Drought impacts on cotton cultivation and production are expected to worsen as a result of global warming water-deficit stress. tolerance indices PCA analysis were used evaluate drought stress responses in eleven genotypes fifteen indices' ability identify drought-tolerant under normal circumstances. Seed yield (Kentar feddan-1) was significantly affected by genotypes, years, their interaction ...

Transforming growth factor-beta2-treated Ag-pulsed APC mimic APC from the immune privileged eye, and provide signals that generate regulatory T (Tr) cells and mediate peripheral tolerance. We postulated that TGF-beta2-treated Ag-pulsed APC (tolerogenic APC (tol-APC)) might also orchestrate regulation of immune mediated pathogenesis in nonimmune privileged tissues such as the lung. We used an ad...

Wietse Tol and colleagues discuss some of the key challenges for implementation of new WHO guidelines for stress-related mental health disorders in low- and middle-income countries. Please see later in the article for the Editors' Summary.

This study assessed screening thresholds for determining workers exposure to toluene (Tol) by urinary Tol (Tol-U) and proposed applicable criteria for on-site settings. Participants' urine samples (n = 21) were collected at the end of the workday during the latter half of a week and the Tol-U concentration was assayed. Simultaneously, each worker's exposure dose to Tol in the breathing zone dur...

in order to evaluation rice cultivars in different irrigation treatment based on sensitive and tolerance indices in rice , an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized completed block design with three replications at rice research institute of iran. main factors were included of five irrigation levels: flooded irrigation (normal treatment), irrigation after banishment, five, e...

to evaluate the agronomic characteristics in three brassica species (rape, indian mustard, and turnip) and to determine the best stress tolerance indices, 16 brassica cultivars were studied under controlled conditions in -0.6 mpa of stress and as well under field (either stressed or irrigated) conditions at the dryland agricultural research station, kermanshah during 2004-05. the results showed...

abstract to determine the effects of different levels of drought stress on yield and yield components of corn hybrids as well as to determine the correlation between the characteristic and yield in different level of stress a experimental study was done in split plot with 15 corn hybrids placed in gharakheil. the main plot was contained different levels of stress(a1:irrigation after 50mm evapor...
