Cadmium (Cd)-contaminated soil has been receiving increasing attention worldwide due to the great harm it causes via food-chain enrichment through crops such as wheat. However, there is little research regarding effects of mannose (MAN) on plants in response Cd stress. Hence, hydroponic and potted experiments were conducted investigate mitigation MAN wheat under stress possible mechanism. Compa...

Treating patients using tooth supported overdentures can help in preservation of the remaining natural teeth which provide psychological, functional and anatomical benefits. Retaining roots preserving proprioceptive receptors increase stability dentures, hence it is favoured treatment for elderly with a few teeth. This case report describes mandibular denture retained custom made coping to enha...

Prosthodontic practice should always concentrate on procedures that prevent the excessive loss of jaw bone and those that contribute in maintaining the alveolar ridge height. Overdentures are one such option wherein roots prevent alveolar bone resorption, provide better load transmission, maintain sensory feedback and achieve better stability of denture with emphasis on psychological aspect of ...

retained surgical gauze is occasionally observed in general practice. herein, we report a case with surgical gauze retained for over 13 years that created a fistula which drained pus into the stomach.

We determined the enzyme activities involved in the aerobic and anaerobic respiration of Kosteletzkya virginica on the 0, 10, 20, and 30 d of waterlogging to understand its respiratory characteristics. We also determined the enzyme activities on the 10 and 20 d of recovery after water drainage. Non-waterlogged seedlings were regarded as control during this experiment. All waterlogged seedlings ...

This study was motivated by the hypothesis that the incidence of retained placenta (RP) in Friesian horses is associated with inbreeding. The objectives were to 1) calculate the inbreeding rate in the total registered Friesian horse population; 2) study the association of the inbreeding coefficient of the foal and the mare with the incidence of RP; and 3) study the heritability of RP in Friesia...

The relationship of malate synthesis to K(+) absorption from solutions of K(2)SO(4) and KHCO(3) was compared in nonvacuolate barley (Hordeum vulgare) root tips and whole excised roots. The comparison has permitted separation of the process which evokes organic acid synthesis from that which leads to stoichiometry between net acid equivalents formed and excess K(+) absorbed from K(2)SO(4), on th...

The root barrier to radial O2 loss (ROL) is a trait enabling waterlogging tolerance of plants. ROL restricts diffusion the anoxic soil so that retained inside tissues. We hypothesised can also restrict other gases (H2 and water vapour) in rice roots with ROL. used H2 microsensors measure permeability roots, gravimetric measurements assess influence on (RWL). greatly restricted as well H2. At 60...

The influence of succinate treatment on Zn toxicity was investigated using plant growth and mineral uptake as stress indicators. Pea plants (Pisum sativum L., cv. Citrine) were treated with various Zn concentrations (0.67 to 700 μM Zn) in the presence and absence of 0.2 mM Na-succinate. Plants pre-treated with succinate and then exposed to Zn exhibited higher dry root, stem and leaf weight than...

Lateral roots play an important role in water and nutrient uptake largely by increasing the root surface area. In an effort to characterize lateral root development in maize (Zea mays), we have isolated from Mutator (Mu) transposon stocks and characterized two nonallelic monogenic recessive mutants: slr1 and slr2 (short lateral roots1 and 2), which display short lateral roots as a result of imp...
