IFN-gamma has been shown to inhibit monocyte (Mo) differentiation into mature dendritic cells (DC). Because IFN-gamma also plays a role in tolerance induction, we asked whether this could be related to generation of tolerogenic DC (Tol-DC). Toward this aim, we cultured Mo with GM-CSF plus IL-4 in the presence or absence of IFN-gamma for 6 days and induced their maturation with TNF-alpha for 2 a...

Low zinc (Zn) availability and its absorption limit wheat production and quality of yield in calcareous soils. In order to identify Zn deficient stress tolerance in wheat, fifteen spring genotypes (Diyarbakir-81; Gediz-75; Svevo; Zenit; Amanos-97; Fuatbey-2000; Balcali-2000; Ceylan-95; Firat-93; Aydin-93; Ozbek; Artuklu; Akcakale-2000; Aday-19; and Ege-88) were evaluated under two conditions (n...

Previous studies have shown that wheat grain yield is seriously affected by drought stress, and leaf cuticular wax is reportedly associated with drought tolerance. However, most studies have focused on cuticular wax biosynthesis and model species. The effects of cuticular wax on wheat drought tolerance have rarely been studied. The aims of the current study were to study the effects of leaf cut...

The purpose and objectives of the study. To determine resistance soybean genotypes to drought according indices based on analysis yield in years contrasting terms hydrometeorological conditions.
 Materials research methods. material for determining influence year conditions level average soybeans were varieties breeding numbers competitive variety test (CVT). Experiments carried out four r...

We present VLT spectroscopic observations with different spectral resolutions and different slit orientations of the two metal-deficient blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies Tol 1214–277 and Tol 65. The oxygen abundances in the brightest H ii regions of Tol 1214–277 and Tol 65 are found to be 12 + log O/H = 7.55 ± 0.01 and 7.54 ± 0.01, or Z⊙/24 . The nitrogen-to-oxygen abundance ratios in the two ...

Field experiment were carried out at the Research and Production Station of National Centre, Nubaria region, Behiera Governorate, Egypt during 2019/2020 to study effects compost zinc foliar application on growth yield production canola under drought condition. The water stress treatments (75 40% holding capacity, WHC) occupied main plots rates (0, 2, 4 6 ton fed-1) allocated random in sub-plots...

Carboxylic acids may be metabolized to acyl glucuronides and acyl-coenzyme A thioesters (acyl-CoAs), which are reactive metabolites capable of reacting with proteins in vivo. In this study, the metabolic activation of tolmetin (Tol) to reactive metabolites and the subsequent formation of Tol-protein adducts in the liver were studied in rats. Two hours after dose administration (100 mg/kg i.p.),...

somatic embryos of persian walnut were transformed with two strains of agrobacterium tumefaciens i.e. lba4404 and c58, and two plasmids, namely, pbi121 with nptii and gus genes for improving the transformation protocol, and p6u-ubi-fvti plasmid containing the hpt and fld genes. the transformation frequency was 10%. pcr and rt-pcr analysis proved the presence and expression of the genes. the tra...

abstract salinity tolerance is one of the major factor influencing crop productivity in arid and semi-arid areas. the salinity tolerance of fruit trees can be enhanced through the use of tolerant rootstocks. this experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of salinity stress and rootstock on the growth, photosynthetic rate and nutrient concentrations of almond (prunus dulcis miller.) cv...

OBJECTIVES To explore serum and tissue pharmacodynamics of linezolid versus vancomycin against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) clinical isolates with different MBC/MIC ratios. METHODS Five strains (vancomycin MIC/MBCs, mg/L) were used: TOL-1 (2/≥64), TOL-2 (1/16), LT-1 and LT-2 (1/8) and NT (1/2). The linezolid MIC/MBC for all strains was 2/≥64 mg/L. A two-compartment dynam...
