winter sown chickpeas produce more yields in comparison with spring type. this function is hampered by the sensitivity of the crop to low temperature. in order to study and identify high yielding and cold tolerant chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) lines, 65 entries along with one susceptible check variety namely ilc533 were evaluated in a randomized complete block design (rcbd) with two replication...

cold stress during the beginning of the season usually causes damage to rice plants in the north of iran. in this study, the expression of four genes namely osp5cs2, osttp1, oscoin and oslti6a, was studied in 14-day-old seedlings of a cold tolerance pr genotype and a cold sensitive hashemi variety during cold stress (5°c for 24h) by means of differential display method. pcr products were quanti...

Temperature variations impact on the balance between photosynthetic electron transport and electron-consuming assimilation reactions and transiently increase generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Previous studies demonstrated that the expression of C-repeat binding factors (CBFs), which activate cold acclimation reactions, respond to chloroplast ROS signals and that cold deacclimation is...

Cold pain is a frequent symptom in neuropathic pain. Compared to other pain modalities, such as heat pain, the mechanisms behind physiological and pathological cold pain remain elusive. Moreover, it is becoming increasingly evident that cold pain pharmacology differs between various neuropathic pain conditions, making mechanism-directed treatment based on an understanding of the underlying path...

BACKGROUND Pain is elicited by cold, and a major feature of many neuropathic pain states is that normally innocuous cool stimuli begin to produce pain (cold allodynia). To expand our understanding of cold induced pain states we have studied cold pain behaviors over a range of temperatures in several animal models of chronic pain. RESULTS We demonstrate that a Peltier-cooled cold plate with +/...

Cold chain logistics guarantees the quality and freshness of some especial agriculture products. At present cold chain logistics monitoring system can just monitor single point of the temperature in the cold chain vehicle body, it cannot estimate the space temperature distribution of cold chain vehicle body. This paper introduces a cold chain logistics monitoring system based on ARM Linux. The ...

The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is cold sensitive. Most cultivars are injured during winter periods, especially in sub-tropical regions. There is a lack of molecular information on the pineapple's response to cold stress. In this study, high-throughput transcriptome sequencing and gene expression analysis were performed on plantlets of a cold-tolerant genotype of the pineapple cultivar 'Shenwan'...

Cold stress is an ‎important limiting factor for cereal production. Barley is a host species for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) with a high genetic diversity in response to cold stress. In order to explore the mechanisms for the ameliorative effect of AMF under cold stress, an experiment was undertaken using completely randomized block design with three factors including temperature treatme...

The aquatic products are the term of the aquatic animal and plant products and their processed products produced by marine and freshwater fisheries in general. The marketability of aquatic products is an important issue in the development of aquaculture. In addition, processing and marketing facilities provide the great opportunities for employment within the aquaculture industry. Such products...
