We studied the response of Elaeagnus rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) to drought stress in a nursery. Photosynthesis and chlorophyll content under drought were change rather modest. Growth and physiological differences in response to drought were compared between four Sea Buckthorn seedlings treatments inhabited in the Qazvin provenance origin seeds in Mashhad city of Iran. The experimental design in...

Aims—To determine the eYcacy of probing in the initial treatment of epiphora and the symptom free period in adults with blocked nasolacrimal ducts. Methods—The results of probing in 85 eyes with epiphora due to nasolacrimal duct obstruction were studied retrospectively after a mean follow up of 7.4 months (SD 11.6) by a questionnaire and interview survey of patients. Results—35% of the eyes had...

A balanced two-factor ANOVA yields a highly significant effect of watering treatment (F = 10.55, df = 1, 24, P = 0.003) and nonsignificant effects of source (F = 0.47, df = 2, 24, P = 0.628) and the watering treatment x source interaction (F = 0.05, df = 2, 24, P = 0.955). There is one low outlier, and one of the treatment groups (Heeia fresh) had substantially less variation than the others, b...

The effect of simulated rainfall frequency on the pathogenicity of Pratylenchus zeae and P. brachyurus was studied in four greenhouse experiments. Corn and grain sorghum were watered at different intervals during predetermined cycles to create a gradient of water-stressed plants. Each experiment included nematode and uninoculated treatments. Growth reaction of plants to different frequencies of...
