BACKGROUND Flooding significantly reduces the growth and grain yield of soybean plants. Proteomic and biochemical techniques were used to determine whether the function of cotyledon and root is altered in soybean under flooding stress. RESULTS Two-day-old soybean plants were flooded for 2 days, after which the proteins from root and cotyledon were extracted for proteomic analysis. In response...

Fixed dose combination (FDC) products are gaining more interest by pharma companies worldwide considering their importance in treating the disease and the increased safety/efficacy profile. Very few general guidelines are available with respect to FDCs in USA whereas Europe has some guidelines while India has just started developing such guidelines. Indian market is flooded with several irratio...

The paper presents recent studies on spatial and temporal characterization of the clogging of a large infiltration system and main factors affecting its evolution. Thickness, organic content, density, particle size distribution, biomass and saturated hydraulic conductivity were then evaluated during 10 campaigns from September 2009 to February 2011. The results show that the sediment accumulati...

Excess water in the form of waterlogged soil or deeper submergence (generically termed 'flooding') influences plant growth, survival and species distribution in many natural ecosystems. It also has a negative impact on crop growth and yield since many agricultural species are flooding intolerant. The often devastating effect of flooding on plant performance is related to its interference with g...

Flooding is a fundamental operation in wireless ad hoc networks to propagate control messages in the entire network. The traditional flooding scheme generates excessive packet retransmissions, resource contention, and collisions since every node forwards the packet at least once. Several flooding schemes have been proposed to avoid these problems. However, these unnecessary forwarding nodes rem...

This review summarizes the research on physiological responses to flooding of trees in the seasonal black-water wetland of the Mapire River in Venezuela. Inter-annual variability was found during 8 years of sampling, in spite of which a general picture emerged of increased stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthetic rate (PN) during the flooded period to values as high as or higher than in pla...

salix integra thunb. is a shrub distributed in china along the huai river riparian zone, and plays an important role in water and soil conservation. s. integra shrub land is easily submerged during july to october due to the flooding of huai river. in order to characterize the physiological mechanisms of waterlogging tolerance of s. integra and to help rationally select waterlogging-tolerant sp...

Flooding on 1 of the Solomon Islands precipitated a nationwide epidemic of diarrhea that spread to regions unaffected by flooding and caused >6,000 cases and 27 deaths. Rotavirus was identified in 38% of case-patients tested in the city with the most flooding. Outbreak potential related to weather reinforces the need for global rotavirus vaccination.
