Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. and Nakai] plug seedlings were stored at 15°C in the light at a photosynthetic photon flux density of 15 µmol·m(-2)·s(-1) or in darkness for 6 days, to evaluate their chloroplast ultrastructure, and associated photosynthetic characteristics. Storage in the dark caused swelling, disordered granal arrangement, and starch grain disappearance in the ch...

The techniques used in the early days of hair transplanting were not suitable for the treatment of a majority of women with pattern hair loss. For at least the last 10 years, changes in those techniques have resulted in a reversal of that situation. Today, many women with female pattern hair loss are suitable candidates for transplanting, however, this is not widely appreciated. This article pr...

Mechanized transplanting of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) blanket seedling is an effective strategy to cope with the seasonal conflict and large labor cost in production. The sowing density a key factor cultivate high-quality seedlings suitable for mechanized transplanting. An experiment was conducted investigate effects different levels 638, 696, 754, 812, 870 928 seeds per tray (referred as D1...

The problem of substituting injured or diseased organs for healthy ones has been intriguing scientists for years. Animal experiments and subsequently successful transplantations of human kidneys in the fifties proved that the transplantation of organs is in reality possible, but complete success depends on the further understanding of immunological processes occurring in the recipient in respon...

Nutrient loading can improve the growth and nutrient content of nursery-grown Betula alnoides Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don, but it is unknown whether enhances uptake after transplanting. Plants were grown with three treatments (N100, N200, N400; 100, 200, 400 mg N per plant as 15N-urea) in nursery containers then transplanted into plastic pots, or without controlled-release fertilizer (F0 F10, 0 10 g p...

We report the reconstruction of two cases of floating thumb by transplanting the distal two-thirds of the fourth metatarsal. Opponensplasty was performed after six months and resulted in satisfactory morphological and functional results. The metatarsal defect was filled by a full-thickness iliac bone graft including the apophysis. This prevented shortening of the fourth toe and formed a new met...
