Chemical Growth Regulation of Landscape Groundcovers

Acceptability of Six Candidate Groundcovers to Meadow Voles

Meadow vole food preferences were examined by means of a serie s of two day trials where pairs of plants were offered. Of the six plants tested, three (white clover, red clover, alfalfa) were found to be highly preferred by the voles, one (red fuscue) was acceptable, and two species (myrtle and crownvetch) were unacceptable. The results suggest that the undesirable groundcovers may be used as a...

Landscape of ENaC regulation in the kidney.

AS THE REAL ESTATE MAXIM GOES, “There are three things that matter in property: location, location, location.” The same could be said about epithelial Na channel (ENaC) regulation in the mouse kidney. ENaC is an heteromeric ion channel (comprised of -, -, and -subunits) expressed in the aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN) and provides the final conduit for Na reabsorption from the tubul...

Regulation of Follicular Growth and Development in Sheep

This manuscript reviews the present knowledge related to folliculogenesis in sheep.Folliculogenesis starts with formation of primordial follicles before birth, present as a pool containing a certain number of follicles. By the attainment of puberty, a group of follicles from that pool starts to grow, a process known as primordial follicle activation or recruitment. The number of growing primord...

Drought Stress Impact on Some Biochemical and Physiological Traits of 4 Groundcovers (Lolium Perenne, Potentilla SPP, Trifolium Repens and Frankinia SPP) With Potential Landscape Usage

Stress management is considered as an important factor in nowadays landscape. Therefore this research was conducted using a factorial experiment based on a randomized completely design with regulated deficit irrigation at four levels (100, 75, 50, and 25% of lawn irrigation requirement) and three replicates to evaluate some biochemical and physiological traits on four groundcover plants (Lolium...
