grass (Mueller-Warrant and Brewster, 1986), common occurrences in grass seed fields. Seed laws and market Effective weed control was a major concern of Oregon grass seed expectations define allowable limits for weed seed congrowers during their recent transition from open-field burning to mechanical methods of managing post-harvest residues. This 4-yr herbitamination, but production efficiency ...

Pre-dispersal seed predation (PDSP) is commonly observed in woody plants, and recognized as a driver of seed production variability that is critical for successful regeneration. Earlier studies on PDSP and its determinants were mostly species specific, with community-level PDSP rarely estimated; and the interactions between the temporal variability of seed production and PDSP remain elusive. In...

BACKGROUND The impact of treated preoperative bacterial infections on the outcome of living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is not well defined. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of pre-transplant bacterial infections within one month before LDLT and their impact on the post-transplant morbidity and mortality. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records ...

Lung transplantation is a recognised treatment for patients with end stage pulmonary disease. Transplant recipients receive life-long administration of immunosuppressive drugs that target T cell mediated graft rejection. However little is known of the impact on NK cells, which have the potential to be alloreactive in response to HLA-mismatched ligands on the lung allograft and in doing so, may ...

abstract seed deterioration of seed is one of the most important limiting or even hindering factors in germination. the main purpose of this study was to determine the effects of salicylic acid and gibberellic acid hormonal on improvement and prevailing seed deterioration in two sesame cultivars. this studywere carried out at the department of agronomy and plant breeding seed laboratories of co...

BACKGROUND In kidney transplant (KT) recipients, CMV infection poses significant morbidity and mortality. Both prophylactic and pre-emptive approaches for preventing CMV infection have been utilized. OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of routine prophylaxis vs. pre-emptive treatment for preventing CMV disease after KT. METHODS We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing...

to obtain detailed information of sowing density and defoliation intensity under more controlled conditions on herbage production and seed yield, paraggio medic was grown on raised-beds located outdoors at the waite agricultural research institute. a split split randomised block design was used. treatments comprised three sowing rates (densities): low (3 kg/ha), medium (15 kg/ha) and high (...
