Abstract This study was conducted inside the plastic house of the Agricultural Research and Experiment Station of the Agriculture College - University of Kirkuk/Iraq, during the growing season 2020/2021. To study the effect of spraying the growth regulator of benzyl adenine in three concentrations (0, 30, 60) mg.L−1 and licorice root extract in three concentrations (0, 3000, 6000) mg.L−1 on some growth characteristics and chemical content of strawberry plants of Rubygem type. The obtained results were summarized that spraying with a concentration of 60 mg.L−1 of the growth regulator benzyl adenine BA led to a significant superiority in most growth characteristics and chemical content of strawberry plants (leaf area, leaves number, leaves area, dry matter in plant, leaf content of chlorophyll and nitrogen total) where reached (95.81 cm2, 15.78 leaf. plant−1, 1513.93 cm2, 38.68 %, 28.66 %, 3.24 %) respectively. While spraying with concentrations (30 and 60 mg.L−1)of benzyl adenine was significantly superior to the control treatment in the phosphorous and carbohydrates content of leaves. Spraying with a concentration of 6000 mg.L−1 of licorice extract significantly increased in most of the study traits (dry matter in plant, leaf content of chlorophyll, nitrogen, phosphorous and carbohydrates total) where reached (39.06 %, 25.69 mg.g−1, 3.09 %, 0.334 %, 3.38 %) respectively. Spraying with a concentration of 3000 mg.L−1 of licorice was significantly superior in the characteristics of leaf area and Leaves area, which reached (85.08, 1303.18) cm2 respectively.

Abstract This study was carried out in lath house of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering - College of Agriculture - Tikrit University, during the season 2020-2021, as a factorial experiment by spraying with three levels of the growth regulator Brassinolide (BL) which are 0.00, 0.015, 0.025 Mg.L−1 and spraying with nutrient solution PRO-SOL (M) at three concentrations of.000, 200,400. Mg.L−1 to determine the effect of the growth regulator Brassinolide and the nutrient solution PRO-SOL in increasing the chemical content of some nutrients for the two types of navel orange V1 and blood orange V2. The results showed that blood orange V2 was significantly superior to the cultivar Navel V1 in the leaf area amounted to 2991 cm2, the percentage of dry matter in the leaves was 35.39% and the percentage of mineral elements in the leaves was %N, 1.619 %K, 1.37%P, 0.204,. And the best concentration Of Brassinolide 0.025 Mg.L−1 with a concentration of PRO-SOL400 Mg.L−1 has increased the dry matter percentage, leaf area and chemical content of elements for the navel orange variety V1, and the concentration of Brassinolide 0.015 Mg.L−1 with a concentration of PRO-SOL 400 mg.L-1 has increased the dry matter percentage, leaf area and chemical content of elements for blood orange variety V2.

AbstractThe newly emerged coronavirus, which was designated as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the COVID-19 disease. High effective and well-tolerated medication for hospitalized and non-hospitalized patients is urgently needed. Traditional herbal medicine substances were discussed as promising candidates for the complementary treatment of viral diseases and recently suggested for the treatment of COVID-19. In the present study, we investigated aqueous licorice root extract for its neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro, identified the active compound glycyrrhizin and uncovered the respective mechanism of viral neutralization. We demonstrated that glycyrrhizin, the primary active ingredient of the licorice root, potently neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 by inhibiting the viral main protease. Our experiments highlight glycyrrhizin as a potential antiviral compound that should be further investigated for the treatment of COVID-19.

Objective: Gingivitis is a reversible condition associated with a bacterial plaque that resolves in about 1 week after the reinstitution of oral hygiene procedures. If left untreated, may ultimately progress to periodontitis in a subset of individuals. The objective of the study was to evaluate the amelioration of necrosis formation in gingiva by Licorice root extract. The licorice compounds, licoricidin, and licorisoflavan A were the most effective antibacterial substances.Methods: Licorice root extract was prepared by macerating 50 g of dry powder with 100 ml of 70% (w/v) ethyl alcohol for a week. Human gingival fibroblasts were obtained from a commercial source and were maintained in serum-free fibroblast medium as recommended by the manufacturer. The cells were treated with licorice root extract (100 μg/ml) and incubated for 48 h. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were estimated.Result: TNF-alpha levels were raised, and agglutination of CRP was observed in hepatocyte growth factor positive samples whereas after the treatment with licorice root extract the TNF-alpha levels were declined and no agglutination was seen.Conclusion: TNF and CRP levels are raised during necrosis formation. These levels are decreased when treated with licorice root extract. Thus, licorice root extract causes amelioration of necrosis formation in the gingiva.
