to study the effect of salinity stress on some physiological attributes of four grape cultivars in vineyards of urmia in iran, an experiment was carried out as factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design with four replications. experimental factors included: grape cultivars qazel ozum, qareh shireh, tabrzeh and dizmari, and salt concentrations 0, 25, 50 and 100 mmol l-1 and locati...

The kinetic attributes of the afferent arteriole myogenic response were investigated using the in vitro perfused hydronephrotic rat kidney. Equations describing the time course for pressure-dependent vasoconstriction and vasodilation, and steady-state changes in diameter were combined to develop a mathematical model of autoregulation. Transfer functions were constructed by passing sinusoidal pr...

Scarcity of water for irrigation is an alarming issue of Pakistan and the problem is being magnified rapidly with the passage of time. Shortage of water is thus, a limiting factor in increasing per unit area wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield that is staple food of most of the people. Eventually, the gap between production and consumption is widening day by day and Pakistan is now suffering fro...

An aim of systems physiology today can be stated as to establish logical and quantitative bridges between phenomenological attributes of physiological entities such as cells and organs and physical attributes of biological entities, i.e., biological molecules, allowing us to describe and better understand physiological functions in terms of underlying biological functions. This article illustra...
