the aim of this research was to improve quality and vase life of cut gladiolus flowers. the investigation was done with the effects of different concentrations of essential oil of thymol and zataria oil (50 and 100 mg l-1) and silver nanoparticles (3 and 5 mg l-1) and 8-hydroxyquinolin sulfate (300 and 400 mg l-1) with sucrose 3%. in addition, distilled water, ethanol 500 mgl-1 and sucrose 3% w...

ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a microwave-assisted chemical method. ZnO nanostructures were synthesized via a fast reaction between zinc acetate and ammonia at presence citric acid and other effective agents in chemical procedure. Nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction , scanning electron microscopy. Seed yield and seed quality of safflower grown under drought stress. Th...

Tests were conducted to determine the concentrations of copper sulfate needed to kill Flavobacterium psychrophilum, the cause of bacterial coldwater disease, either in vitro or on Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss eggs. For the in vitro test, a plastic strip dipped in a solution of F. psychrophilum was exposed for 15 min to copper sulfate solutions of 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 35, 50, 75, or 100 mg/L. B...

Maintaining quality and longevity of cut flowers is one of the critical issues in the floriculture industry, especially in cut flowers; and one of the most important problems in chrysanthemum, as one of the most popular cut flowers. Therefore, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design as pulse treatment with the three factors: tea extracts with 4 levels (5, 10, 20, and 4...

Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) is used to treat and prevent eclamptic seizures, and several anticonvulsant drugs (e.g., sodium valproate) are clinically effective antimanic drugs. Psychostimulant-induced hyperlocomotion has been proposed as an animal model for the study of antimanic drugs. The present study evaluated the effects of MgSO4 and sodium valproate (as a positive control) on hyperlocomotio...
