In the course of the study on the hemoglobin contained in newborn bovine blood, two major and five minor components which are specific to newborn bovine hemoglobin were detected by the methods of agar-gel electrophoresis, cellulose-acetate membrane electrophoresis and column chromatography. These components were examined on their alkaline resistance , and the results showed that all the compone...

one of the growth limiting factors of onion plants is root and basal plate rot disease, caused by fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cepae. in this research, eight iranian onion genotypes, azarshahr red, ghom white, herssin, isfahan dorcheh, kashan white, nishabour ishaghabad, yazd abarkoh, zanjan gholigheseh and two commercial genotypes, texas erly grano and yellow sweet spanish were investigated. geno...

literature has always been the stage of representing sublime concepts of humanity and illustrates most latent scenes of human life. war and resistance have been apparently represented in literature as two most important expressions of human life. writers and poets  have always created beautiful works in this context such as those written  after crusades and events  of fateful conflicts between ...

Genetic studies have identified a number of components of signal transduction pathways leading to plant disease resistance and the accompanying hypersensitive response (HR) following detection of pathogens by plant resistance (R) genes. In Arabidopsis, the majority of R proteins so far characterized belong to a plant superfamily that have a central nucleotide-binding site and C-terminal leucine...

Viral infections in animal models appear to be ideal systems for determining toxicity to the immune system by environmental substances. Since many viral infections that are utilized in animals produce systemic disease, these models provide an opportunity to evaluate the interaction between virus and components of host resistance. In these infections it is possible to delineate the role of antib...

In this paper, we analyze the insect resistance management (IRM) plan put in place by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to delay the evolution of resistance to Bt corn in natural populations of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner. This IRM plan is the most impressive mandatory IRM system ever developed. It forms a coherent whole and includes mandatory refuges, actions ...

BACKGROUND Insulin resistance is accompanied by a cluster of metabolic changes, often referred to as metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk in patients with manifest arterial disease. We investigated whether insulin resistance is associated with an increased risk for cardiovascular events in patients with manifest arterial disease without know...
