We describe a new technique for microencapsulation with high-mannuronic acid (high-M) alginate crosslinked with BaCl(2) without a traditional permselective component, which allows the production of biocompatible capsules that allow prolonged survival of syngeneic and allogeneic transplanted islets in diabetic BALB/c and NOD mice for >350 days. The normalization of the glycemia in the transplant...

Capsules frequently play a key role in bacterial interactions with their environment. Escherichia coli capsules were categorized as groups 1 through 4, each produced by a distinct mechanism. Etk and Etp are members of protein families required for the production of group 1 and group 4 capsules. These members function as a protein tyrosine kinase and protein tyrosine phosphatase, respectively. W...

In animal-pollinated plants, two factors affecting pollen flow and seed production are changes in floral display and the availability of compatible mates. Changes in floral display may affect the number of pollinator visits and the availability of compatible mates will affect the probability of legitimate pollination and seed production. Distyly is a floral polymorphism where long-styled (pin) ...

An experiment consisting 60 genotypes of linseed was conducted at Research Farm P. G. College Ghazipur during two years 2007-8 and 2008-9 in three micro environments results showed high level variability for pooled data all the characters. Highest PCV GCV were recorded biological yield per plant followed by capsules seed plant. It lower days to maturity oil content. High heritability broad sens...

Lageremia indica L. commonly known as crepe myrtle, is an ornamental plant for its attractive flowers and foliage. The fruit seeds are also to be obtained from the boot tree. aim of this study was seed morphology Lagerstroemia indica. included analyzes quality fruits several plants their different morphological methods. Research results show that Lastroemia small, dry capsules split open along ...

in order to evaluation of seed production index in lambsquarters (chenopodium album), leaf appearance and yield of fennel (foeniculum vulgare) under inter-specific competition a factorial experiment was conducted in islamic azad university, tabriz branch, iran, during 2011-2012. treatments were weed densities of 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 plants per meter row and its relative emergence times of simultane...

Seed is the most important input to harvest a good crop. The potential yield of crop depends on the quality of the seed used for cultivation of crop. Use of quality seeds alone can enhance the crop productivity by 15-25%. One of the main reasons for low productivity of crops is unavailability of reliable quality seeds in the local markets. To enhance productivity, seed should be of high quality...

Background: The high number of smokers in rural areas is a public health problem Indonesia. Tobacco smoke exposure associated with the incidence cardiovascular disease and cancer. Smoking increases activity hematological system, characterized by an increase platelets leukocytes. Platelet leukocytes are essential cells thrombus formation hemostasis.
