination was tested in plastic trays containing 15 ml of water (0 dS m-1 - control) or 15 ml of NaCl solution (2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 dS m-1). Fresh and dry weight of shoots and roots of seedlings were ev...

Seed germination is generally the critical step in seed establishment and thus determination of successful crop production. This study was focused at examination biochemical parameters effected by low water potential which generated polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 mannitol, related to drought stress growth Waha durum wheat genotype. Two tests were carried out a chamber; first comprises into Petr...

AbstractThis study was undertaken to better understand the probable mechanisms of salt stress tolerance induced by seed priming of salicylic acid (SA) in barley. The barley seeds were pre-soaked by SA or water and then sown under different saline watering regimes including 0.62 (tapwater), 5, 10 and 15 dS m-1 in petri dishes and trend of water absorbing, seedling growth, germination rate and pe...

The purpose of the study was to increase the dissolution and bioavailability of BCS class II drug, paliperidone by amorphization. The technique that was evaluated for preparing amorphous paliperidone (PAL) was Hot Melt Extrusion (HME). In case of hot melt extrusion process, copovidone was used essentially as a hydrophilic polymer with plasticizers like PEG (6000 and 20000), stearic acid and cet...

Solid Dispersions were prepared by solvent evaporation technique using microcrystalline cellulose, PEG 4000, PEG 6000, PVP-K30 and Gelucire 50/13. Further objective of the project was to develop fast release surface solid dispersion of glibenclamide and compressed at low pressure to form fast-melting pharmaceutical tablet. In this study, we used sodium starch glycolate for mouth dissolving natu...

A common problem with vegetable production in drought areas is low crop stand, but germination data are limited and inconsistent for cumin. Different priming methods positively affect the enhancement of seed seedlings growth, especially under stress conditions. The objective this study was to assess effects different treatment (unprimed seeds as control, hydro-priming, salicylic acid, jasmonic ...

Crithmum maritimum L. (Apiaceae) is a perennial local oilseed halophyte. For a better understanding of the eco-physiology of salt tolerance at the germinative stage of this species, we investigate here the effects of nitrate, thiourea, and priming on its seed germination under saline conditions. Germination was strongly inhibited by increasing salinity. While nitrate supply was effective in all...
