plants are always exposed to vast aspects of either environmental biotic or abiotic stresses and those stresses affecting the plant growth and therefore crop production. molecular and physiological mechanisms influence plant resistance to environmental stresses, therefore the identification of these mechanisms can be an important step in challenging the damages. in this study, plant physiologic...

in order to determine yield and physiological response of different wheat genotypes to low temperature, many pot and field experiments were conducted in 2007-2008 at the plant physiology laboratory, university of kurdistan, and ghamlo dryland agricultural research station in kurdistan province. in both experiments, the experimental design was a randomized complete block in a split plot arrangem...

introduction: traditional iranian medicine (tim) is accompanied by little side effects in experience. the mechanisms involved in tim are not much clear. the purpose of this study is assessment of differences of warm and cold nature persons in neuroendocrine system and cytokine pattern (th1/th2) of immune responses. methods: thirty seven 20 to 40 years old male volunteers were divided into 2 gro...

Many primary sensory neurons are polymodal, responding to multiple stimulus modalities (chemical, thermal, or mechanical), yet each modality is recognized differently. Although polymodality implies that stimulus encoding occurs in higher centers, such as the spinal cord or brain, recent sensory neuron ablation studies find that behavioral responses to different modalities require distinct subpo...

The febrile responses of Sprague-Dawley rats to semi-purified human endogenous pyrogen were studied at a thermoneutral ambient temperature (26 degrees C) and in the cold (3 degrees C). It was found that while rats developed typical monophasic febrile responses at thermoneutrality, febrile responses were absent in the cold-exposed rats. Experiments were conducted to determine whether this lack o...

Identifying interspecies changes in gene regulation, one of the two primary sources of phenotypic variation, is challenging on a genome-wide scale. The use of paired time-course data on cold-responsive gene expression in maize (Zea mays) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) allowed us to identify differentially regulated orthologs. While the majority of cold-responsive transcriptional regulation of co...
