(nyctaginaceae) is a medicinal plant used for the treatment of kidney disorders, urinary tract disorders and blood purification in baluch tribe. the aim of present study is to evaluate the antioxidant propertyof b. elegans species for the first time. materials and methods: different parts (leaf, stem and fruit) of the plant were extracted by using various solven...

The mother tinctures of desert were screened for antibacterial activity against bacterial strains of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Mother tinctures were prepared by maceration process and antibacterial activity of different plants was evaluated and compared by measuring their zones of inhibition. The results indicated that Boerrhavia diffusa mother tincture had excellent activity on...

The use of many psychotropic drugs (PDs) is associated with increased caloric intake, significant weight gain, and metabolic disorders. nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) has been used to study the effects PDs on food intake. However, little known about body fat C. elegans. In elegans, feeding behavior metabolism are regulated through independent mechanisms. This aims evaluate intake ...

salicylic acid (sa) plays a key role in plant disease resistance and hyper-sensitive cell death but is also implicated in hardening responses to abiotic stress. the aim of this study is to examine the effects of salicylic acid on the growth, eco-physiological and biochemical characteristics in zinnia elegans plant exposed to copper stress. effects of copper (cu) on biomass, root length and shoo...

background : 5-fluorouracil could lead to a decline in fertility in caenorhabditis elegans. the aim of this study was to describe the mechanisms underlying such an altered fertility phenotype and to illustrate the specific genes and path-ways that are involved in the related phenotypic changes in c. elegans. methods : we isolated total rna from the samples and used a new method called digital g...
