Embryo growth alteration and oxidative stress responses in germinating Cucurbita pepo seeds exposed to cadmium and copper toxicity.

This study investigated the influence of cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) heavy metals on germination, metabolism, and growth of zucchini seedlings (Cucurbita pepo L.). Zucchini seeds were subjected to two concentrations (100 and 200 μM) of CdCl and CuCl.

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Model for the Classification of Varieties of Date Palm Fruits ( L.).

The popularity and demand for high-quality date palm fruits ( L.) have been growing, and their quality largely depends on the type of handling, storage, and processing methods. The current methods of geometric evaluation and classification of date palm fruits are characterised by high labour intensity and are usually performed mechanically, which may cause additional damage and reduce the quality and value of the product.

Zinc Supplementation Overcomes Effects of Copper on Zinc Status, Carbohydrate Metabolism and Some Enzyme Activities in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Rats.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of zinc supplementation on zinc status, carbohydrate metabolism and some enzyme activities in rats with alloxan-induced diabetes that were fed high-copper feed.

Methods: Male albino Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=10). The first and fourth groups were nondiabetic and diabetic controls.
