Abstract: This study aimed to investigate the phytochemical components and antifungal activity of Cressa cretica L. using Gas chromatography - Mass spectrum (GC - MS) and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR) techniques in addition to the characterization ( morphological and molecular) of fungal ear infection (otomycosis) and evaluate the antifungal activity (in vitro) of the C. cretica bioactive extracts. The secondary metabolites analysis of C.cretica extracts revealed the presence of phenols, alkaloids, terpenes, flavonoids, glycosides and tannins. The results of GC - MS reported 112 chemical compounds (30 in flowers, 34 in leaves, 23 in stems and 25 in roots). The results of the FTIR confirmed the presence of large numbers of functional groups in each part of the plant and these functional groups which varied according to the solvent type. More of these functional groups were alcohols, phenols, alkanes, alkyl halides, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, aromatics, nitro compounds and amines. The results were designed according to factorial experiments with complete randominal designed. Clinical diagnosis of otomycosis fungi revealed that there are 126 positive casesout of 185 cases included the filamentous fungi Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, A. terreuss, Penicilleum digitatium, either yeasts have included Candida parapsilosis, C. albicans, C. glabrata , C. Krusie. The percentage of Candida was 53.63% while the percentage of filamentous fungi was 46.36%, males was more infected than females, the age group 11 - 20 years old appear more affected than other age groups (19.8%), while the age group 31 - 40 years old and those who are older than 61 years were the least affected. Antifungal activity of C. cretica extracts revealed that each species of Candida had been affected by a part more than others, as well as a certain type of solvents, as follow : C. Parapsilosis largely affected by flowers extract when solvent hexane was used (the diameter of inhibition zone was 10.33 mm) at the concentration of 50%, while the C. albicans was most affected by whole plant when used ethyl acetate solvent (the diameter of inhibition zone was 10.92 mm). Stems extract by using hexane solvent was the most inhibitory growth effect on C. glabrata (the diameter of inhibition zone was 10.8 mm), while the roots extract by using methanol solvent showed largest inhibition on C. krusie growth (the diameter of inhibition zone was 8.56 mm). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) reached to 25% on C. glabrata and C. krusie when using hexane stems extract and methanol roots extract respectively, while C. parapsilosis and C. albicans had reached the minimum inhibitory concentration to 30% when using hexane flowers extract and ethyl acetate whole plant extract.The results revealed that the alkaloids extract are the most effect against all species of Candida under study, the inhibition zone for C. parapsilosis was 4 mm diameters and 3.6 mm for C. albicans , 3.2 mm for C.glabrata and 5.2mm for C. krusie, followed by phenols extracts and terpens with the exception of C. albicans since terpenes extract had been more affected than phenols extracted, and this effect was increased with increasing the concentration of extract. When the C. cretica compared with the antifungal (Fluconazole) the results showed that the effect of extracts had greater inhibitory effect against otomycosis fungi, where the greatest impact of fluconazole was 8.23 mm at concentration 50% in the treatment of C. glabrata, and had the little inhibitory effect on the growth of C. krusie where the diameter of inhibition zone was 0.53 mm at the concentration 50%, and that the inhibitory effect increases with increasing concentration, while roots alkaloids gave inhibitory effect reached to 5.2 mm on C. krusie .

Abstract: The study was conducted to investigate several taxonomic aspects which comprised the micro - morphological studies of epidermal layer of leaves, pollen grains, fruits and seeds.In addition to that, the anatomical and molecular studies for 12 species of Euphorbiaceae family which belonged to five genera AndrachneL. , Chrozophora L., Euphorbia L, Mercurialis L. and RicinusL., were performed. One representative species for each genuswas selected; in exception 8 species were chosen for the genus Euphorbia..The current results confirmed that the anatomical characters showed valuable taxonomic traits which can evidently be used to distinguish between species. The most prominent trait was mesophylla tissue in leaves which were observed in three categories;1 - Bifacial leaves : - which found in C.tinctoria, Euphorbia sp ., E. milii, E.annua and R.comminus 2 - Uni - facial (heterogenus) leaves : - this category of the mesophyll was detected in two species only A.telephioides and E.prostrata3 - Uni - facial (homogenus) leaves : - this category were noticed in five species; E.denticulata ,E.helioscopia ,E,macrocarpa , E.microsphaeia and E.peplus The second important comparative anatomical character was the Mid rib, which are in four types with several shapes from which discrimination between the species can be made : - 1. Convex - concave mid rib : - that was showed in E.helioscopia, E.macrocarpa, E.milii and M.annua.2. Convex - convex : - This type was found in three species C.tinctoria , Euphorbia sp.and R. comminus3. Flat - Convex : - This type of mid rib was observed in A.telephioides E.microsphaera, E.peplus and E.prostrata4. Flat - Flat : - This type was observed in only one species E.denticulata In stem, the most prominent parts of taxonomic evidence were pith and vascular bundles.In according to the pith, species can be divided into hollow stem (without pith) and solid stem (containing medulla good configuration). Hollow stem was clear in the stems of A.telephioides , E.microsphaera , E.prostrata and M.annua. While, the solid stem wasseen in the remaining species. Vascular bundles were existed in two types; that's connected vascular bundles that's characterized the hollow stems, and separate vascular bundles. In most of the species with the exception of M. annua, stem with scatteredvascular bundles were in cortex As well as, petiole which have features that a clear taxonomy values .either by outline of petiole or its vascular arc.Micro - morphological studies of epidermal layer of leaves showed very important taxonomical value. This layer of leaves reveals variation in shape of ordinary epidermal cell and nature of anticline cell wall, stomata complexes and Epicuticlular wax crystals.Micro - morphological of pollen was taxonomic evidence as well. It can be considered to divide the species of Euphorbiaceae family into two groups based on the number of germination apertures 1 - Hexocorporate : - this type was confined to C.tinctoria2 - Tricolporate all species studied remainingThe sculpture of pollen wall provided beneficial information invested in the species identification.Both seeds and fruits showed a distinctive role in species identification. Micromorophological study of seeds for species which belong to six genera Andrachne , Chrozophora, Euphorbia, Mercurialis , Phyllanthus and Ricinus were achieved by using Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM). The study concentrated on micro - morphological aspect of Caruncle, seed surface ornamentation and the shape of epidermial cell wall. The result revealed that most studied species were with carunclated seeds ,but some specieswere with ecarunclated seeds as in A.telephioides L. ,C. tinctoria( L) Raf , E.prostrata Atin and P. maderaspatensis L Seed surface ornamentation characteristics showed a significant taxonomical value.Furthermore, current result showed that there are a highly variation in shape, size and color of the seeds walls. With respect to the fruits characteristics, which showed variations in number of mercarpi, shape, size, color and surface ornamentation that can be adopted in the separation of the species studied Molecular study provided significant support for phenotypic and anatomical classification and support genetic convergence between the species in Euphorbiacea family. The genus Euphorbia species showed a significant genetically convergence and participated in predecessors monophyletic. However, the genera in Euphorbiacea family under study probably originated and evolved from different ancestors’ polyphyletic.

Abstract: The present study was carried out during the growing season of 2014 and 2015 in a private orchard in Shatt Al - Arab with the objective of knowing the effect of pollination 1, 2, 4 and 8 day from opening of female spathes, source of pollen (Ghannami Akhder and Smasmii) and by passing pollination process by spraying unpollinated flowers with the growth regulators and ethephon on certain aspects of the physiology and anatomy of date palm fruits cvs. Hillawi and Sayer. The results may be summarized as follows : 1 - The date pollination had no effect on fruit growth curve, but had a significant effect on length of the khalal stage which was 22, 18, 16 and 15 days for the cv. Hillawi and 24, 20, 18 and 17 days for the cv. Sayer, for the pollination dates 1, 2, 4, and 8 from opening of female spathes. The fruits of Hillawi and Sayer cultivars entered the tamr stage after 19 and 20 weeks from pollination respectively.2 - Fruits produced from flowers pollinated 8 days from opening during the khalal stage was superior in all physical characteristics of the fruit, with the exception of seed weight, which had its highest weight during the first date of pollination, however therewere no significant differences in fruit for both growing seasons, fruits of the cv.Hillawi had the highest values of physical characteristics in cooperation with those of Sayer cv.3 - As for Chemical characteristics of the fruits, the fourth pollination date (8 days from flower opening) gave a significantly highest value of total soluble solids, total sugars and dry matter. The highest values for reducing sugars was recorded during the second date of pollination( 2 days after female spathes opening), fruits of athe cv. Hillawi had the highest values for all those chemical constituents with its highest value with fruit of Sayer cv. 4 - These was significant difference of the unpollinated flowers in free amino acid and soluble proteins content, The second date of pollination gave the highest concentration of free amino acids 3.269mg.g - 1, whereas the fourth pollination date gave the highest1.856mg.gP - 1 P . As for the date of sampling , the fruits record during the third date ( 5 days after pollination) had the highest concentration of both free amino acids and soluble proteins, fruits of the cv. Hillawi had a significantly high concentration of both chemical constituents in comparison with fruits of the Sayer cv.5 - The results showed, that there were significant difference in the concentration of both auxin and cytokinins of the flowers ،422.5 271.5, where the second date of pollination gave the highest concentration of both hormones in the flowers, the date of sampling after pollination, had no effect on the concentration of auxins. however, the third sampling date( 5 days from pollination) had the highest of cytokinins in young fruits cv. Hillawi had the highest values with fruit of Sayer cv. .6 - The fourth date of pollination had the highest percentage ripening whereas the second date of pollination gave the highest fruit set percentage bunch weight during the rutab stage. Fruits of the cv. Hillawi was superior with respect to percentage fruit set, percentage fruit ripening, bunch weight as compared with fruits of the cv. Sayer. As for the effect of pollen source7 - The pollen source had no effect on fruit growth curve, but had a significant effect on the length of the khalal stage, the length of the klalal stage for fruit produced by the pollen Ghannami Akhdar wasb18 and 21 days for fruits of the cvs.Hillawi and Sayer respectively, whereas the length of the khalal stage for fruits produced the Smasmii pollen was 21 and 25 days for both cultivars respectively.8 - Fruit pollinated by Ghannami Akhdar had the highest values for the physical characteristics, as compared with fruits produced by the pollen Smasmii the pollen source Ghannami Akhdar recorded.9 - the highest values for total soluble solids and dry matter, whereas the pollen source Smasmii gave the highest value for the water content and total acidity. Fruit of the cv. Hillawi had the highest value for those chemical constituents as compared with fruits of the cv. Sayer.10 - As for sugars, the increase in reducing and total sugars was slow during early stage of fruit growth, thereafter, there was a rapid increase in sugars which reached its highest values during the 18 the week from pollination. For sucrose, its content in the fruit was at its highest during the 16 th week from pollination. Fruit produced by the pollen source Ghannami Akhdar had a significantly higher content of reducing and total sugars as well as sucrose. Fruits of the cv. Hillawi had a significantly higher sugars as compared with fruits of the Sayer cultivar.11 - As for changes in the activity of the enzymes invertase and cellulose the activity was low during early stage of fruit growth, and the highest level of activity was recorded during the 16 th week from pollination for both enzymes, for fruits of both cultivars. However, the activity of both invertase and cellulose was high for fruits of the Hillawi cv.2093, 787.7 As compared with fruits Sayer.12 - As for auxins, the concentration was in unpollinated female flowers. Fruits produced by the pollen Ghannami Akhdar had the highest concentration of auxins397.3 as compared with fruitscproduced by the pollen source Smasmii, the fifth sampling date( 7 days from pollination) gave the highest auxin concentration of young fruits. The unpollinated flowers of the cv. Hillawi had a significantly higher concentration of auxins as compared with those of the Sayer cv.13 - The study of embryogenesis of female flowers have shown that the process of fertilization took place after 2 days for flowers of Hillawi and Sayer pollinated by the pollen source Ghannami Akhdar, whereas fertilization took place after three days for flowers pollinated with pollen source Smasmii. However, the cv. Hillawi was superior in those characters as compared with the sayer cv.14 - The pollen source also, had a significant effect on percentage fruit set and fruit ripening, bunch weight as compared with fruits produced by the pollen Smasmii. However, fruits of the cv. Hillawi was a significantly superior, in those characteristics.15 - As for the by passing of the process of pollination by treating unpollinated flower with gibberellic acid and ethephon, such treatments had no effect on fruit growth curve, for both cultivars.16 - As for anatomical characteristic of parthenocarpic fruits not treated with gibberellic acid and ethephon(control), it gave the highest number of layers of exocarp, hypodermis and stone cells. The seeded fruits had the highest thickness of the inner mesocarp. Fruits of the cv. Sayer was superior with respect to thickness of the exocarp cells, hypodermis and stone cells, outer and inner mesocarp and tannin cells 259.6, 117.9, 117.8, 810.0, 3734, 773 μm Also, there were a change in the number as the Sayer cv 630.0mmPP. Had the highest number of cells as compared with fruits of the cv.Hillawi. The Hillawi showed the highest width of cells 72.5 μm, as compared with the cv. Sayer, but there were no difference in cell length. The control treatment gave the highest number of cells in pith tissues of parthenocarpic fruit, whereas the seeded fruit gave the highest length and width of cells.17 - treatment with gibberellic acid and ethephon had a significant effect on chemical characteristics of the parthenocarpic fruits treatment with 200mg.l - 1 +1000mg.l - 1 ethephon, caused a significant increase in total sugars and reducing, total soluble solids, and ripening percentage 56.09, 47.97, 59.09, 23.09% for parthenocarpic fruits of both cultivars Hillawi and Sayer. e

Abstract: تؤدي اللواصق دورا مهما في تصنيع المنتجات الخشبية ولاسيما معامل الالواح الحبيبية المضغوطة، وتكون هذه اللواصق عادة بين لواصق فينولية وامينية ، حيث تستخدم غالبا لواصق اليوريافورمالديهايد والميلامين فورمالديهايد . ان استعمال اللواصق التانينية في انتاج الواح خارجية الاستخدام مقاومة للظروف الجوية نال قبولا متزايدا من النواحي الصناعية والتقنية خلال العقود الخمسة الماضية بعد ارتفاع اسعار اللواصق التركيبية المستخرجة من المشتقات البترولية . ان اغلب تراكيب التانين المستخدمة صناعيا لحد الان تعتمد على التانينات المتعددة الفلافونويد من نوع الريسورسينول كتانين الواتل (مستخلص الميموزا التجاري) والكوبراكو .وحققت هذه المركبات نجاحا متقدما عند احلالها محل اللواصق التركيبية في البلدان التي تنتج التانينات لانخفاض تكاليفهواافضليتها بيئيا.وفي هذه الدراسة التي اجريت في العراق استخدمت مستخلصات التانين من قلف بعض الاشجار الرئيسة النامية في شمال العراق وهي صنوبر زاويتا (Ten. Pinus brutia) وبلوط الاكل ( L. Quercus aegilops ) لواصق في انتاج الالواح الحبيبية المضغوطة .وقد تضمنت الدراسة مرحلتين : المرحلة الاولى تتعلق بخطوات الاستخلاص المختبري والصناعي . ففي القسم الاول تم استخلاص التانينات مختبريا بثلاث درجات من النقاوة باستخدام ثلاث طرق تتابعية للاستخلاص. وقد اظهر الفحص المختبري لقلف نوعي الاشجار العراقية المذكورين انفا اظهر وجود كميات مناسبة من المستخلصات التانينية وبانتاج كاف حيث كانت نسبة المحتوى من التانين هي (15.3 ، 12.65٪ ) للصنوبر والبلوط على التوالي. فضلا عن فاعليتها في الانتاج التجاري والتطبيقي من اللواصق التانينية الملائمة للمنتجات الخشبية. ان طبيعة هذه التانينات والمركبات التي تحتويها تم تحديدها باستخدام تقنية كروماتوغرافيا الطبقة الرقيقة لتشخيص مختلف المركبات وفصلها عن بعضها ، حيث تضمنت تانينات صنوبر بروتيا المركبات التانينية{( - )gallocatechin, ( - )catechin, ( - )epicatechin, (+)afzelechin} ومن تانينات بلوط الاكل المركبات التانينية{( - )catechin, ( - )epicatechin, (+)afzelechin, ( - )epiafzelechin, gallic acid, phloroglucinol, ( - )gallocatechin, ellagic acid} . ويتبين من هذه المركبات ان تانينات الصنوبر متكونة بصورة رئيسة من التانينات المتكثفة وبعض التانينات المتحللة في حين كانت تانينات البلوط متكونة بصورة رئيسة من التانينات المتحللة وبعض التانينات المتكثفة على شكل خليط معقد منهما. اما القسم الثاني من المرحلة الاولى فقد تضمن انتاج مستخلص التانين الصناعي من كلا النوعين من القلف باستخدام طريقة الاستخلاص المائي وباستعمال الهاضم البخاري ، ثم اضيف 0.25٪ من كل من sodium sulphite وsodium bisulphit لزيادة ثباتية المستخلص لحين الاستخدام ، وجرى بعدها تركيز المستخلص في جهاز التركيز البخاري للحصول على مستخلص بتركيز 50٪ من المواد الصلبة ، بعدها اصبح المستخلص جاهزا لتصنيع الالواح في المرحلة اللاحقة . وفي المرحلة الثانية من الدراسة صنعت الالواح بالمواصفات المختبرية ، وقد سبق تصنيع الالواح اجراء عملية كبرتة ومثيلة المستخلص المركز باستخدام 10٪ من مادة بارافورمالديهايد بوصفها مادة مصلبة واجريت الاختبارات على زمن تكون الهلام Gel - time وزمن التشغيل Pot - life وعند مختلف قيم الـ pH ، وظهر ان افضل زمن لتكون الهلام هو 7 دقائق عند pH( 5.5) ، حددت في ضوئها مدة الكبس الحار . ونظرا لاحتواء المستخلصات على نسبة من المواد غير التانينية التي تؤثر سلبا في مواصفات اللاصق ، فقد جرت تقوية مستخلص التانين باللاصق التركيبي يوريافورمالديهايد وبعدة نسب من الخلط لضمان مشاركته لعملية بلمرة التانين وتقويض دور المواد غير التانينية . صنع 180 لوحا حبيبيا بالمقياس المختبري (35×30×1.8 سم ) بمستويين من مصادر التانين ( صنوبر بروتيوا بلوط الاكل ) وخمسة مستويات من نسب الخلط تانين : يوريافورمالديهايد ( 100 : 0 ، 75 : 25 ، 50 : 50 ، 25 : 75 ، 0 : 100 ) وبمستويين من درجات حرارة المكبس (170 ، 190 م ) وثلاثة مستويات من فترات الكبس ( 8 ، 10 ، 15 دقيقة ) . صنعت الالواح تحت ضغط ( 1250 باوند / انج2 ) وبمحتوى من اللاصق 10٪ (بالاعتماد على وزن الحبيبات المجففة بالفرن و50٪ من المواد الصلبة للمستخلص ) للوصول الى كثافة اللوح (0.6 غم /سم3) بسمك (18ملم). ان الصفات الميكانيكية والفيزيائية فحصت طبقا للطرائق القياسية لـ2559 ASTM (1961) . اظهرت النتائج بان الصفات الميكانيكية للالواح (معاملي الكسر والمرونة وقوة التماسك) المصنعة بلاصق تانين الصنوبر كانت افضل من المصنعة بلاصق تانين البلوط. كما اظهرت النتائج امكانية تقوية اللواصق التانينية باليوريافورمالديهايد عند نسبة تانين الصنوبر25 - 50٪ ونسبة تانين البلوط 25٪. وكان لدرجة حرارة المكبس (190 م) الاثر في تحسين صفات الالواح الميكانيكية ولاسيما عند مدة الكبس (10 دقائق)، اذ بلغ اعلى معامل كسر (160.45 و149.75 كغم/سم2) واعلى معامل مرونة (11339.7 و10883.7 كغم/سم2) واعلى قيمة لقوة التماسك (7.33 و6.06 كغم/سم2) للالواح المصنعة بتانين الصنوبر وتانين البلوط على التوالي، وان الالواح المذكورة اجتازت قيم الواح المقارنة ولاقت المواصفات الامريكية 2559 ASTM (1961). كما اظهرت فحوصات الصفات الفيزيائية (النسبة المئوية لامتصاص الماء والانتفاخ بالسمك والتمدد الطولي) سلوك التانينات، والفورمالديهايد ومحتوى المستخلصات من الشمع بالنسبة للصنوبر والاسترات بالنسبة للبلوط بوصفها مواد طاردة للماء. وتساوى النوعان تقريبا في تحسين الصفات الفيزيائية للالواح المصنعة. اذ اظهرت النتائج امكانية تقوية اللواصق التانينية باليوريافورمالديهايد عند نسبة تانين الصنوبر 25 - 75 ٪ ونسبة تانين البلوط 25 - 50 ٪ وكان لدرجتي حرارة المكبس الاثر في خفض المحتوى الرطوبي وزيادة مقاومة الالواح لامتصاص الماء فضلا عن ثباتية ابعادهوالاسيما عند مدة الكبس الاطول 15 دقيقة. اذ بلغت اقل نسبة امتصاص (59.971 و60.566 ٪) في الالواح المصنعة بتانين الصنوبر وتانين البلوط على التوالي عند نسبة التانين 25٪ ودرجة حرارة 170 م ومدة كبس 15 دقيقة ، وبلغت اقل نسبة للانتفاخ بالسمك (18.204 ٪) في الالواح المصنعة بتانين الصنوبر بنسبة 50٪ ودرجة حرارة 190 م ومدة كبس 8 دقائق وبلغت (18.904 ٪) في الالواح المصنعة بتانين البلوط بنسبة 25٪ ودرجة حرارة 170 م ومدة كبس 15 دقيقة ، وبلغت اقل نسبة للتمدد الطولي (0.05 ٪) في الالواح المصنعة بتانين البلوط بنسبة 50٪ ودرجة حرارة 190 م ومدة كبس 15 دقيقة و(0.14 ٪) في الالواح المصنعة بتانين الصنوبر بنسبة 25٪ ودرجة حرارة 170 م ومدة كبس نفسها .وبصورة عامة يمكن اجمال نتائج هذا العمل ، بامكانية استخدام المستخلصات المائية لقلف اشجار صنوبر زاويتوابلوط الاكل بعد سلسلة من خطوات التحوير الكيميائي لها كلاصق في صناعة الالواح الحبيبية المضغوطة الملائمة للاستخدامات الخارجية لمتانتهوامقاومتها للرطوبة. | Adhesives play an important role in the manufacture of wood - based products specially in particleboard mills. The resins manufactured are usually the range of amino and phenolic resins. For particleboards, only urea - formaldehyde and melamine urea - formaldehyde resins are being utilized.The use of tannin adhesives for manufacture of exterior grade weatherproof panel products has been gaining increasing industrial and technical acceptance during the last 50 years. All the formulations used industrially up to now have been based on the use of resorcinolic - type polyflavonoid tannins such as wattle (mimosa extract of commerce) and quebracho. These products have been progressively displacing synthetic adhesives in countries where these tannins are produced due to their lower cost and excellent performance. In this study tannin extracts from the bark of two main species grown in the northern part of Iraq ( Pinus brutia and Quercus aegilops ) were used as adhesives for particleboards production . The study involved two parts, the first part delt with the processes of extraction in laboratory scale and commercially. In laboratory, tannins were extracted with three degrees of purity by using three different sequences. In summary the two Iraqi trees examined appeared to have barks that are suitable for the production of tannin extracts in sufficient yield, with a high tannin content ( 15.3 ; 12.65 %) in Pinus brutia and Quercus aegilops respectively , and more than adequate reactivity to commercial and technically viable tannin - adhesives for wood products.The nature and the compounds included in these tannins were confirmed by TLC technique the identified compounds isolated from Pinus brutia bark tannins were {( - ) catechin, ( - ) epicatechin, ( - ) gallocatechin, (+)afzelechin } and from Quercus aegilops bark tannins were {gallic acid , phloroglucinol , ellagic acid, ( - ) gallocatechin, ( - ) catechin, ( - ) epicatechin, ( - ) epiafzelechin, (+) afzelechin}. It appeared that, Pinus tannins were mainly consist of condensed type with some hydrolysable type compounds while in Quercus tannin compounds were mainly of hydrolysable type and some of condensed type as a complex mixture. In the second stage of this part, tannins extracted in al large scale with aqueous extraction by the digester, 0.25% of sodium sulphite and sodium bisulphite were added to the extracts in order to increase their stability untile use . Then the whole extract of each bark species concentrated to 50% solid content, the extracts were ready to be used for manufacturing of panels in the later section of this study.In the second part panels were manufactured at laboratory scale. Prior to panels manufacturing the concentrated extracts were methylated by 10% of Para formaldehyde as a hardener at extracts pH of 5.5. The gel time and pot life were determined experimentally for the two extracts.Because of the existence of non - tannins compounds, the T - F extracts were mixed with urea - formaldehyde (UF) in different percentages for fortifying the T - F polymer. 180 panels of laboratory scale particleboards were manufactured at two levels of tannin sources (Pinus brutia and Quercus aegilops) , five levels of mixing percentages of tannin : UF namely ( 100 : 0 ; 75 : 25 ; 50 : 50 ; 25 : 75 and 0 : 100 ), two levels of press temperature (170 ; 190 °C ) ,three levels of press time ( 8 ; 10 ; 15 ) , each treatment was replicated three times. The panels were manufactured under pressure of 1250 psi , 10 % resin content ( based on oven dry weight of the chips and 50% solid content of extracts ) were used to get a target density of 0.6 gm/cm3 at panel thickness 18 mm . The physical and mechanical properties of produced panels were tested according to ASTM standard 2559 (1961). The results showed that Pinus brutia tannins get better mechanical properties (MOR, MOE and IB) of panels than Quercus aegilops and, it appeared that there is a possibility of fortifying tannin adhesives and getting better properties by using urea - formaldehyde with 25 - 50 % Pinus brutia tannins and 25 % with Quercus aegilops tannins. Press temperature (190° C) also improved the mechanical properties of panels, at 10 minutes pressing time. The highest values of MOR were (160. 45, 159.75 kg \ cm2), of MOE were (11339.7, 10883.7 kg \ cm2) and of IB were (7.33, 6.06 kg \ cm2), for Pinus brutia tannins and Quercus aegilops tannins respectively obtained at 190° C and 10 minutes pressing time. The panels were close in their mechanical properties to the values mentioned in ASTM 2559. With regard to the physical properties of panels (water absorption, thickness swelling and linear expansion percentage) revealed tannins behaviour, formaldehyde and wax content for pine and esters for oak as hydrophobic materials. Both types were equal in improving the physical properties of the panels. It is noticed that fortifying tannin adhesives by urea formaldehyde at 25 - 75 % of Pinus brutia tannins and 25 - 50 % of Quercus aegilops tannins a better results can be obtained. Press temperature reduced moisture content and increased panel resistance to water absorption at 15 minutes pressing. The lowest water absorption % were (59.971 and 60.566%) in panels produced from Pinus brutia tannins and Quercus aegilops tannins respectively both at 25 % tannin, 170° C and 15 minutes pressing. The lowest thickness swelling was 18.204 % in panels with Pinus brutia tannins at 50 %, 190° C and 8 minutes pressing time. As for Quercus aegilops tannins, the lowest thickness swelling was (18.904 %) in panels at 25 %, 170° C and 15 minutes pressing time. The lowest linear expansion was (0.05 %) in panels with Pinus brutia tannins at 50 %, 190° C and 15 minutes pressing time, and 0.14 % for panels made from Quercus aegilops tannins at 25 %, 170 ° C and 15 minutes pressing time. The results of this work can be summarized that there is a possibility of using aqueous extract from the bark of Pinus brutia trees and Quercus aegilops trees after chemical modification as a binder in particleboard production. The results also showed that there is an ability to substitute 25 - 50 % of synthetic adhesives by Pinus brutia tannins and by 25 % of Quercus aegilops tannins, at 190 °C press temperature and press time 10min. A good hydrophobicity appeared in the panels, because of the existence of tannins, formaldehyde, and wax content

Abstract: Present study was conducted in the Plant Tissue Culture Laboratory, Agriculture Collage, Basrah University, Basrah , Iraq, in the period 2012 - 2014. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of growth retardant (paclobutrazol) and casein hydrolysate on somatic embryogenesis formation and germination in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultured in vitro. The shoot tip explants were excised from offshoots that approximately 3 - 4 years old. Shoot tip explants then cut it in four segments and each segment cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium containing different concentrations of paclobutrazoal (0, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 and 1.0 mg/L) or casein hydrolysate (0, 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 mg/L).Results obtained in this study can be summarized to : 1 - Study showed that the MS medium containing pacloputrazol (1.0 mg/L) or casein hydrolysate (1000 mg/L) increased in fresh and dry weight of primary callus and embryogenic callus comparing to control treatment.2 - Primary and embryogenic callus cultured on MS medium fortified with 1.0 mg/L paclobutrazol for a long period showed superiority in fresh and dry weight compared with other treatments and control.3 - The period need it for somatic embryo formation was decreased to (17 and 20.33 days) when the embryogenic callus with 0.5 and 0.7 mg/L of paclobutrazol respectively. Results also revealed that the numbers of white and big spherical somatic embryos were appeared when high concentrations of paclobutrazol 1mg/L and casein hydrolysate (1000 mg/L) have been used.4 - The rate of somatic embryos length were increased when the concentration of casein hydrolysate increased to 1000 mg/L. In contrast, length rate of somatic embryos were decreased when treated with paclobutrazol.5 - High fresh and dry weight of somatic embryo were recorded on MS medium containing (0.9 and 1 mg/L) of paclobutrazol.6 - The high germination rate of somatic embryos was obtained on MS medium containing 0.3 and 0.5 mg/L paclobutrazol or MS medium enriched with 800 and 1000 mg/L in short time in comparing with other treatments.7 - Among the different concentrations of paclobutrazol tested, 0.3 and 0.5 mg/L were the most effective concentrations for increase the length of leaf and primary roots, but the 0.7mg/L and 0.9 led to increase root numbers only, whereas the high concentration of paclobutrazol 1.0mg/L increased the length of leaf and decreased the rate of roots. In contrast the high concentrations of casein hydrolysate (800 and 1000 mg/L) affected positively on leaf and root length.8 - Embryogenic callus tissue subjected to 1.0 mg/L paclobutrazol, containing high carbohydrate, whereas, embryogenic callus treated with 0.5 and 0.7 of paclobutrazol containing high protein. In contrast, embryogenic callus tissue treated with different concentrations of casein hydrolysate containing high carbohydrate and protein.9 - Histological study revealed that the high concentration of paclobutrazol reduced the size of cells in compare with control treatment.

H.europaeum L., H.lasiocarpium Fisch., H.noeanum Boiss., H.ramosissi | The current research study is a comparative morphological, anatomical, chemical, genetical of the genus Heliotropium in mid and north of Iraq between eight species belonging to the genus of the family Boraginaceae, and the study included some morphological characteristic of the roots, stems, leaves, flowers (calyx, corolla, stamens, pistils), inflorescence, fruits and pollen grain shows that there are clear differences between the species under study. The study included aspects of anatomy and the differences included the qualities of epidermis leaf and stem and stomata as well as study transverse sections of roots, stems, leaves and petiole and peduncle, fruits, Nutlets and seeds, also studied the system of Venation in the leaf where he studied the type of venation as well as study the direction of midrib, thickness, branching as well as the study of secondary veins, Arrangement, Aerioles and Veinlets that showed clear differences between species.The study showed that pollen grains in the species are Tricolporate in all species except H.bacciferum it contains four grooves and pollen grains of contain Psaudotricolporate found in all species except H.lasiocarpium was completely absent of false grooves have distinguished this species by this character, showed the study of pollen grain Psaudotetracolporate in species H.bacciferum only and did not appear in the rest of the species. the study noted that there are variations evident in the two axes equatorial and polar as well as in the length of the groove, width, the rate of the thickness of the wall of pollen grain, the rate of diameter germination aperture in all species. The study showed clear difference between species in dimensions of upper and lower epidermis leaf, as well as a study stomata index on the surfaces of upper and lower leaves where show that all species were the lower surface more than the upper surface in density of stomata and Trichomes were studied in all parts of plants under study it was observed that there is variation in the distribution of hair and their locations as well as the lengths of hairs and thickness of the walls and shape of apex and base. Studied species in pathway of photosynthesis showed that two species are C4 plants H.noeanum, H.suaveolens either species H.bacciferum, H.ramosissimum, H.lasiocarpium was belong of intermediate C3 - C4 species while the rest were from C3 plants after analysis qualities and similarities of these qualities were very important to isolate the species from each other because present of bundle sheath, thickness of leave in cross section, thickness of cuticle, thickness of chlorenchyma and collenchymas tissues, frequency of stomata and it distribution, the number of aerioles and veinlets density and size. Has also been studying the chemical content of alkaloids and found that there are six alkaloids isolated for the first time from inflorescences for plants belonging to the genus Heliotropium were isolated using the technique liquid chromatography for identified six alkaloids compounds (indicine and supinine, indicine - N - oxide, heleurine, heliotrine and lindelofidine), which included the study of compounds Alkaliods type, concentration and percentage and the pyrrolizidine alkaloids that have a biological importance of cure tumors and cancers. The study showed high percentage of heliotrine in four species of Heliotropium H.bacciferum, H.ramosissimum, H.europaeum, H.noeanum were (48%, 54%, 51%, 54%) while heleurine was high percentage in two species H.suaveolens, H.supinum were (33%, 56%), while the study showed lower percentage of indicine - N - oxide in three species H.ramosissimum, H.noeanum, H.supinum were (2%, 4%, 1%). The current research identified for the first time on the content of the Glycosides from inflorescences in eight species of Heliotropium from mid and north of Iraq. These species are H.bacciferum, H.ellipticum H.europaeum, H.lasiocarpium, H.noeanum, H.ramosissimum, H.suaveolens, H.supinum by using the liquid phase chromatography diagnosis of six compounds (heliotrope, isopyrrolidine, isorhamnetin, naringenin, quercetein, triterpene) results showed that plant species studied vary their content of these compounds, with absent of naringenin in the species H.noeanum while absent of triterpene in species H.ellipticum, H.europaeum, H.supinum. They also showed the studied differences in concentrations glycosides and percentage of species as shown H.europaeum, H.lasiocarpium, H.noeanum, H.ramosissimum, H.supinum, H.suaveolens lower concentrations (12 - 37 mg / ml) and percentages (1 - 9%) for quercetein compared to the rest of the species studied and the species H.europaeum, H.lasiocarpium, H.noeanum, , H.supinum, H.suaveolens were higher concentrations (99 - 442 mg / ml) and percentages (26 - 51 %) for heliotrope compared to other species.

Abstract: اجريت الدراسة في كل من مزرعة العرهون التابعة لقسم وقاية النبات - كلية الزراعة ومختبرات قسم علوم الحياة - كلية التربية للعلوم الصرفة في جامعة تكريت خلال المدة 1/9/2013 - 10/6/2014 تضمنت دراستين الاولى تم فيها تقدير تاثير اضافات متنوعة من المدعمات الكاربو | The study was conducted in each of the Al - Mushroom farm in Department of plant protection, College of Agriculture and the laboratories of Biology Department - College of Education for Pure Science at the University of Tikrit for a duration of 1/9/2013 to June 2014. The first studies were included the adding of carbon, nitrogen and other additives at casing period on productivity, quality characteristics and chemical composition of Agaricus bisporus mushroom. The results showed significant increased (p<0.05) in total production and biological efficiency when adding carbon supplement at 1% of starch and became 26.41 kg/m2 and 88.03% respectively, also with nitrogen supplement at 1% from Erbil feed (EF) that’s became at 23.20 kg/m2 and 77.33% respectively, compared with the same value in control group which at 21.68 kg/m2 and 72.26% respectively. Also both treatments were recorded earlier in production at 15 and 16 days after casing compared with 18 days in a control, while the qualitative characterizes has been the treatment of 3% from methionine the highest content of total antioxidants and became at 1975 µg/g dry weight compared to the 1572 µg/g dry weight in the control treatment, and the highest protein content was became at 40.32% in treatment of 1% of LB compared with 22.36% of their content in the control treatment. The treatment of 1% of EF was recorder as higher content from mineral of calcium, magnesium and iron at 390, 2574, 50.74 µg/g dry weight compared to the content in the control group at 290, 1683 and 37.64 µg/g respectively, and the treatment of sodium selenite 5% was recordes a higher content of selenium at 5.00 µg/g compared to the control treatment which at 4.00 µg/g dry weight. The treatment of EF also recorded a higher copper content at 108.60 µg/g dry weight compared to the control treatment which at 37.00 µg/g. The other study was apply to assessment the effects of replacing casein at 5, 10 and 15% by the Agaricus bisporus product from the treatments with starch and multi - vitamin and EF on some growth and physiological parameters in female rats feding for 28 days. The results showed that the presence of mushroom in food has caused a significant decline in weight. The present of mushroom powder at 5% in rats feed lead to significant increasing in hemoglobin and total account of RBC resulting in 12.53 and 6.36× 106 cell/mm3, 13.13 and 7.06× 106 cell/mm3, 7.36× 106 cell/mm3 for starch, multivitamins and EF, respectively, compared to 12.25 and 6.8× 106 cell/mm3, respectively. As well as the significant increased in the total counts of white blood cells that were at 5.50, 5.20 and 5.00 x 103 cells/mm3, respectively, with the starch, and at 5.70, 5.40 and 5.20 x 103 cells/mm3, respectively, with multivitamins and at 5.90, 5.50 and 5.40 x 103 cells/mm3, respectively, for the EF group compared with the control group were at 5.15 x 103 cell/mm3. also was significant increased in differential WBCs as lymphocytes with increasing the replacing percentage for treatments above. Also due the replace of casein by mushroom on proportions referred to in the above change in blood biochemicals parameters which significant decreased in urea, total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoproteins and increase the concentration of high density lipoproteins, as well as reduced the activity of enzymes Alanine amino transferase (AST), Aspartic amino transferase (ALT) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) with increasing the percentage of replacing. As for the effect of replacing the same proportions of the mushroom instead of casein on growth and physiological characteristics of female rats with experimental diabetes induced by Alloxan and fed for 17 days. The results showed that the development of diabetes trial led to a reduction in the rate of animal weights and an increase in the relative weight of internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys of infected sugar group, and became at 0.46, 4.39, 0.60, 0.46 and 1.19 g/100 g respectively when compared with the control animals, at 4.07, 0.42, 0.39, 0.23 and 1.04 g/100 g, respectively. And decreased of red blood cells that were at 5.93 x 106 cells/mm3, respectively, for the group affected by diabetes, while at 7.36 x 106 cells/mm3 respectively the healthy control group. And decreased WBCs in the infected animals with diabetes trial and became at 4.83 x 106 cells/mm3 compared with the healthy control group which at 7.03 x 103 cells/mm3. Also there was caused in significant increased in glucose concentration, which was on the first, 7th, 14th, and 17th days at 428, 405, 431.60 and 432.20 mg/100 ml respectively, in comparison with a control without diabetis that was at 123.33, 124.66, 126.33 and 125.33 mg/100 ml, respectively. Further to increased concentrations of urea, cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoproteins and a decrease in the values of high density lipoproteins also, increased the values of enzymes activity of each Alanine amino transferase(ALT), Aspartic amino transferase (AST) and Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) compared with the non - diabetic infected control group. That feeding female rats of experimental diabetes on the replacement rates of the mushroom instead of casein in their diet has led to the significant decline of the weight and relative weight of internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, pancreas and kidneys compared with animals infected with the induced diabetes with increasing rates of substitution. The results also showed that increased in total counts of red and white blood cells that was at 6.40 x 106 cell/mm3 and 5.00 x 103 cell/mm3 respectively when replacing 5% casein from mushroom compared to the infected control group were at 5.93 x 106 cell/mm3 and 4.83 x 103 cell/mm3 respectively. The substitution of casein with 5, 10 and 15% from mushroom was caused to significantly lower of glucose values to became 273.40, 251.60 and 302 mg/100 ml compared with control group infected which at 432.20 mg/100 ml. Also, because of the found of mushroom in the food was caused a changed in the biochemical blood, which significantly reduced the concentration of urea, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL and increase the concentration of HDL. As well as significantly reduced the enzymes (AST), (ALT) and (ALP) activity with the replacement rate increase compared with values in the animals infected with diabetes induced by Alloxan. The results concluded that the possibilty of use starch and EF at 1% for the commercial mushroom production. Mushroom also can be used as a food for lowering blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyseride, LDL and liver enzymes with increase in HDL for the people suffered from diabetes, obesity and heart diseases.

Tribulus terrestris L.Some of these species have been anatomically investigated for the first time.Anatomical characters might be useful for plant biologist for the identification of important wild plants as an additional character at global level. Comparative anatomical characters were used; such as characteristics of ordinary epidermal cells of stems and leaves and stomatal complexes. The epidermis possesses number of important diagnostic character that offer valuable clues for identification, like size, shape, in addition to indumentum of both stems and leaves. Venation system was investigated and compared. Cross sections of root were useful taxonomically especially the thickness of epidermis, cortex, phloem and xylem. The study observed presence of sclerenchyma tissues in the root cortex of some species. Cross sectioning of stems and petioles were also studied. Epidermis, cortex, pericycle, vascular bundle shapes and numbers, pith characters, presence of crystals and tannin filled cells were useful aid in distinguishing species. Vertical sections of leaf blades, shape and number of vascular bundles, thickness of palisade and spongy layers and other mesophyll characters were important taxonomically.ccording to some of these characters, species were divided into groups. This study concluded the presence of variations in characters and these were presented for the first time comparatively, so that, the anatomical characters were a good support to the exomorphological characters in the studied species. Field photographs of the different studied plants and sections of organs were put in addition to numerous tables in this work. The above results were discussed scientifically regarding mainly the environmental factors.

Abstract: تضمنت الدراسة الحالية عزل وتشخيص طحالب كبيرة من بيئتين مائيتين محليتين مختلفتين. تم عزل ثلاث طحالب كبيرة هي Cladophora glomerata (N) وEnteromorpha rafsii من منطقه بحر النجف في محافظة النجف, في حين عزل Cladophora glomerata (R) من احد مبازل منطقة الراشدية ش | The present study includes isolation and identification of Macro - algae from two different environmental water bodies. Three Macro - algae were isolated, Cladophora glomerata (N) and Enteromorpha ralfsii from Baher Al - Najaf region in Holy Najaf city. In addition, C. glomerata (R) was isolated from Al - Rashdiya, north of Baghdad.Phytopathogenic fungi from soil and some infected fruits were also isolated. They were identified as Pythium ultimum and Rhizoctonia solani.Water and ethanol were used to extract each algae to evaluate their antifungal activity against isolated phytopathogenic fungi. Different concentrations of these algal extracts had been prepared which are (10, 25 and 50) mg/ml and the antagonistic activity against the isolated phytopathogenic fungi were evaluated, the hot and cold water extracts did not show any antagonistic activity against fungi. However, all these extracts were ignored in the future work for this study. Furthermore, the hot ethanolic extract was more efficient than these of cold ethanolic extracts. Results have been shown that there were significant differences when macro - algal ethanolic extract were used.C. glomerata (R), which isolated from Al - Rashdiya, was more efficient against tested fungi than the same alga what isolated from Baher Al - Najaf region. However, E. ralfsii extract was more efficient against tested fungi than C. glomerata (N). Percentage of inhibition against P. ultimum when hot ethanolic extract of E. ralfsii, C. glomerata(R) and C. glomerata(N) were (88.8, 83.3 and 63.3) respectively.However, results for cold ethanolic extract of the same algae were (63.3, 52.2 and 32.2) respectively when 50 mg/ml of algal extracts were used.Percentage of inhibition against R. solani when hot ethanolic extract of E. ralfsii, C.glomerata (R) and C.glomerata(N) were (94.4, 100 and 78.8) respectively.However, results for cold ethanolic extract of the same algae were (66.6, 64.4 and 48.8) respectively when 50 mg/ml was used. According to the difference in biological activities against those phytopathogenic fungi caused by the same species of macro - algae or different genera from different environments. Due to difference in biological activity of the same macro - algae species Physiochemical parameter for each environments obtained such as air and water temperature, Turbidity (NTU), Electrical Conductivity(EC)and Salinity%, Water pH, CA+2 concentration, Mg+2 concentration, Total Hardness and Total Alkalinity. Results indicated that soaked Cucumis sativus and Capsicum annum seeds in cold and hot ethanolic macro - algae extracts of (E. ralfsii, C. glomerata (R) and C.glomerata (N) for 24 hours were able to protect seed germination that have been grown in a Petri dish contaminated with P. ultimum and R. solani comparing with control. In addition, results indicated that spraying C. sativus and C. annum seedling with these algal extracts within two weeks old again protects these seedlings from the same phytopathogenic fungi either before or after 24 hr. However, results indicated that adding the algal extracts within two months age to the C. sativus and C. annum plants again protects these plants from the same phytopathogenic fungi comparing with control and fungicide treatment. Moreover, results indicated that the active chemical compounds in E. ralfsii was Tannins, Saponins and Flavonoids. While C. glomerata was contained Tannins, Saponins, Alkaloid and Phenols. Results indicated that both hot crud methanolic extract of C. glomerata (R) and E. ralfsii have a lot of active chemical compounds against micro - organisms by using the GC - Mass Spectrometry technology.
