faba bean is one of the proper crops for cultivation in guilan climate conditions in rotation with rice. one of the limiting factors in development of cultivating this plant is late maturity and synchronizing of its ripening with rice transplanting. to investigate the effect of planting date, timing and consumption rate of paraquat herbicide on the ripening, grain yield and some of the agronomi...

in order to investigate the possibility of fennel autumnal sowing in mashhad condition, 2 sets of experiments were conducted in agricultural college, ferdowsi university of mashhad in 2003-2005. this experiment was performed in the manner of split blocks based on completely randomized blocks with three replications. treatments were two fennel ecotypes (khorasan and kerman) and three planting da...

The comprehensive relationship of backscattering coefficient (σ 0 ) values from two current X-band SAR sensors (COSMO-SkyMed and TerraSAR-X) with canopy biophysical variables were investigated using the SAR images acquired at VV polarization and shallow incidence angles. The difference and consistency of the two sensors were also examined. The chrono-sequential change of σ 0 in rice paddies dur...

Combinations of fibroblasts (Fbs) and corresponding epithelial cells have been widely used in many tissues, such as the skin and breast tissues, to augment tissue repair and remodeling. Recently, a large amount of new data has indicated that nerve Fbs play critical roles in Schwann cells (SCs) and axons in vitro. However, little is known regarding the effects of co-transplanting nerve Fbs and S...

BACKGROUND Renal transplantation is recognised as being the optimal treatment modality for many patients with end stage renal disease. This analysis aimed to explore the equity of access to renal transplantation in the UK. METHODS Transplant activity and waiting list data were obtained from NHS Blood and Transplant, demographic and laboratory data were obtained from the UK Renal Registry. All...

Loblolly pine (Pinus taedu L.) seedling height, root collar diameter (RCD) and the specific activities of three sucrose metabolizing enzymes, namely, sucrose spthase (SS), acid invertase, and neutral invertase, were measured to assess seedling responses to transplant stress. Bare-root nursery-grown loblolly pine seedlings were lifted and transplanted immediately into nearby nursery beds in Febr...

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is one of the leading nutrient disorders in rice (Oryza sativa). Many studies have identified Zn-efficient rice genotypes, but causal mechanisms for Zn deficiency tolerance remain poorly understood. Here, we report a detailed study of the impact of Zn deficiency on crown root development of rice genotypes, differing in their tolerance to this stress. Zn deficiency delayed c...

We investigated the roles of specific subsets of donor APCs purified from bone marrow in donor T cell activation and graft-vs-leukemia (GvL) activity in murine models of hemopoietic stem cell transplantation. Lineage(-)CD11c(+) APC precursors were separated from donor bone marrow based on expression of CD11b. Transplanting lineage(-)CD11c(+)CD11b(-) APC (CD11b(-) APC) in combination with c-kit(...

Four semi-dwarf rices (Oryza sativa L.) differing in percentage of grain protein, grown in a flooded field receiving basal N fertilization, had a peak activity of root glutamate dehydrogenase 4 weeks after transplanting. A lower peak occurred during panicle formation 10 weeks after transplanting. The percentage of N of the active leaf blades was also highest 4 weeks after transplanting. The act...
