peach (prunus persica l. batsch.) is produced in most areas of iran, where flowering is hindered by temperature. using plant growth regulators to delay bloom is a suggestive measure to avoid frost damage. the objective of this study was to determine the effects of methyl jasmonate (mj) and salicylic acid (sa) on peach bloom delay and yield.  this study evaluated the applications of mj 0 (contro...

conclusions according to the appearance of the purple line in most of the cases and its high sensitivity and specificity, we can use it as a non-invasive complementary method for clinical assessment of labor progress. results the purple line appeared in 75.3% of women during the active phase of labor. appearance of the purple line in the prediction of labor progress had 90.2% sensitivity, 45.3%...

Background: The aim of this study was evaluation of developmental rate and Bax, Bcl-2 and ErbB4 genes expression following re-vitrification in compact and early blastocysts stages. Materials and Methods: 5-8 cell embryos were collected from female mature mice, 60-62 hours post hCG injection. The embryos were divided to five groups including: fresh, vitrified at 5-8 cells, vitrified at blastocys...
