Effects of phosalone plant pesticide on sperm parameters and sexual hormone levels in Wistar rats: An experimental study.

Background: Phosalone is an organophosphate insecticide, applied to control of plant pests. This compound has various side effects because it acts as an acetyl cholinesterase enzyme inhibitor.

Objective: To investigate the effects of phosalone on the sperm parameters of and levels of sex hormones in adult male rats.

Indirect somatic embryogenesis of purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench): a medicinal-ornamental plant: evaluation of antioxidant enzymes activity and histological study.

Purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench) is a widely used medicinal and ornamental plant. In the present study, the callus embryogenesis was examined using benzyl adenine (BA) at three levels (3, 4, 5 mg L), 1-Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at three levels (0.

Effect of salt stress on the genes expression of the vacuolar H -pyrophosphatase and Na/H antiporter in Rubia tinctorum.

Salinity which covers vast areas of the world is increasing every year. But some plants like madder can grow in these areas. Madder (Rubia tinctorum) is a perennial plant species from the Rubiaceae family.

Transcriptome profiling of fully open flowers in a frost-tolerant almond genotype in response to freezing stress.

Spring frost is a major limiting abiotic stress for the cultivation of almonds [Prunus dulcis (Mill.)] in Mediterranean areas or the Middle East. Spring frost, in particular, damages almond fully open flowers, resulting to significant reduction in yield.
