BACKGROUND Severe early life stress (ELS) is associated with negative outcomes. It is not clear, however, what impact moderate ELS has. A growing stress inoculation literature suggests that moderate (vs. low or high) ELS is associated with diminished behavioral and physiological anxiety responses. At the same time, studies of trait anxiety suggest that moderate (vs. low) ELS is associated with ...

to evaluate the effect of bio-fertilizers on physiological traits in soybean under water deficit condition, agreenhouse experiment was conducted in 2011, at faculty of agriculture, tarbiat modares university,using a factorial design based on rcbd with three replications. the experimental treatments weredifferent irrigation regimes including non-stress (40% water depletion), moderate stress (60%...

OBJECTIVE The present pilot study examined the effects of a 4-week-long self-administered self-compassion training on trauma-related guilt and compared it to a stress inoculation control group. METHOD A total of 47 homeless male veterans who were living in transitional housing facilities volunteered to participate in this study. Participants were randomly assigned to either a self-compassion ...

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...

Stable stress-responsive models have been established in murine (Moloney) virus sarcomas, which lend themselves to further study of intervening immunological mechanisms. Maximum tumor size was increased in sex-segregated male BALB/c mice at 6 and 9 months of age and in females subjected to 3 days of electric shock stress following virus inoculation. Reduction in maximum tumor size was found in ...

in order to evaluate the effect of piriformospora indica fungi inoculation on antioxidant systems and photosynthetic pigments of stevia under salt stress, an experiment was conducted in a factorial based completely randomized design with four replications under in vitro culture conditions. factors include salinity at six levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mm of nacl) and inoculation of mycorr...

In plants, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are involved in signalling to hormones, cell cycle regulation, stresses, and plant defence responses. In this work, several MAPKs were detected by immunobloting in roots and nodules of Lupinus albus produced by inoculation with Bradyrhizobium sp. (Lupinus). In vitro kinase assays showed that inoculation of seedling roots with B. sp. (Lupinus)...
