in order to study stress tolerance indices and identifying tolerance genotypes to drought stress condition 16 genotypes of durum wheat were assessed in a randomized complete block design with four replications under two irrigated and rainfed conditions in the research station located in west of iran ilam in 2006- 2007. results showed that variation in among durum wheat genotypes under irrigated...

Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 exhibits an autoagglutinating nature and noteworthy adhesiveness to various abiotic surfaces from hydrophobic plastics to hydrophilic glass and stainless steel. Although previous studies have suggested that bacterionanofibers on Tol 5 cells are involved in the adhesive phenotype of Tol 5, the fiber that directly mediates Tol 5 adhesion has remained unknown. Here, we pres...

in order to increase drought tolerance in bread wheat, an appropriate breeding program based on inheritance of drought tolerance is recommended. in the present study, nine bread wheat cultivars and their f2 progenies were evaluated in a randomized complete block design under normal and drought stress conditions. nine sensitivity/tolerance indices were calculated for studied genotypes and stress...

At percent, Zn stress tolerance using novel genetic resources is an important mitigation strategy for plant breeding. In this study, thirty-five durum wheat genotypes with different growth habits were evaluated under normal (non-stress) and Zn deficient stress during the 2014-15 cropping season. A total of ten Zn stress tolerance indices including stress tolerance index (STI), relative zinc-def...

The intestinal microbiome modulates host susceptibility to enteric pathogens, but the specific protective factors and mechanisms of individual bacterial species are not fully characterized. We show that secreted antigen A (SagA) from Enterococcus faecium is sufficient to protect Caenorhabditis elegans against Salmonella pathogenesis by promoting pathogen tolerance. The NlpC/p60 peptidoglycan hy...

saline and drought stress conditions are the most important factors in yield reduction of crops in the world. breeding of cultivars with high tolerance to these stresses and satisfactory yielding are considerable. the aim of this study was to compare the means of selected generations in saline and drought stress conditions in order to calculate response to selection. in this study two populatio...

Toxicokinetic Modeling of the Combined Exposure to Toluene and n-Hexane in Rats and Humans: Nabeel ALI, et al. Département de médecine du travail et d’hygiène du milieu, Faculté de médecine, Université de Montréal—We studied the toxicokinetic fate of toluene (TOL) and n-hexane (HEX) in rats exposed to mixtures of these solvents by inhalation during 4 hours. We developed and validated a physiolo...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by progressive immune-mediated joint deterioration. Current treatments are not antigen specific and are associated with various adverse. We have previously demonstrated that tolerogenic dendritic cells (Tol-DC) are potent antigen-specific immune regulators, which hold great promise in immunotherapy of autoimmune diseases. In this ...

In order to reduce the cesarean-delivery rate, more and more pregnant women are offered trials of labor (TOL) after their previous cesarean sections. TOL and elective repeat cesarean section (ERCS) have different risks and benefits. We constructed a decision analysis to explore this issue. Probabilities were derived from literature reviews. Health state utilities were derived from the authors' ...
