background: recently, it has been revealed that tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tkis) act through inducing both oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum (er) stress in chronic myeloid leukemia cells. however, er stress signaling triggers both apoptotic and survival processes within cells. nevertheless, mechanisms by which tkis avoid the pro-survival effects are not clear. the aim of this study was to ev...

Accumulation of γ -aminobutyric acid (GABA) is associated with stress factors in plant systems. The objective of the current study was to compare GABA concentration in wheat plants under chilling stress. After 48 h treatments of seedlings under chilling stress combined stresses with and without GABA, morphological and biochemical assays were conducted. It was observed that the inhibition of see...

Plant responses to a combination of drought and bacterial pathogen infection, an agronomically important and altogether a new stress, are not well-studied. While occurring concurrently, these two stresses can lead to synergistic or antagonistic effects on plants due to stress-interaction. It is reported that plant responses to the stress combinations consist of both strategies, unique to combin...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum); the second largest legume grown worldwide is prone to drought and various pathogen infections. These drought and pathogen stresses often occur concurrently in the field conditions. However, the molecular events in response to that are largely unknown. The present study examines the transcriptome dynamics in chickpea plants exposed to a combination of water-deficit st...

background: as various implant geometries present different biomechanical behaviors, the purpose of this work was to study stress distribution around tapered and cylindrical threaded implant geometries using three-dimensional finite element stress analysis.     methods: seven implant models were constructed using the cad system. after digitized models of mandibular section, the crowns were crea...
