The amount of unfrozen water in dormant peach (Prunus persica [L.] Batsch, cv Redhaven) flower buds, isolated primordia, and bud axes was determined during freezing using pulse nuclear magnetic resonance methods. Differential thermal analysis studies were conducted on whole buds and isolated primordia in the presence of ice nucleation. The results showed that some of the water in isolated primo...

Helminthes infections are the most common health problems in India, in developing countries they pose a large treat to public. These infections can affect most population in endemic areas with major economic and social consequences. The miswak is a natural toothbrush made from the twigs of the Salvadora persica (Salvadoraceae). Miswak prevents tooth decay, eliminating toothaches and halt furthe...

Antiviral proteins were isolated, from host plants, following treatment with an antiviral glycoprotein, extracted from the roots of Boerhaavia diffusa plants. It was found to be active against isometric as well as an isometric viruses in their respective hypersensitive and systemic hosts. The biologically active principal was isolated and purified. Estimation of proteins, from the leaf samples ...

BACKGROUND Elastomeric chains are commonly used in orthodontics. Force decay in these materials poses clinical problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three different mouthwashes on the force decay of orthodontic chains. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this experimental study, elastomeric chains with two different configurations were divided into eight groups (two control and ...

Many studies have supported the enemies hypothesis, which suggests that natural enemies are more efficient at controlling arthropod pests in polyculture than in monoculture agro-ecosystems. However, we do not yet have evidence as to whether this hypothesis holds true in peach orchards over several geographic locations. In the two different geographic areas in eastern China (Xinchang a town in t...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The distribution of canopy growth among different shoot types such as epicormic, long and short shoots is not well understood in the peach tree. In this experiment, the effects of crop load and early epicormic sprout removal on current and subsequent-year distribution of vegetative growth among epicormic, long and short shoots was investigated in Prunus persica. METHODS Fi...

years later Perroncito sketched the microbe. Detailed observations were not made 011 t1, disease until 1879-80, when Toussaint demonstrated that a microbe was the cause of the infectivity of the blood, and Pasteur observed that birds, when fed upon the smallest drop of a recent culture of the micro-organism, became infected via the nlimentary canal, and that the infected excreta were a cause of...
