Generally, the second cut was superior in the studied vegetative growth parameters than the first cut. The highest values of N, P, K, Fe, and Mn were recorded with BA at 10 ppm, whereas higher Zn values were recorded with BA at 5 ppm. Active ingredients including total phenols, total flavones, total chlorophyll, and Lascorbic acid greatly increased with IAA at 50 or 100 than the other treatments or the control. However, volatile oil percentage and volatile oil content/plant were high in IAA at 50 or 100 ppm followed by GA3 at 200 ppm. The second cut was superior to the first cut in promoting volatile oil percentage and volatile oil content/ plant in both studied seasons. The main components in volatile oil were 1,8-cineole, linalool, á-trans-bergamotene, germacrene D and á-muurolol. The highest values of linalool, the main component in the volatile oil of sweet basil (50.90%) was recorded by IAA at 100 ppm.","PeriodicalId":40934,"journal":{"name":"EGYPTIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY SCIENCE","volume":"47 1","pages":"41-56"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46072476","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}

This marker was more sensitive and provided much more evidence to discriminate at low taxonomic levels, especially for Egyptian acidic, whereas, SSR can differentiate within the group level only. Intriguingly, the heatmap cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) data drew an accurate monophyletic annotations cluster in Citreneae species, offer unambiguous identification without overlapping groups between true species and related hybrids of citrus, resulted in their placement in different clades. The use of molecular technologies will help to overcome the obstacles of cultivars identification, genetic variability in the Egyptian citrus breeding.","PeriodicalId":40934,"journal":{"name":"EGYPTIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY SCIENCE","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46653088","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}

Intensive agricultural pollution arises from both natural (geological) and anthropogenic activities i.e., various stationary and mobile sources (Bilos et al., 2001). Agricultural amendments e.g., sewagesludge, mineral synthetic fertilizers and pesticidesrelease large quantities of HMs (Anagawa et al., 2019), exceeding critical limits i.e., 60mg/kg Pb and 70mg/kg Cu in the soil according to FAO/WHO (2001).This is acutely evident inEgypt, especially in areas adjacent to the highways, domestic wastewater and industrial zonewhich pose a critical concern to plants,environment and human at the end of the food chain. In northeastern of the Delta, particularly in Talkha, an industrial and agricultural city, the soil is heavy in texture with relatively high pH, low organic matter and contaminated by copper and lead, besides low quality irrigation water which was a mixture of industrial waste from El Delta Fertilizers Co. and sewage and agricultural wastewaters. THE PRESENT study was carried out during the summer seasons of 2017 and 2018 in Talkha city, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt near El-Mansoura-Damietta highway and El Delta Company for Fertilizers and Chemical Industries, where lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) levels in the soil exceed the permissible levels. Therefore, the aim of this study was to alleviate the adverse effects of heavy metals (HMs) on tomato plant (Solanumlycopersicum L.) Super Strain B F1. Twelve treatments were conducted which were the interactions between two silicon (Si) foliar spraying (without or 300 ppm Si) and six soil amendments : 100% chemical fertilizers (CF), 50% farmyard manure (FYM), 100% FYM, 100% CF+ Trichoderma spp. (T.), 50% FYM + T. and 100% FYM + T. Data indicate that Pb and Cu were accumulated in tomato organs to hazardous levels in the following descending order : roots > shoots > fruits and shoots > roots > fruits, respectively which consequently severely reduced tomato plant growth and fruit yield and fruit quality. Results also, showed that the application of Si treatment sole or in combination with soil amendments markedly enhanced plant height, dry weight, total chlorophyll, number of fruits/plant, total yield/fed, Vitamin C, acidity %, TSS and taste index, where as, reduced Pb and Cu concentrations in different plant organs, bio-concentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF). However, Si + FYM + T. treatment was superior in these respects, therefore increased the net return. Also, negative correlations were obtained between fruit yield and BCF of Pb or Cu and between taste index and TF of Pb or Cu.","PeriodicalId":40934,"journal":{"name":"EGYPTIAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY SCIENCE","volume":" ","pages":"0-0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2019-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49305144","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}

The answer required conducting a field experiment on broccoli (Brassica oleraceavar. italica) cultivated on a heavy claysoil for two successive seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018.The nano form of NHA surpassed CSP by 14.2 to 17.8 % for leaf area and 13.6 to 15.8% for total head yield. Foliar spray with NBO increased leaf area, head yield and vitamin C content in heads as compared with BA. P and B contents in broccoli shoots receiving the nano forms surpassed those of the conventional fertilizers. Combined application of the two nano-fertilizers surpassed the combined application of the two conventional fertilizers by 16.0 %.
