Inoculation theory offers a framework for protecting individuals against challenges to an existing attitude, belief, or state. Despite the prevalence and damaging effects of public speaking anxiety, inoculation strategies have yet to be used to help individuals remain calm before and during public speaking. We aimed to test the effectiveness of an inoculation message for reducing the onset of p...

A method for producing mass quantities of Meloidogyne incognita males free from other developmental stages was developed. Host plants were grown hydroponically to facilitate nematode harvest. Pruning stress was shown to cause a higher percentage of juveniles to develop as males vs. a no-stress control. Application of pruning stress in the first 48 hr post-inoculation was also shown to be more e...

Abstract Salinity stress is a major threat that negatively affects plant growth and production in arid semi- regions. Application of biofertilizers could mitigate this stress. Accordingly, pot experiment was conducted on rapeseed grown under salinity (0, 5, 10, 15 dS m −1 ) while considering the following additives: (1) AMF (non-inoculated inoculated with Glomus versiforme (2) PGPR Micrococcus ...

Adverse childhood events can influence the development of emotional and physiological self-regulatory abilities, with significant consequences for vulnerability to psychological and physical illness. This study evaluated stress sensitization and inoculation models of the impact of early parental death on stress exposure and reactivity in late adolescence/young adulthood. Ambulatory blood pressu...

The present study investigates the effects of Glomus mosseae and Glomus intraradices on the resistance of green basil plants to salinity stress. The findings suggested that there was an interaction of effects between mycorrhiza fungi inoculation and salt stress on the physiological characteristics of Ocimum basilicum L. On one hand, salinity decreased percentage of root colonization, root lengt...

Abiotic stress is one of the major limiting factors for plant development and productivity, which makes it important to identify microorganisms capable of increasing plant tolerance to stress. Dark septate endophytes can be symbionts of plants. In the present study, we evaluated the ability of dark septate endophytes isolates to reduce the effects of water stress in the rice varieties Nipponbar...

Increasing salinization threatens the normal growth of halophytes in saline habitats, especially at seedling stage. Soil beneficial microorganisms have potential to promote salt tolerance halophytes, but less attention has been paid various responses between different with microbial inoculations. Here we performed pot experiments assess Nitraria tangutorum Bobr. and Elaeagnus angustifolia Linn....

in order to study the effects of pgpr application methods on essential oil percent and yield of lavender (lavandula angustifolia l.) under drought stress conditions an experiment was performed at islamic azad university, yadegar-e-imam khomeini (rah) shahre-rey branch. this experiment was carried out in a split plot arrangement with randomized complete block design in three replications. experi...

Background: Evaluation and accreditation of hospitals have essential roles in improving the quality, safety, and effectiveness of healthcare services. Nevertheless, this process may cause stress and anxiety among hospital staff. This study aims to determine and compare the level of anxiety and perceived stress of employees before and after the accreditation program in Ahvaz private hospitals. ...
