BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown disparities between Black and Hispanic patients compared with other populations in response to asthma medications. OBJECTIVE The aim of this analysis was to assess the effect of budesonide/formoterol pressurized metered-dose inhaler (BUD/FM pMDI) and BUD on predefined criteria for asthma worsening, an asthma control metric generally aligned with definiti...

In Hydra, head regeneration and bud formation appear to be very similar processes. The fact that there are genes whose expression is specific for one of the two processes suggests that they do not have identical molecular bases. We analyzed the signal transduction pathways regulating bud development using inhibitors of protein kinase C, Src, PI3K and ERK. The four inhibitors reversibly blocked ...

Bud growth in yeast is guided by myosin-driven delivery of secretory vesicles from the mother cell to the bud. We find transport occurs along two sets of actin cables assembled by two formin isoforms. The Bnr1p formin assembles cables that radiate from the bud neck into the mother, providing a stable mother-bud axis. These cables also depend on septins at the neck and are required for efficient...

To determine whether the innervation of taste buds changes during postnatal development, the number of geniculate ganglion cells that innervated single fungiform taste buds were quantified in the tip- and midregions of the tongue of adult and developing rats. There was substantial variation in both the size of individual taste buds and number of geniculate ganglion cells that innervated them. I...

in this research, possibility of bulblet production from different cuttings including leaf, leaf-bud and leafy-stem of lilium oriental hybrid cv. ‘star gazer’ evaluated under different levels of indole-3-butyric acid (iba) with 0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg per liter (ppm). the cuttings were taken from stems which grown from cold treated bulbs in early october. a factorial experiment was done in...

this study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of injection of essential oil of eugenia caryophyllata in the kid horn buds, as a new chemical technique for disbudding. five-day-old healthy goat kids from both sexes (n = 16) were divided randomly into 4 equal groups. in groups 1, 2 and 3, 0.2 ml of clove essence and in group 4 (control) 0.2 ml of normal saline was injected into the left horn ...

background: the purpose of dehorning in cattles is to decrease injuries and increase security in farms. besides breeding managements, different chemical and physical methods are used for dehorning of livestock, depending on their age, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. objectives: this study was performed to evaluate the effects of clove oil on disbudding new born calves following ...

primary bud necrosis in grapevine is a physiological disorder observed in the compound buds. this study was conducted to investigate the anatomical changes in cv. askari grapevine in winter dormant buds. bud samples were taken from askari grapevine at sisakht vineyards, south-western of iran. compound buds were dissected and assessed under a binocular microscope at 10-40x magnification and a di...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Cassava (Manihot esculenta), a major food staple in the tropics and subtropics, thrives even in environments undergoing threatening climate change. To satisfy the increasing demand for crop improvement and overcome the limitations of conventional breeding, the introduction of inbreeding techniques such as the production of doubled haploid lines via androgenesis or gynogenesi...
