background and aims: to evaluate the effect of temperature on wheat streak mosaic virus (wsmv) resistance phenotype, through total protein, phenol, and peroxidase activity in bread wheat, a factorial experiment was conducted using adl-cross (resistant) and marvdasht (susceptible) cultivars. materials and methods: results showed that incubation at 32c changed the gene expression for resistance ...

background: evaluation on the toxicity of two mainly contaminant heavy metals, cadmium (cd) and lead (pb) through the food chain was the aim of this study. methods: a total number of 270 healthy common carp (4±1.14 g) in april, 2015 transported to the khatam alanbia university of technology, behbahan, iran. fishes were divided into three groups and transferred to the 20 l aquaria each containin...

management of solid waste (flyash) has attained an apparent scenario for scientific & strategic concern in india due to large-scale dependence on coal-based thermal power plants. waste utilization as the best option of pollution-prevention and disaster risk strategy has been worked out during previous decades to open doors for flyash utilization on various sectors of developmental and manuf...

we studied the hepatotoxic effects of a deltamethrin containing formulation (decis®) on developing em-bryo of gallus domesticus. fertilized eggs were immersed in three different concentrations of deltamethrin (12.5, 25 and 50 mg/l) for 60 min at 37 ˚c prior to incubation (ed 0) and on the 4th day of incubation (ed 4) and incubated till embryonic day (ed) 16. exposure to 50 mg/l of deltamethrin ...

hematological parameters are suitable biomarkers for evaluating the potential risk of the chemicals. the aim of this study was to investigate of acute crude oil exposure on basic physiological functions of persian sturgeon, acipenser persicus. 210 juvenile persian sturgeon (9.4 ± 1g) were supplied by the rajaei fish farm in mazandaran province, iran.  juveniles were exposed to the crude oil (15...

the purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effects of propolis on biochemical and microbiological parameters in muscle tissues of carp (cyprinus carpio, linnaeus 1758) exposed to arsenic. a sublethal concentration of arsenic (0.01 ppm) and/or 0.01 ppm propolis were administered to fish for seven days. biochemical parameters [ph, lactic acid, total volatile basic nitrogen (tvb-...

the present study deals with the oral supplementation with (50, 100 and 150 ?g/ml) synergetic effect of potassium and magnesium chloride on the fat body glycogen, protein, total lipids and haemolymph trehalose, protein of fifth instar larvae of bombyx mori l (lepidoptera: bombycidae). the observed parameters significantly increased in all the treated groups when compared with those of the corre...

this experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of different levels of costmary(tanacetum balsamita)medicinal plant on performance, egg traits, and blood biochemical parameters of laying hens. hundred-eighty of hi-line laying hens (w 36) from 46 until 58 weeks of age were used in a completely randomized design in five treatments and three replicates (12 birds per replicate). the treatment...

hemiscorpius lepturus is medically important scorpion species present in the south and southwest part of iran, causing morbidity and mortality in children and adults. unlike other scorpions studied so far, the venom of h. lepturus is highly cytotoxic, that can be a reason for its complexity in clinical manifestations in patients stung by this scorpion. scarce studies showed the mechanism involv...

background: fish have been at high risk of atrazine toxicity. comparative atrazine toxicity on the tissues of clarias gariepinus is scanty. therefore, acute and chronic effects of atrazine on some biochemical parameters in clarias gariepinus were investigated in this study. methods: atrazine toxicity was determined by assessing the responses of glucose, protein, alanine aminotransferase (alt), ...
