Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECT OF COPPER SULPHATE AND COBALT CHLORIDE ON GROWTH OF THE IN VITRO CULTURE TISSUES FOR DATE PALM (PHOENIX DACTYLIFERA L.) CV. ASHGARAhmed Madi Waheed AL-MayahiThis study was carried out to investigate the effects of copper sulphate and cobalt chloride on propagation of date palm cv. Ashgar in vitro. The rate of callus proliferation was significantly higher in the medium supplemented with 2 µM copper sulphate and 2 µM cobalt chloride together (p<0.05). Addition of copper sulphate and Cobalt chloride to the medium was most … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 27 Nov 2013 · 8,456 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExploration of Healing Promoting Potentials of Leaves of Morus alba L. in Albino RatsManish Kaushik, Aditi Kaushik, Krishna MurtiTo establish the wound healing activity of aqueous and ethanolic extract of roots of Morus alba. Two models were performed to evaluate the wound healing activity i.e., Incision and Excision model. In incision model the parameter which was carried out was breaking strength of wounded skin. In excision model percentage wound contraction and period of epithelialization was established for both … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 4 Sep 2013 · 7,449 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractForest Fires and Resuspension of Radionuclides into the AtmosphereFernando P. Carvalho, Joao M. Oliveira, Margarida MaltaProblem statement: Forest fires are especially frequent around the Mediterranean Sea basin in the summer period and might be able to release naturally-occurring and man-made radionuclides from plant biomass and inject them into the atmosphere. The impact of this radioactivity on populations was not investigated before. Approach: Radionuclide analysis was performed in plants, in smoke from plant burning and in … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 14 Jan 2012 · 7,352 accessesView PDFCite
