Investigating the germination characteristics of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in response to titanium dioxide nanoparticles priming and drought stress
Extended Abstract Introduction: Drought stress, as abiotic and multidimensional stress, has severe effects on plant growth. One of the new approaches in the management of drought stress is the use of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles infilterate the seeds and increase nutrient and water uptake and ultimately, improve germination. The present research was conducted to evaluate the effects of titaniu...
متن کاملInfection of Murine Macrophages by Salmonella enterica Serovar Heidelberg Blocks Murine Norovirus Infectivity and Virus-induced Apoptosis
Gastroenteritis caused by bacterial and viral pathogens constitutes a major public health threat in the United States accounting for 35% of hospitalizations. In particular, Salmonella enterica and noroviruses cause the majority of gastroenteritis infections, with emergence of sporadic outbreaks and incidence of increased infections. Although mechanisms underlying infections by these pathogens h...
متن کاملCorrection: Type I Interferon Receptor Deficiency in Dendritic Cells Facilitates Systemic Murine Norovirus Persistence Despite Enhanced Adaptive Immunity
In order for a virus to persist, there must be a balance between viral replication and immune clearance. It is commonly believed that adaptive immunity drives clearance of viral infections and, thus, dysfunction or viral evasion of adaptive immunity is required for a virus to persist. Type I interferons (IFNs) play pleiotropic roles in the antiviral response, including through innate control of...
متن کاملRecovery of genetically defined murine norovirus in tissue culture by using a fowlpox virus expressing T7 RNA polymerase
Despite the significant disease burden caused by human norovirus infection, an efficient tissue-culture system for these viruses remains elusive. Murine norovirus (MNV) is an ideal surrogate for the study of norovirus biology, as the virus replicates efficiently in tissue culture and a low-cost animal model is readily available. In this report, a reverse-genetics system for MNV is described, us...
متن کاملEffects of Solvent on the Structure and Properties of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles and Their Antibacterial Activity
Titanium dioxide is semiconductor metal oxide having many applications in photocatalytic activities, cosmetics and in the food industry. It exists in three major crystalline forms: anatase, rutile and brookite. The solvents play a major role in the synthesis, stability and morphology of the metal oxide nanoparticles. It affects both the phase and particle size of metal oxide. T...
