alstroemeria flower is one of the most important cut flowers in the world. some materials can increase longevity of cut flowers. the aim of this research was evaluating the effect of some chemical solutions on postharvest alstroemeria (cv. stratus) cut flowers. this experiment was conducted with two factors of sucrose at four concentrations, 0, 5, 10 and 15 g/l and salicylic acid (sa) at four c...

The effect of the malnutrition during suckling on the aggressiveness was investigated in adult rats treated or not with citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). The animals were divided into two groups according to the diet used: nourished group - the rats received the control diet with 23% protein during the life; and malnourished group - the rats had its mothers submitted ...

Biophysical understanding of cellular glucose uptake led us to the development of an image-based high-throughput screening system by using a fluorescent glucose bioprobe, GB2. The accuracy, robustness, and practicality of our image-based HTS system were demonstrated through the pilot screening and the subsequent in vitro confirmation.

in the present study, the root vigor and kinetic characteristics of nitrogen absorption in potato cultivars was investigated through sand cultivation and pot tests with nutrient solution. four cultivars of potatoes, namely, feiwuruita, yunshu301, liangshu97, and chuanyu56 were grown in nutrient solution matrix cultures. the result showed that: (1) nitrogen uptake rates differed significantly am...

A study was conducted to standardize production and postharvest handling of lily (Lilium longifolium L. cv. Mero Star). In production trial, three plant densities viz.10, 20 and 30 cm between plants in 60 cm spaced rows and two planting depths viz.7.5 and 15 cm were compared. Increased plant growth, yield and quality was recorded when plants were grown at a close spacing of 10 cm with 15 cm pla...

increased metabolic activity in muscle secondary to excessive muscle activity during the uptake phase and shortly before fdg injection is a known phenomenon. we present fdg pet/ct findings in a young male, known case of carcinoma maxilla his scan showed diffuse increased metabolic activity in multiple skeletal muscle groups. there was history of unaccustomed, strenuous sports activity of skiing...
