        Introduction: One of the scenario for separation of biotechnology products is the application of aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) rather than traditional extraction by using solvent. The ATPSs are applicable method for separation and purification of biomolecules mixture. The ATPS can be applied for protein purification of biomolecules from suspension broth. The goal of the present research is the study of partitioning of -amylase in polymer-salt aqueous two-phase system composed of polyethylene glycol with molecular weight of 1000 and tri-sodium citrate salt as a biocompatible salt. Materials and Methods: The aim of this research is to study partitioning of α-amylase enzyme in an aqueous two phase system. The system consists of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with molecular weight of 1000 and tri-sodium citrate that is a biocompatible salt. Results: The results for partitioning of enzyme in ATPS has been modeled and statistically analyzed; and indicated that the partition coefficient of -amylase in the system has the maximum amount of 2.681. Conclusion: In this research it has been proved that ATPS components concentration has an effect on the enzyme partition coefficient. Using experimental results, -amylase has a great tendency to be placed in the PEG rich phase. Manuscript profile

        Allelopathic effects of plant can be one of the best ways to reduce the applying of herbicides which are high costly to register and have environmental effects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the allelopathic effects of wheat cultivars and to identify the ability of them to control weeds. a field and laboratory experiment was conducted in Research Farm and Seed Technology laboratory of Aburaihan Campus, University of Tehran, during 2015-16. Seeds of 70 wheat cultivars were sown at 600 square meters of Research Farm and samples were taken for bioassay at the tillering stage. To separate the impact of allelopathic extract and osmotic potential of the extracts, different solutions were made with the same osmotic potential for each extract. Then, experiments simultaneously were conducted to investigate the effects of extract and osmotic potential on germination of canola. The results of separations of allelopathic and osmotic potential effects of extractions showed that the inhibition of canola germination is related to allelopathic effects and not osmotic potential of extraction (PEG). Results indicated that allelopathic effects of wheat cultivars had slightly increased during the releasing period of cultivars from 1940 until now, but this increase was not significant. This shows that breeders had not attention to allelopathy of wheat cultivars during breeding programs. Results indicated that there were some cultivars with high allelopathy and it is possible to include them in breeding programs to produce cultivars with high potential of weeds control.

        Statistical methods are used in the analysis of all types of data. In this paper, using multivariate analysis of variance and multivariate regression, the data related to the thermal conductivity of nanofluids have been analyzed and the results of the two methods have been compared. A two-step method was used to prepare ethylene glycol-magnesium oxide nanofluid. In order to prepare the nanofluid by suspending the nanoparticles in the base fluid, an ultrasonic homogenizer was used. For this purpose, nanoparticles with diameters of 20, 50, and 100 nm in volume fractions of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, and 1.25% have been used at temperatures of 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 50 degrees Celsius. Transient hot wire method was used to measure thermal conductivity in different volume fractions. Then the obtained experimental values were analyzed using SPSS.26 software. The coefficient of determination and the graphs of the errors obtained in the two methods showed that when the independent variables are defined as grouped, the use of multivariate analysis of variance can better describe the dispersion of the thermal conductivity.

        Evaluation of medicinal plants to drought and salt stress tolerance, in an attempt to plant them under drought and saline regions, is of utmost importance. Environmental stresses, especially drought and salt, reduce the global crop yields more than other factors. Selection of drought tolerant crops at germination stage, usually is, the fast and low cost method. In order to study the effect of osmotic stress on germination indices of black cumin and milk thistle, an experiment carried out in a completely randomized design with four replications at the Seed Technology Laboratoary of Yasouj University in 2008. Treatments were 0 (as control), -2.4, -4.8, -7.2 and -9.4 bar osmotic potentials created by using PEG 6000. Results showed that, decreasing of osmotic potential reduced speed of germination and its percentage, root and shoot lengths and dry matter in these two plants. Black cumin showed higher tolerance, to -4.8 bar osmotic potential, as compared to milk thistle. However, milk thistle showed higher tolerance to drought stress, up to this osmotic potential (-4.8 bar), compared to black cumin. Milk thistle had lower germination speed and percentage at higher drought stress as compared to black cumin. Generally, milk thistle showed better growth and survival than black cumin due to its higher root and shoot length and dry matter. Manuscript profile

        Celery (Apium graveolens) is a biennial plant, belonging to family Apiaceae. Various parts of celeryare used in hepatic and spleen disorders, brain disorders, body pain, and sleep disturbances. The present study was planned to investigate the effect of celery ethanolic extract on ethylene glycol induced kidney injury in male Wistar rats. Urolithiasis was induced in hyperoxaluric rat model by giving 0.75% ethylene glycol for 28 days. Animals were divided into 8 groups (n=6) including normal control, urolithiatic control (0.75% ethylene glycol in their drinking water), normal rats receiving celery extract at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg and urolithiatic rats receiving celery extract at doses of 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg intragastrically. At the end of the experiment (28 days), blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture and serum calcium and oxalate was analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed by one-way analysis of variance followed by Tukey post hoc test (p<0.05). Significant elevation of serum oxalate and reduction of serum calcium was observed in urolithiatic control rats compared with the normal control rats. Administration of celery extract at a dose of 200 mg/kg produced significant elevation in serum calcium and reduction in serum oxalate in urolithiatic rats. Thus, celery extract could ameliorate urolithiasis induced by ethylene glycol. Manuscript profile

        In order to effect of spermidine and polyethylene glycol pretreatment on germination and some physiological and morphological activity durum wheat under salinity stress a  experiment with 20 treatments, three replications was conducted in 60 experimental units. Treatments included five levels of spermidine (0/ 02,0/ 05,0/ 1 and 0/15 mM) and four levels of polyethylene glycol (0- 2,- 4 and -5 bar). The results showed that the use of spermidine increased the relative weight contact of leaf (RWC), leaf area ratio, chlorophyll s and phenolic compounds . In this study, carotenoids content and leaf antioxidant activity decreased with increasing spermidine level and also had no statistically significant effect on germination. With increase of polyetylen glycol antioxidant activity, carbohydrates and  total phenolics increased  but decreased germination. Therefore, according to the above results, application of spermidine and polyethylene glycol as seed pre-treatments can have significant effects on physiological and morphological activities in stress conditions and increase plant potency under stress conditions.    Manuscript profile

        Sesame as one of the most important oilseed crops has high industrial, food, and medicinal potentials. Drought stress challenges sesame production, especially at the germination and seedling stages. To screen sesame genotypes for drought tolerance at the germination stage, a factorial experiment was performed in a completely randomized design with 3 replications. The studied factors included 4 drought levels induced by polyethylene glycol (concentrations of 0%, 20%, 25%, and 30%) and 15 sesame genotypes. Based on the results of ANOVA, the effect of genotype, drought, and their interaction on all studied traits including germination rate, germination speed, vigor index 1 and 2, radicle length, plumule length, and seedling fresh and dry weight was significant (P<0.01). Significant reduction (P<0.05) was observed in all levels of stress compared to the control in the studied traits. Germination rate, radicle length, and plumule length (with 10%, 17%, and 18% reduction, respectively) showed less sensitivity to drought stress at weak level (20% concentration), while the most negative effect was obtained for vigor index 2, seedling dry weight and seedling fresh weight (with 52.5%, 47.3%, and 34.4% reduction, respectively). On the other hand, the highest decrease was observed in plumule length, vigor index 1 and 2 (98%, 97%, and 96%, respectively), under severe drought (30% concentration). The calculated drought tolerance indices of each trait were used for principal component analysis and biplot visualization. Thus, genotypes were divided into 5 categories based on tolerance. Dashtestan 2 and Darab 1 genotypes were selected as the most tolerant and Qaem, Yekta, Sudan, and Kerman genotypes were selected as the most sensitive genotypes. The findings of this study can be used in future studies and breeding programs of sesame for drought tolerance. Manuscript profile

        The present study was conducted to study genetic diversity in 26 rice genotypes (lRRl heat tolerant collection) in 2016 in Khuzestan Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Center as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications including 24 lines and 2 hybrids as the first factor and drought stress with PEG 6000 in 5 levels of zero (control), -0.3, -1.8, -3.3 and -4.8 Bar were performed as the second factor. The results of analysis of variance showed that there was a significant difference between drought levels, genotypes and their interaction in all traits at a probability level of one percent. The lowest indices of germination and seedling growth were observed at the level of -4.8 Bar. The highest positive and significant correlation (r = %90**) was obtained between shoot length and seedling length. In principal component analysis, the four first components accounted for 85% of the total diversity. Cluster analysis with Ward method included genotypes in three clusters.

        Environmental stresses specially drought, play an important role in decreasing plant growth, particularly during germination in dry and semi dry area. To considering the effect of drought stress caused by polyethylene glycol on germination and characteristics of 2 spices of Sesamum indicum, we had done factorial and complete accidental plot with 4 treatments and 3 times repetition. Experimental treatments included osmotic potential in 4 levels (0, -4, -6, -10 bar) which was produced by polyethylene glycol 6000 and 2 sesame species (Safi Abadi and Dezfol). All data had been analyzed by SAS software and comparison of means had been done by Duncan test at 5% probable level. The results showed that, percentage and speed of all spices’ germination decline by osmotic potential enhancement. Other measured parameters such as radicle and coleoptile length, dry and wet weight declined by increasing osmotic potential as well. Manuscript profile

        Abstract: In biotechnology, separation, extraction, and purification of biomolecules using aqueous biphasic systems, as environmental and economic sustainable alternatives for conventional water-organic solvent extraction techniques, have always been the focus of great attention and examina-tion. One approach proposed by researchers is based on the use of ionic liquids (ILs) as adjuvants in ABS, making the capability of these systems for the extraction of biomolecules to be promoted. In this regard, this work is devoted to study the effect of IL 1-butyl-3-methyl imidazolium bromide ([C4C1im] Br) on the formation of ABS Composed of a polyethylene glycol (PEG) with molecular weight 600 and a biodegradable organic salt potassium citrate. For this purpose, the binodal curves and the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) data of the studied ABS, along with the partition coeffi-cients of [C4C1im]Br were determined at two temperatures of 278.15 K and 318.15 K. The results obtained indicate that the ability of [C4C1im]Br to promote the formation of the studied ABS de-creases with increasing temperature, so that at 318.15 K, the addition of IL makes the formation of two-phase system more difficult. In addition, [C4C1im]Br displays the partition coefficients greater than one for all the compositions and temperatures studied, which increases with increasing TLL at a given temperature.

        In order to assess the response of ajowan to drought stress that induced by PEG 6000 on germination and growth stages, two separate experiments that in each useed completely randomized design with three replications were done. In first experiment, the response of germination of ajowan seeds was investigated to different levels of drought stress include osmotic potential of zero (control), - 1/5, -2, -2/5 and -3bar that prepared by PEG6000. The second experiment was same first, but in this experiment, morphological and physiological characters of ajowan in different level of drought stress were evaluated. Results of Anova at our data showed that drought stress has significant effect (p≤0/01) on germination characters such as germination percentage, germination rate, height of plumule, length of radicle, dry weight of radicle and plumule. Mean comparison of treatments showed, with increase in drought stress, all the above characters have been reduced. Morphological traits such as leaf area, fresh and dry weight of shoot and root and shoot dry weight ratio to root decreased under drought stress. Also, drought stress had a significant effect on the amount of proline and soluble sugars in the aerial part and root. Comparison of mean of treatments showed that, with increasing stress, the amount of proline and soluble sugars in the shoot and root increased (p≤0/01). The results showed, that germination parameters were reduced by drought stress. Ajowan showed differently responce to tolerate drought stress. Ajowan plant for tolerance to drought stress has different reactions, including reduction of traits such as leaf area and dry and fresh weight of aerial part and root and increase traits such as proline content and soluble sugars.

        The purpose of this study is synthesised of functionalized polycaprolactone and polyethylene glycol diacrylate based scaffold in the presence of hydroxyapatite (HA) particles and investigated of mechanical and biological properties of scaffolds. . At the first step, PCL diol was acrylated with acryloyl chloride and confirmed using fourier transform infrared (FTIR).Then, the scaffolds were synthesized by radical crosslinking reaction of polycaprolacton acrylate and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) in the presence of hydroxyapatite (HA) particles and particulate technique with sodium chloride. The prepared samples were characterized using techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Results show that increasing the ratio of PEGDA to polycaprolactone diacrylate (PCLDA) led to increase of tan δ peak and decrease of compressive modulus of the network, respectively. It was found that the incorporation of HA particles with the polymer matrices resulted in an increased of compressive modulus and a decrease of tan δ peak. Cytocompatability of the scaffolds were assessed by direct contact test and staining cell. Results indicated no toxicity, and cells attached and spread on the pore walls offered by the scaffols. Thus, the results indicated that the PCLDA/PEGDA/HA scaffolds have the potential of being used as promosing substrates in bone tissue engineering. Manuscript profile

        The inhibiting action of Schiff base and polyethylene glycol (Salpn-PEG) complexes on low-carbon steel corrosion in 0.5 M sulfuric acid was examined using weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and spectroscopy electrochemical impedance (EIS) techniques. Schiff base N, N’-bis(salicyladehyde)-1,3-diaminopropane (Salpn) was synthesized by salicylaldehyde and 1,3- diaminopropane. PEG/Salpn complex with weight ratio 1:4, 2:4 and 3:4 of Salpn and PEG were prepared in methylene chloride solvent by a simple deporotonation procedure. Obtained Results show that PEG/IMZ complex is very effective corrosion inhibitor of carbon steel in the acid environment in compare with PEG, Salpn and noncomplex form of them. Maximum corrosion inhibition was obtained for PEG/Salpn complex with weight ratio 1:4 of Salpn and PEG. The inhibition efficiency increased with the increase in the temperature up to 45°C and decrease in higher temperatures. Results from all the corrosion tests were examined using SEM and are in reasonable good agreement. Adsorption thermodynamic data (〖K 〗_ads and 〖∆G〗_ads ) was calculated using the weight loss data Manuscript profile

        Drought stress is one of the most important limiting factors in the expansion and regeneration of plants in the agricultural systems and natural environment, which the best way to deal with it is to introduce cultivars resistant to stress. For this purpose, by experimenting in the 2015 -2016 cropping year, the response of 5 cultivars of chickpea including 3 Kabuli cultivars (Arman, Azad and ILC482) and 2 Desi cultivars (Pirooz and Kaka) to drought stress resistance under 5 levels of water potential (0, -3, -6, -9 and -12 times), using 6000 polyethylene glycol in the laboratory in a factorial design in a completely randomized design with 3 replications. Cultivars were evaluated in field conditions in the form of a randomized complete block design with 4 replications at the research site of the Kurdistan Agricultural Research Center. The results showed that there are significant relationships between the characteristics measured in laboratory and field conditions. Among the studied cultivars, only Desi cultivars showed good germination potentials in (-9) and (-12) times. Therefore, in terms of drought stress tolerance at the germination stage, they had a significant advantage over Kabuli cultivars. In reducing the potential from zero to (-6) times, the greatest difference was seen in all traits. The highest number of days to flowering, day to maturity and the number of seeds per plant belonged to Kaka cultivar and the highest grain yield belonged to Arman cultivar. Cluster analysis revealed the similarity of Kabuli cultivars and their genetic distance from Desi cultivars. Manuscript profile
