The combination of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in one parent and a restorer gene (Rf) to restore fertility in another are indispensable for the development of hybrid varieties. To genotype rice lines at the restoring fertility (Rf) loci, 38 lines were crossed with a sterile tester (rfrf) line. Pollen fertility test was performed to identify sterile and fertile F1 hybrids. Seven lines were ...

Background: This two-arm, randomized clinical study aimed to compare efficacy between topical Alpha ointment and topical hydrocortisone cream (1%) in the healing of radiation-induced dermatitis in breast cancer patients. Methods: The inclusion criteria comprised newly pathologically proven, locally advanced breast cancer (treated with modified radical mastectomy followed by sequential adjuvant ...

for detection of mild to moderate degrees of malnutrition, mid- arm-head circumference ratio of 458 of low income children of isfahan were studied. the percentage bf children with a mid-arm-head circumference ratio of above 0.310, between 0.310 and 0.280, between 0.279 and 0.250, and less than 0.250 were 31.00, 51.75, 15.28 and 1.97 respectively. a significant correlation was found between the ...
