The article analyzes the designs of various types cultivators, which are used to remove unwanted herbaceous and tree-shrub vegetation. Cultivators with disk, rotary, milling tine working bodies considered. It is shown that quite a lot material resources spent on carrying out agro technical care for valuable forest crops. noted mechanical method soil in aisles rows crops has become widespread, d...

Background Bud development is an adaptation that temperate forest trees have acquired to survive inclement winter conditions and resume growth the following spring. Bud development is a complex physiological and developmental process comprising bud formation, cold and desiccation tolerance development, and dormancy acquisition [1]. Because bud formation is accompanied by growth cessation, the t...

The airway retention of inhaled glucocorticosteroids (GCs) depends largely on their lipophilicity. Inhaled budesonide (BUD) becomes highly lipophilic reversibly by the formation of esters, acting as a reservoir of active BUD. Ciclesonide (CIC) was also reported to form esters after hydrolysis to active metabolite (CIC-AM). We have investigated lipophilicity and airway retention of BUD, CIC/CIC-...

Taste bud volume increases over the postnatal period to match the number of neurons providing innervation. To clarify age-related changes in fungiform taste bud volume, the current study investigated developmental changes in taste bud cell number, proliferation rate, and life span. Taste bud growth can largely be accounted for by addition of cytokeratin-19-positive taste bud cells. Examination ...

We show that MAX1, a specific repressor of vegetative axillary bud outgrowth in Arabidopsis, acts a positive regulator of the flavonoid pathway, including 11 structural genes and the transcription factor An2. Repression of bud outgrowth requires MAX1-dependent flavonoid gene expression. As the flavonoidless state leads to lateral outgrowth in Arabidopsis, our data suggest that a flavonoid-based...

this study was aimed to study the ways of removing dormancy period and accelerating pre-sowing tuber germination to provide simple tools to apply by farmers. for this purpose, intact tubers, exposed tubers to released ethylene and sliced tubers were examined in respect to germination characters, bud length, starch, anthocyanin and chlorophyll contents and amylase activity. relative amount of an...

abstract the present research was done to evaluate proline, proteins and sugars of flower buds of pistachio trees during phonological stages. this study was conducted using a split-plot design with three replications considered time as main factor (5 stages) and cultivars (ahmad-aghaee, ouhadi, kaleh-ghochi and akbari) as secondary factor. the experiment was conducted at ferdowsi university of ...

Water movement in xylem vessel presents hydraulic system. The system may encounter embolism (cavitation) caused by environmental stresses. Tracer dyes are distributed within the and can be monitored sectioning tissue called dye infusion technique. current experiment determined optimal conditions for acid fuchsin technique to monitor water-conducting pathways shoots of sweet cherry peach trees. ...

The development of antioxidant-active packaging has numerous advantages, such as the reduction of synthetic additives in food, the reduction of plastic waste and food protection against oxidation reactions. Different concentrations of extracts of the plants Caesalpinia decapetala (CD) and Caesalpinia spinosa "Tara" (CS) were incorporated into gelatine films as natural antioxidants. The physical...
