this study was aimed to study the ways of removing dormancy period and accelerating pre-sowing tuber germination to provide simple tools to apply by farmers. for this purpose, intact tubers, exposed tubers to released ethylene and sliced tubers were examined in respect to germination characters, bud length, starch, anthocyanin and chlorophyll contents and amylase activity. relative amount of an...

abstract the present research was done to evaluate proline, proteins and sugars of flower buds of pistachio trees during phonological stages. this study was conducted using a split-plot design with three replications considered time as main factor (5 stages) and cultivars (ahmad-aghaee, ouhadi, kaleh-ghochi and akbari) as secondary factor. the experiment was conducted at ferdowsi university of ...

primary bud necrosis (pbn) in grapevine is a physiological disorder that leads to death of fruitful buds and yield loss. the aim of this study was to determine the changes in soluble sugars and starch and their relationship to the incidence of the primary bud necrosis in askari grapevine. experiment was conducted in a vineyard that the vines were 15 years old, with a head system, vines spaced 2...

BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown disparities between Black and Hispanic patients compared with other populations in response to asthma medications. OBJECTIVE The aim of this analysis was to assess the effect of budesonide/formoterol pressurized metered-dose inhaler (BUD/FM pMDI) and BUD on predefined criteria for asthma worsening, an asthma control metric generally aligned with definiti...

In Hydra, head regeneration and bud formation appear to be very similar processes. The fact that there are genes whose expression is specific for one of the two processes suggests that they do not have identical molecular bases. We analyzed the signal transduction pathways regulating bud development using inhibitors of protein kinase C, Src, PI3K and ERK. The four inhibitors reversibly blocked ...

Bud growth in yeast is guided by myosin-driven delivery of secretory vesicles from the mother cell to the bud. We find transport occurs along two sets of actin cables assembled by two formin isoforms. The Bnr1p formin assembles cables that radiate from the bud neck into the mother, providing a stable mother-bud axis. These cables also depend on septins at the neck and are required for efficient...

To determine whether the innervation of taste buds changes during postnatal development, the number of geniculate ganglion cells that innervated single fungiform taste buds were quantified in the tip- and midregions of the tongue of adult and developing rats. There was substantial variation in both the size of individual taste buds and number of geniculate ganglion cells that innervated them. I...

in this research, possibility of bulblet production from different cuttings including leaf, leaf-bud and leafy-stem of lilium oriental hybrid cv. ‘star gazer’ evaluated under different levels of indole-3-butyric acid (iba) with 0, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg per liter (ppm). the cuttings were taken from stems which grown from cold treated bulbs in early october. a factorial experiment was done in...

this study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of injection of essential oil of eugenia caryophyllata in the kid horn buds, as a new chemical technique for disbudding. five-day-old healthy goat kids from both sexes (n = 16) were divided randomly into 4 equal groups. in groups 1, 2 and 3, 0.2 ml of clove essence and in group 4 (control) 0.2 ml of normal saline was injected into the left horn ...
