sodium/proton exchangers (nhx) are key players in plant responses to salinity and have a central role in establishing ion homeostasis. nhxs can be localized in tonoplast or plasma membranes, where they exchange sodium ions for protons, resulting in the removal of ions from the cytosol into vacuole or extracellular spaces. in the present study, the expression pattern of the gene encoding na+/h+ ...

introduction: calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase ii (camkii) is highly expressed in the hippocampus, which has a pivotal role in reward-related memories and morphine dependence. methods: in the present study, morphine tolerance was induced in male wistar rats by 7 days repeated morphine injections once daily, and then gene expression profile of α-isoform of camkii (camkiiα) in the hipp...

objective: inhibition of apoptosis may favor the onset and progression of cancer. survivin is an inhibitor of apoptosis that has been considered as a potential marker for diagnostic and/or prognostic of bladder cancer. the survivin protein regulates both cell division and cell death and is overexpressed in the vast majority of human cancers. in this study, the expression pattern and potential p...

introduction: brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf) and its receptor, trkb, in the hippocampus are targets for adverse effects of stress paradigms in addition, bdnf and its receptor play key role in the pathology of brain diseases like depression. in the present study, we evaluated the possible role of hippocampal bdnf in depression during pregnancy, methods: to achieve the purpose, repeated...

quantitative analysis of production through evaluation of inputs consumption quantity is of main principles in agricultural policies, which is followed by increasing in production through optimal use of resources. this study has been conducted to estimate different types of production functions in mechanized farms of broiler chicks located in gorgan city. cross-section survey data were gathered...

A modified version (mBIC) of the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) has been previously proposed for backcross designs to locate multiple interacting quantitative trait loci. In this article, we extend the method to intercross designs. We also propose two modifications of the mBIC. First we investigate a two-stage procedure in the spirit of empirical Bayes methods involving an adaptive (i.e.,...
