The moderating role of salicylic acid (SA) and putrescine (PUS) as plant growth regulators (PGRs), on the growth parameters and phytochemical and qualitative characteristics of strawberry fruit 'Selva' under osmotic stress was investigated under soilless culture. The osmotic potential (salinity) of the nutrient solution containing different NaCl concentrations (0, 7.5, 15, 30 and 45 mM) and fol...

Abstract Purpose In recent years, considerable research has been conducted on the use of plant growth regulators (PGRs) to improve crop yields. Large amounts PGRs are applied regulate growth. However, few studies have assessed impact PGRs, which leave soil residues, microorganisms, especially rhizobia. Methods this study, influence inoculation soybean roots with Sinorhizobium fredii and Bradyrh...

Purpose Postgraduate researchers (PGRs) appear to be particularly vulnerable mental health problems. Mental health-related stigma and discrimination may endemic within universities, creating a threatening environment that undermines PGRs’ well-being. These environmental characteristics increase absenteeism presenteeism, attendance behaviours have great personal institutional consequences. The s...

Here, efficient plantlet regeneration via somatic embryogenesis from Panax quinquefolium hairy roots was reported. Callus development was optimal on MS medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (1 mg l) and -naphthalene acetic acid (1 mg l). After a 4-week growth, calli were transferred onto MS medium with different combinations of plant growth regulators (PGRs). The highest embryogenesi...

Abstract High rates of mental ill-health in postgraduate researchers (PGRs) represent a significant barrier to life satisfaction and academic success. Nevertheless, there is little knowledge about the extent origins health problems PGRs UK. The current study addresses this gap by investigating prevalence provenance anxiety, depression, sleep problems, subjective wellbeing, suicide behaviours An...

Abstract Worldwide, HEIs strive to provide the best possible training for their PGRs, next generation of researchers. PGRs engagement is crucial a successful completion training, however, research on experiences limited. Moreover, number international has increased steadily over last decade, which poses question whether have different levels compared local PGRs. Therefore, thus study aimed at f...

Salinity is one of the major abiotic factors that limit growth and productivity plants. Foliar application plant regulators (PGRs) may help plants ameliorate negative impacts salinity. Thus, a field experiment was conducted at Botanical Garden University Balochistan, Quetta, to explore potential role PGRs, i.e., moringa leaf extract (MLE; 10%), proline (PRO; 1 µM), salicylic acid (SA; 250 thiou...

BACKGROUND The search for a biomarker of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology (amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau) is ongoing, with the best markers currently being measurements of Aβ and tau in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and via positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. These methods are relatively invasive, costly, and often have high screening failure rates. Consequently, research is aiming to elucidate...

Abstract Postgraduate research students (PGRs) experience disproportionately high levels of psychological distress. Many factors contribute to this poor mental wellbeing and relate each other in complex dynamic ways. However, the relationship between PGRs their supervisor(s) is known strongly affect former. This study explores health with a focus on role student—supervisor relationship. Using c...
