BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men. An increasing number of these patients are seeking minimally invasive procedures such as transperineal interstitial permanent radioactive seed prostate brachytherapy. METHODS This paper reviews the historical perspective and the current advances in transperineal interstitial permanent radioactive seed prostate brachytherap...

                In order to determine the best developmental stage of three common bean cultivars (Talash, COS16 and Khomain) at which maximum seed quality is attained under different irrigation regimes (I1-irrigation after 60 mm, I2-irrigation after 80 mm and I3-irrigation after 100 mm evaporation from class A pan), a split plot experiment (using R.C.B. design) with 3 replications was conducte...

this study was conducted to investigate the effects of different temperatures on seed germination of plantago ovata and also to evaluate cardinal temperatures. various constant temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35ºc) were conducted in a completely randomized design with four replications. the germinated seeds were counted every day and the rate of germination percentage, cumulative germin...

The mycelial growth rates in lineal growth assay, yield, and production rate of five Pleurotus ostreatus strains were evaluated in response to different levels of Mn(II) and/or NH4+ in a substrate containing sunflower seed hulls as a main energy and nutritional component. Each strain showed different basal values for mycelial growth rate and biological efficiency on sunflower seed-hull substrat...

seed dormancy is a genetically inherited trait whose intensity is modified by the environment during seed development and maturation. in order to study the effect of harvest time on the seed quality and optimum time of sowing to obtain good quality seeds, freshly threshed seeds of ten diverse rice genotypes harvested from six environments were evaluated for seed dormancy and seedling vigour ind...

Pear (Pyrus communis L.) is one of the important species fruits that are widely cultivated in Syria. Seed propagation pear an way to obtain seedlings be used as grafting assets, but method seed difficult due effect dormancy factors germination. The research was carried out during 2020 and 2021 study effects stratification for three periods (30–60–90 days) using ascorbic acid at a concentration ...

knowledge on habitat characteristics and nature of regional vegetation inrangelands is a prerequisite for any planning and proper range management along withsustainable development of renewable natural resources. rangelands in southern andwestern highlands of kashan, iran are of good vegetation diversity but unfortunately,palatable and desirable species are endangered in recent years. this rese...

there are some computer programs to calculate germination related traits such as germin which have using problems. the aim of this work was to adjust germin for calculating germination related traits. seed aging effects on the seedling emergence was modeled using the optimized germin. this study was conducted based on completely randomized design in a factorial combination of five seeds aging t...

BACKGROUND: Nutrients play a very important role in chemical, biochemical, physiological, metabolic, geochemical, biogeochemical, and enzymatic processes. Innovations for saving water in irrigated agriculture and thereby improving water use efficiency are of paramount importance in water-scarce regions. Conventional deficit irrigation is one approach that can reduce water use w...

Peterka M., M. Tu~ek, D. Vesely: EmbryotoxicityoJNineSeedMordants in the Chick Embryo the CHEST Method. Acta vet. Bmo 1996, 65:213-217. The seed mordants Agronal Super, which contains the organic mercury (5.4% phenylmercurychloride), has appeared to induce poisoning and even death of many people and animals. Minimal single embryotoxic doses of Agronal Super were estimated in 2-4-day old chick e...
