background: elicitors can trigger defense responses and activate specific genes involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis. objective: for understanding sa-treatment signaling pathway we determined defense-related compounds and enzymes in s. marianum hairy root cultures. methods: 28 day old hairy roots were treated by salicylic acid (6 mg/50 ml culture) for different times (24, 48, 72, 96 an...

wheat streak mosaic virus (wsmv) causes extensive economic damage to wheat (triticum aestivum l.) in many regions of the world. the present study was conducted to find out if the variations in biochemical changes in reaction to wsmv infection in f2 generation of either potentially resistant (adl-cross) or susceptible (marvdasht) cultivars are genetically inherited. a factorial experiment was em...

acriflavine (3,6-diaminoacridine) is an anticeptic drug developed in 1912. previous research has focused on investigation of the intercalating features of acriflavine, but little is known about its interaction with proteins. drug-receptor interaction is of major interest in clinical science. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the ability of acriflavine to induce alterations in conform...

a hydroponics study was carried out in order to understand the behavior of antioxidant enzymes, soluble protein content and its effect on cell death in different old leaves of durum wheat. two month after planting, the different old leaves were sampled and the activity of super oxide dismutase (sod), catalase, ascorbat peroxidase and guaiacol peroxidase were measured. furthermore, the rate of c...

The effect of different thiourea (TU) concentrations (10 and 20 mM) on antioxidants, protease activity and protein content with and without H2O2 (50 mM) induced stress was investigated in wheat leaves. A gradual decrease in protein content with a peak at 72 hours was observed in stressed as well as control leaves. This gradual decrease in leaf protein content at different time intervals was com...

a completely randomized design (crd) with three replications was conducted at greenhouse of urmia university in 2013 to study the effect of different methyl jasmonate concentrations (0, 0.1 and 0.5 mm) on the activity of enzymes polyphenol oxidase, phenylalanine ammonia lyase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase, guaiacol peroxidase and total protein content in basil. activity of the enzymes and tot...

abstract kinetic properties of root of peroxidase of gundelia tournefortii investigated at different ph, temperature and different inhibitors. maximum activity of peroxidase achieved at ph 5.5-6 in according to type of substrate. activity of peroxidase increased at constant concentration of h2o2 and different concentration of guaiacol, catechol and pyrogallol. the maximum activity in presence o...

in this study, we present changes of peroxidase (e. c. 1.11.1. 7) activities in the root of brassica napus var. okapi during rosette stage until ripening of the fruits. peroxidase activity was determined seasonally over an eight month period. results showed that total peroxidase activity in the root was highest in mid june and the lowest activities were observed from time of winter dormancy unt...
