Salinity is a major threat to the yield and productivity of cotton seedlings. In present study, we developed BC 2 F population plants from Gossypium darwinii (5–7) hirsutum (CCRI 12–4) salt-susceptible parents identify salt-resistant candidate genes. The Illumina HiSeq™ strategy was used with bulked segregant analysis. Salt-resistant DNA bulks were pooled by using 30 population. Next-generation...

Salt stress has detrimental effects on the growth and development of rice seedlings. In present study we assessed salt-responsiveness three coastal landraces namely Nona-morchi, Kalihytta Nara. We conducted two factors pot trial that included five genotypes (three candidates landraces, Binadhan-10 as tolerant check BRRI dhan48 sensitive check) against salinity levels e.g., control (tap water), ...

background: iodine deficiency disorders (idd) have been recognized as a major public health problem worldwide. consequences of idd include goiter, hypothyroidism, and intellectual disability followed by retarded growth and development of the brain. this report aimed to determine the state of idd in fars province, south of iran. methods: in this study, we gathered data from all scientific papers...

Fifteen compounds reported to be inhibitors of gelation or sickling were studied by standard methods. These tests included (1) the determination of the solubility of deoxyhemoglobin S or Csat, (2) evaluation of sickling in whole SS blood at various pO2s, (3) measurement of the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin and blood, and (4) examination of red cell indices and morphology. Among the 4 noncovalen...

To investigate the impairment of beta-adrenoceptor responsiveness in human hypertension, we evaluated the effect of an oral salt load (400 mEq/day of NaCl for 7 days) on plasma catecholamine concentrations and beta-adrenoceptor-mediated effects in 11 young patients with mild essential hypertension. Responses of heart rate and plasma cAMP to isoproterenol administration were used as indices of b...

The response surface methodology and central composite rotatable design for K=3 was used to study the combined effect of blanching, soaking and sodium hexametaphosphate salt concentration on moisture, ash, leached solids, phytates, tannins and hardness of bambara groundnut during canning. Regression models were developed to predict the effects of the processing parameters on the studied indices...

Spartina alterniflora, salt marsh cordgrass, is the dominant plant in coastal wetlands along the North American Atlantic coast. Ecological disturbances in salt marshes, such as coverage by wrack, disease, and eat-outs, affects Spartina marshes from the Gulf of Mexico to New England and may reduce the diversity of S. alterniflora clones within a population or alter other genetic characteristics ...

OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of heart failure and affects the activity of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). We have now investigated the role of MMPs and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) in the transition from compensated left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy to heart failure as well as the effects of pravastatin on this transition in a rat model. METHODS Dahl salt...

A high prevalence of iron deficiency was found in apparently healthy Asian immigrant children in Harrow. After excluding children with overtly abnormal red cell indices, Asian and European children had identical haemoglobin values, but Asian children had much lower mean cell volume and mean corpuscular haemoglobin values and higher red blood cell values.

OBJECTIVE Many state trauma registries contain work-related information but are underutilized for occupational injury research/surveillance. We assessed three methods of identifying work-related injuries in the Washington State Trauma Registry (WTR). METHODS State-designated trauma facilities report traumatic injuries meeting specific inclusion criteria to the WTR. The WTR reports from 1998 t...
