These issues are causing the seedlings vulnerable to diseases and weed infestation during stand establishment of hemp. This study includes different seed priming agents (water, -0.8 MPa PEG 6000, 50 mMol thiamine and 10 mMol mannitol). These priming agents were controlled under different temperatures (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 °C) to evaluate their potential for promoting germination and seedling growth. Results revealed that seed treatment gave accelerated mean germination time, increase emergence percentage at lower temperatures. Seed pre-treatments also promoted shoot length in all temperatures. However root length promoting effects of seed pre-treatments were more evident at 10, 15 and 20 °C. Seedling fresh and dry weight reached maximum values at 20 °C with water, thiamine and mannitol treatments. Chlorophyll and leaf proline content reached their higher values at 20, 25 and 30 °C. Overcoming temperature stress and promoting germination is important for hemp development. It was concluded that hemp seeds primed with water, thiamine, and mannitol had the highest biomass values for low, optimum, and high temperatures in this paper that makes these seed treatments suitable for hemp plants that could come across low or high temperatures during germination and early growth stages.","PeriodicalId":22202,"journal":{"name":"Tarım Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"9 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140495893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to evaluate the attributes of the synthesized Rr-AgNPs, FE-SEM or TEM micrographs were utilized to characterize the morphology of the AgNPs. A UV-visible spectrophotometer was used to assess the highest absorbance bands of RR-AgNPs. These data were used to produce RR-AgNPs, which were characterized as having exclusively negative surface charges of -25 mV, a spherical shape, maximum absorbance at 428 nm wavelength, and 96 nm size distribution. The effectiveness of the produced AgNPs for usage in medical applications was assessed using the MTT technique with microdilution. Minimum Inhibition Concentrations of Rr-AgNPs on pathogen strains were found to range from 0.03-0.50 mg/L. Additionally, it was discovered that AgNPs effectively suppressed malignant cells in the investigation for the anticancer effects of AgNPs, with rates of 86.27%, 74.67%, and 73.49%. Healthy cells were not subjected to any inhibitory effects at the same concentrations that caused this result.","PeriodicalId":22202,"journal":{"name":"Tarım Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138980526","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Silici","doi":"10.15832/ankutbd.1293015","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15832/ankutbd.1293015","url":null,"abstract":"For centuries, honey bee products such as honey, bee pollen, royal jelly, bee bread (perga), and bee venom have been utilized in natural medicine due to their beneficial properties. A great deal of scientific research has been dedicated to exploring their physico-chemical properties and therapeutic effects. Despite this, drone larvae have not received as much attention from the scientific community. Within a honey bee colony, drones are responsible solely for fertilizing queen bee eggs and consuming food reserves collected by worker honey bees. As a result, beekeepers commonly remove excess drone brood from the hive, which is crucial for preventing and treating varroasis. Lyophilization is the most effective method for preserving drone larvae, and the physicochemical properties of fresh and lyophilized drone larvae were compared. The therapeutic effects of drone larvae, such as androgenic, hepatoprotective, immunostimulatory, and hypolipidemic effects in humans and experimental animals, were summarized. This study aims to summarize current scientific knowledge on drone larvae (apilarnil). The author utilized well-known publication databases like SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and Pub Med to gather research on drone larvae. Furthermore, this review collected information on the chemical composition preservation and bioactive action of drone larvae. Thanks to their high levels of amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and hormones, drone larvae can be considered a potential potency-raising agent.","PeriodicalId":22202,"journal":{"name":"Tarım Bilimleri Dergisi","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139358706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
