BACKGROUND AND AIM: It is required in many young patients that permanent first molars (PFMs) be extracted due to poor prognosis. This study investigates whether the extraction of such teeth is effective on the development of third molars and even their crown and root morphologies.METHODS: A total of 7000 panoramic radiographs were evaluated and 128 radiographs showing a history of extraction of...

Root system development is an important agronomic trait. The right architecture in a given environment allows plants to survive periods of water of nutrient deficit, and compete effectively for resources. Root systems also provide an optimal system for studying developmental plasticity, a characteristic feature of plant growth. This review proposes a framework for describing the pathways regula...

Coordination between the Hertwig’s epithelial root sheath (HERS) and apical papilla (AP) is crucial for proper tooth root development. The hedgehog (Hh) signaling pathway and Nfic are both involved in tooth root development; however, their relationship has yet to be elucidated. Here, we establish a timecourse of mouse molar root development by histological staining of sections, and we demonstra...

D i s s e r t a t i o n zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades d o c t o r r e r u m n a t u r a l i u m ABSTRACT Limitation of immobile nutrients, such as iron (Fe) and phosphate (P), induces the development of additional root hairs that lead to an increase of the absorptive surface of the root. The increased root hair frequency of Fe-and P-deficient Arabidopsis was realized by different strate...

To develop an alternative method for production of sarsasapogenin by plant tissue culture technique and its quantification in Asparagus racemosus and its in vitro cultures using HPTLC. Murashige and Skoog’s (MS) basal medium supplemented with various growth regulators was used for development of shoot and root calli while, hormone free MS medium was used for development of Agrobacterium tumefac...

The root hair development is controlled by diverse factors such as fate-determining developmental cues, auxin-related environmental factors, and hormones. In particular, the soil environmental factors are important as they maximize their absorption by modulating root hair development. These environmental factors affect the root hair developmental process by making use of diverse hormones. These...

Soil compaction of arable land, caused by heavy machinery constitutes a major threat to agricultural soils in industrialized countries. The degradation of soil structure due to compaction leads to decreased (macro-) porosity resulting in increased mechanical impedance, which adversely affects root growth and crop productivity. New crop cultivars, with root systems that are adapted to conditions...

the effects of soil tillage methods and residue management were studied at miandoab agriculure station during 2003-2005. the experiment design was split block with the main plots devoted to residual management strategies (burning residue, crushing residue by disk, no treatment). subplots were tillage methods (moldboard plowing to 20-25 cm in fall, moldboard plowing to 20-25 cm in spring, moldbo...
