Field trial was conducted in Research Field equipped with rainfall transparent
shade, Biology Department, College of Science, Baghdad University during the
growing season of 2012 to test the potential of sorghum water extract in improving
yield and yield components of local cultivar of mung bean crop grown under
different moisture deficit stresses. The water stresses were applied by irrigated the
plots to field capacity and withheld the next irrigation until the soil water deficit
reaches 80, 50 and 30% of field capacity for control, mild water stress and higher
water stress, respectively. Foliar application of sorghum water extract at 0 ( control),
2.5 and 5% (W/V) was made at preflowering, flowering and fruiting stages. The
experiment was conducted in split plot design with four replications for each
treatment. The sorghum water extract rates were kept in the sub plot while moisture
deficits were assigned as main plot.
Results showed that drought stress significantly reduced the averages seed
yield , dry matter accumulation, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod
and plant height. Foliar applications of sorghum extracts significantly increased
seeds yield, dry weight biomass, number of seeds per pod and plant height. The
interaction of drought stress and sorghum water extract treatment significantly
affected seed yield , dry matter accumulation, number of pods per plant, total
chlorophyll content and plant height. Application of sorghum water extract under
severe moisture deficit stress (i.e., 70% field capacity) increased seed yield, dry
weight biomass and plant height , number of pods per plant, number of seeds per
pod by 37.8%, 48.9%,64.3%,8.7% and 5.1%, of control, respectively compared the
reduction achieved by the sever moisture deficit applied alone which was 58.50% ,
56.06% , 57.17% , 48.05% and 14.78 % of control for the aforementioned
parameters respectively.
Chlorophyll content was found to be increased by effected by application of
sorghum extracts at control moisture treatment. Proline content of leaves was
significantly increased by high drought stress when water extract applied alone.
However, such differences disappeared when sorghum extract was applied,
suggesting another mechanisms could be responsible for the stimulatory effect of
sorghum extract under drought stress.
The present investigation developed the ester prodrugs of Non-steroidal anti inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Mefenamic acid and Flurbiprofen by conjugating with the natural antioxidant, 4-methyl umbelliferone that resulted the formation of Mefenamic acid-umbelliferone ester prodrug and Flurbiprofen-umbelliferone ester prodrug .The principal objective this study is the synthesis of the ester prodrugs of NSAIDs with the enhanced therapeutic activity and minimized side effects. Prodrugs were synthesized by coupling method using N,N’- dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/4-dimethylaminopyrimidine, subjected to physical, chemical characterization, spectral characterization (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and Mass spectra),hydro

In our research novel schiff bases of imides moiety have been synthesized . Novel Schiff base derivatives of imides moiety have been synthesized by multistep reaction . First step involves prepare 2-amino -5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (I) by the cyclization of thiosemicarbazide with carbon disulphide and anhydrous sodium carbonate in ethanol as a solvent . Then , compound (I) was reacted with phthalic anhydride in the presence of glacial acetic acid to give 2-(5-mercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) isoindoline-1,3-dion (II).Compound (II)was heated with ethyl chloracetate in the presence of potassium carbonatproduced ethyl 2(5-(1,3-dioxoisoindoline -2-yl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-yl thio) acetate (III).The reaction of compo

The increasing number of orphans and their organizations and institutes in our community makes it increasingly important to design and develop an expert system that supports decisions concerning orphans and their families. This system can be used by any orphans organization to facilitate its work.
The proposed work is designed to manage the Orphans and Families of Martyrs of Terrorism Expert System (OFMTES) by registry all information about all orphans to display mostly orphan deserves bill, data is entered for each orphan, and with each entry a counter is increased according to this input information; the output result represents the score for that orphan. Different orphans have different scores. Coloring is used to know the degree o

In search of novel antibacterial agent, a series of new isatin derivatives (3a-d) have been synthesized by condensation isatin (2,3-indolinendione) with piperidine (hexahydropyridine), hydrazine hydrate and Boc-amino acids respectively. Compounds synthesized have been characterized by IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. In addition, the in vitro antibacterial properties have been tested against E. coli, P. aeruginosa, and Bacillus cereus, S. aureus by employing the well diffusion technique. A majority of the synthesized compounds were showing good antibacterial activity and from comparisons of the compounds, compound 3d has been determined to be the most active compound.
