Background: Longevity of basic medical sciences is a major concern of medical educators and physicians. It has been shown that different learning styles can affect the half-life of the material. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of partially tests during renal physiology course on "the student’s retention of renal physiology knowledge" and "knowledge loss" in pharmacy and medical students...

In India, several species of Meloidogyne are reported on a variety of vegetables, cereals, pulses and ornamental plants. Root knot disease caused by M.incognita is a matter of great concern because this species affects several economically important crop plants. Okra is a very important crop by nutrition and health wise. In the present study the application of various parts of neem (seeds, leav...

The aim of this work is to evaluate the seedling growth and physiology status wheat seeds inoculated with a suspension eight plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) isolates. For purpose, strains were isolated from roots native plants growing in Algerian steppe, then evaluated for their promotion (PGP) features, finally applied on seeds. obtained results showed that majority tested displaye...

Both as consumers and dispersers of seeds, scatter-hoarding rodents often play an important role in the reproductive ecology of many plant species. However, the seeds of many plant species contain tannins, which are a diverse group of water-soluble phenolic compounds that have a high affinity for proteins. The amount of tannins in seeds is expected to affect rodent foraging preferences because ...

Cuticular layers and seeds are prominent plant adaptations to terrestrial life that appeared early and late during plant evolution, respectively. The cuticle is a waterproof film covering plant aerial organs preventing excessive water loss and protecting against biotic and abiotic stresses. Cutin, consisting of crosslinked fatty acid monomers, is the most abundant and studied cuticular componen...
