Plant architecture improvement is of great significance in influencing crop yield, harvesting efficiency and ornamental value, by changing the spatial structure canopy. However, mechanism on plant woody plants still unclear. In order to study genetic control traits promote marker-assisted selection (MAS), a linkage map was constructed, QTL mapping performed. this study, using 188 BC2 progenies ...

Methods: Thirty male college students ofIslamic Azad University-Fars Science and Research Branch of with mean age of 21/53±2/99years, weight 70/03±10/52 kg a...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of pre-cooling on physiological, functional and perceptual variables in men in an exhaustive intense activity in a warm environment. 10 healthy athlete men (mean age 23.40±1.89 yr, weight 69.80±8.94 kg, height 172±5.98 cm, body fat percentage 10.93±3.39) participated in a separate session in the laboratory; their vvo2max was determined and then ...

Few studies have evaluated the application of biochar to forest ecosystems and their responses under field conditions. We manually spread grounded on floor, at rates 0 (control), 5, 10 Mg ha−1 (C0, C5 C10, respectively), an oak in central Japan test effects tree growth productivity. The relative rate diameter breast height (dbh) canopy trees (dbh > 20 cm) significantly increased C10 compared...

Although treatment of cycling cows with low concentrations of melengesterol acetate (MGA) results in formation of persistent follicles, in the absence of corpora lutea, it is not known whether persistent follicles form in anestrous cows in response to a similar treatment. The objective of this experiment was to determine the effect of long-term MGA treatment (14 d) on follicular dynamics and th...

OBJECTIVE Intranasal corticosteroids are used widely for the treatment of allergic rhinitis because they are effective and well tolerated. However, their potential to suppress growth of pediatric subjects with allergic rhinitis continues to be a concern, particularly in light of reports of growth suppression after treatment with intranasal beclomethasone dipropionate or intranasal budesonide (s...

Methods The safety of RPL554 0.003 and 0.009 mg/kg was evaluated in 18 healthy males (age 18-41 years; weight 58-90 kg; height 168-196 cm; BMI 18-29 kg/m) in a randomised, double-blind study. For each dose group, 6 subjects inhaled RPL554 and 3 placebo. Study medication was administered by a calibrated electronic nebuliser and oronasal mask. Subsequently, RPL554 0.009 and 0.018 mg/kg were evalu...

The number of long-term surviving stem cell transplant (SCT) recipients has increased steadily, and attention has now extended to the late complications of this procedure. The objective of this study was to investigate relationship among growth and endocrine functions in long-term adult survivors of childhood SCT. The inclusion criteria of this study were survival at least 5 yr after SCT and ac...
