the present study was carried out in order to test the effect of grapevine rootstocks root growth on biomass and leaf nutrition status in extreme soil conditions. own rooted cuttings of rootstocks fercal, teleki kober 5bb, georgikon 28 and four new rootstock hybrids from the breeding program of georgikon faculty, hungary (fb01, jb01, zamor 17 and szf10) were grown 3 months in pots. the 5 l pots...

to study the effects of chitosan at 0.5 (c1), 0.1 (c2), 0.05 (c3) and 0.01 (c4) (weight percent) concentrations, distilled water (c5) and one percent acetic acid (c6) as controls on physiological and morphological characteristics of two landrace and modified (szk-1) dragonhead (dracocephalum moldavica l.) varieties, a factorial experiment was conducted in completely randomized design in germina...

background: to glean insights into the relationship among hepatitis b virus (hbv) genotype/subgenotypes, a1762t/g1764a mutations and advanced liver disease such as liver cirrhosis (lc) and hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) in southeast china. methods: a case-control study was performed, consisting of chronic hepatitis b (chb) patients (n=160), lc patients (n=150), and hcc patients (n=156). fluores...

Stratocumulus clouds are an integral component of the climate system. They affect both its mean state and variability, and are central to many questions related to climate change. They are also very difficult to represent with fidelity in modern forecast systems and climate models. Their importance is associated with what one may call long-term climatic robustness, which is in marked contrast t...

Soil and water salinity substantially constrain crop and biomass production. To investigate the changes in morphological parameters of lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum) cultivars under CaCl2 salinity conditions a greenhouse experiment was conducted. Cultivars namely, ‘Champagne’ (C1), ‘Lime Green’ (C2), ‘Blue Picotee’ (C3) and ‘Pure White’ (C4), were subjected to salt stress (0–30 mM CaCl2) in ...

To assess the role of cytochrome c2 as a respiratory electron carrier, we obtained a double mutant of Rhodobacter capsulatus defective in cytochrome c2 and in the quinol oxidase260. This mutant was able to grow chemoheterotrophically, indicating that an electron pathway independent of cytochrome c2 was functional between the ubiquinol:cytochrome c2 oxidoreductase and the cytochrome oxidase410.
