Simple phenotypic and genotypic correlation coefficients were calculated from 18 genotypes of glory lily (Gloriosa superba L.) during two seasons (2007 and 2008). Experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications at the Medicinal Plants Unit, Botanical Garden, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India. Positive phenotypic and genotypic correlat...

UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Some floral traits could be selected by pollinators and nonpollinator agents, and studying the floral traits shaped by physical agents could reveal adaptive mechanisms to the environment. We explored the adaptive significance of the change in floral orientation, from pendulous flowers to erect fruits that have a persistent calyx, in Anisodus luridus, a perenni...

Large excitatory synapses in the auditory system, such as the calyx of Held, faithfully transmit trains of action potentials up to a frequency of a few hundred hertz, and these synapses are thought to display a limited repertoire of synaptic plasticity. Here, we show that brief trains of 100 Hz stimulation induce posttetanic potentiation (PTP) of transmitter release at the calyx of Held. In you...

studies on crop improvement of saffron (crocus sativus l.) can play an important role in development of this native crop. in this context, an experiment was conducted at agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, as a factorial based on randomized complete block design with three replications, during 2005-2010 years. first studied factor was planting pattern of saffron...

field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of thiobencarb and oxadiargyl herbicides on rice (oryza sativa l.) and their possible residual effects on spinach (spinacea oleracea l.) and lettuce (lactuca sativa l.) at dashtnaz and gharakhil agricultural research stations, iran. treatments included thiobencarb at 3.16 and 6.33 kg a.i. ha-1, oxadiargyl at 0.15 and 0.30 kg a.i. ha-1 and ...

The experimental studies were conducted in 2007-2008, 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 crop seasons, in order to know the agro-economic yield of 'Chinês' and "Macaquinho" taro clones, propagated using huge, extra, large, medium, small and tiny cormels. The harvest was done on average on 202 days after planting, in three crop seasons. Based on the joint analysis of variance carried out, it was observed t...

in order to have a sustainable agriculture it is necessary to use environmental friendly inputs to improve ecological aspects of environment. basil (ocimum basilicum l.) is a medicinal and vegetable crop which is cultivated in different parts of the world. an experiment was conducted at research station, faculty of agriculture, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, in year 2009. a complete rand...

We studied the effect of calyx cape gooseberry nanoparticles manufactured by a novel technique. There are several methods, such as jet mill, spray freezing, supercritical anti-solvent technique (SAS), and high-pressure homogenization, available for production drug micro/nanoparticles to improve solubility. Anti-solvent precipitation is also used prepare micro- nanosized particles explain their ...

The calyx of Held, a large axo-somatic relay synapse containing hundreds of presynaptic active zones, is possibly the largest nerve terminal in the mammalian CNS. Studying its initial growth in-vitro might provide insights into the specification of synaptic connection size in the developing brain. However, attempts to maintain calyces of Held in organotypic cultures have not been fruitful in pa...
