This review describes physiological mechanisms and selectable indicators of gene action, with the aim of promoting new screening methods to identify genetic variation for increasing the salt tolerance of cereal crops. Physiological mechanisms that underlie traits for salt tolerance could be used to identify new genetic sources of salt tolerance. Important mechanisms of tolerance involve Na+ exc...

The current study investigated the main and interactive effects of a nonclinical panic attack history and distress tolerance in relation to PTSD symptoms. The sample consisted of 91 adults (62.6% women; M(age)=23.45, SD=9.56) who met DSM-IV criteria for trauma exposure, 53.8% of whom met criteria for a recent (past 2 years) history of nonclinical panic attacks. Results indicated that distress t...

In patients with hemophilia A and inhibitory alloantibodies against factor VIII, various dosage schedules are used to obtain immune tolerance. In this study, we have evaluated the results of 13 years of low-dose immune tolerance induction and factors that are predictive of a positive result. The effect of immune tolerance induction in relation to age at inhibitor development, number of exposure...
