Since many of the quantitative plant characters of economic values are highly influenced by environmental condition, the progress in breeding in such a population is primarily conditioned by the magnitude, nature and inter-relations of genotypic and non-genotypic variations in plant characters. Therefore we estimated phenotypic, genotypic and environmental correlation coefficients and path coef...

BACKGROUND An accessory navicular is generally asymptomatic and discovered incidentally on radiographs. The natural history of an accessory navicular in the pediatric population is largely undescribed. METHODS The medical charts of 261 pediatric subjects undergoing 2620 annual unilateral radiographs of the foot and ankle (age range 0.25-7 years at enrollment) were reviewed. Radiographs were e...

microRNA miR-221 is frequently over-expressed in a variety of human neoplasms. Aim of this study was to identify new miR-221 gene targets to improve our understanding on the molecular tumor-promoting mechanisms affected by miR-221. Gene expression profiling of miR-221-transfected-SNU-398 cells was analyzed by the Sylamer algorithm to verify the enrichment of miR-221 targets among down-modulated...

a field experiment was conducted to assess the optimum inter- and intra-row spacing on growth, yield and yield component of roselle (hibiscus sabdariffa l.) in 2014/15 cropping season at wondo genet agricultural research center experimental site (at wondo genet station). two inter-row spacing (60 and 90 cm) and three intra-row spacing (30, 60 and 90 cm) were evaluated using two varieties, wg-hi...

line to/cal/3/7c//bb/cno/5/cal//cno/sn64/4/cno//bad/dar/3/kl/6/sabalan was received from icarda under international winter wheat improvement in 1999-2000 cropping season. based on its favorable agronomic characteristics, it was selected for further evaluations in advanced and elite yield trials in main research stations of dryland agricultural research institute (dari) and on farm yield trials ...

An increasing world population and the competitive nature of the stone fruit market, particularly nectarines [(Prunus persica var. nectarine)], demand the selection of fruit with high quality attributes, flavor, and a wide range of maturity. Information on this subject is limited at the present time. In search of superior nectarines, a trial was conducted to study growing degree days (GDD), ful...

Successful treatment with human growth hormone (hGH) was initially reported by Raben in 19581. Although itis well established that pituitary derived or biosynthetic hGH increases the growth rate in growth hormone deficient children, many patients that were treated in the early days have not reached their target height, or attained adult height below the third percentile of population standards ...

We improve the lower bound for minimum number of colors linear Alexander quandle colorings a knot given in Theorem 1.2 [L. H. Kauffman and P. Lopes, Colorings beyond Fox: The other quandles, Linear Algebra Appl. 548 (2018) 221–258]. express this terms degree [Formula: see text] reduced polynomial knot. show that it is exactly L-space knots. Then we apply these results to torus knots Pretzel tex...

The reproductive biology of Poecilia latipinna inhabiting Wadi Haneefah stream, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was studied. The fish (P. latipinna) were found reproductively active round the year. The highest reproductive activity occurred from February to May and August to November which defined two distinct annual periods of reproduction. There was a monthly variation in sex ratio. More females than ma...

miR-221/-222 and components of the urokinase-type plasminogen activator system (uPAS) are associated with metastasis and poor prognosis in breast cancer, including the triple-negative subtype (TNBC). Modification of components of uPAS and involved miRNAs may contribute to targeted therapy for breast cancer patients. miR-221-/-222-overexpressing or miR-221-depleted cells were employed for qRT-PC...
