Seven maize, Zea mays L., genotypes selected for native resistance to western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), larval feeding damage (SUM2068, SUM2162, CRW3(S1)C6, NSS1 x CRW3(S1)C6, PI583927, CRW2(C5), and AR17056-16) were evaluated along with three control maize genotypes in the field for plant damage, larval recovery, adult emergence, root si...

BACKGROUND Since in clinical practice long-term estrogen (E) treatment is frequently applied, our aim was to study the effect of concomitant progesterone (P) administration on changes caused by long-term estrogen treatment in the secretion of LH, FSH, PRL and GH. MATERIAL/METHODS Diethylstilbestrol (DES), P or both in silastic capsules were implanted under the skin of prepubertal Sprague-Dawl...

In the present investigation, At RARS, Jagtial, 68 genotypes, including three checks were evaluated for genetic diversity selection of diverse parents. Divergence studies through D2 statistic indicated presence substantial by forming large number clusters with wide range inter-cluster distance.The genotypes distributed into eight based on values. Among clusters, cluster I was largest comprising...

A total of 33 sesame genotypes including three checks were grown in Randomized Block Design replications for evaluation yield and attributing traits. Data was recorded different traits from all the viz., days to 50 % flowering, number productive branches, plant height, height 1st capsule bearing node, capsules per plant, seeds capsule, length, inter-node maturity, 1000-grain weight, cent oil yi...

Sesame cultivars perform differently in various environments comprising specific locations and years. Micronutrient fertilizers increase crop yields can enhance resistance to environmental hazards contribute potential yield. For assessing the effect of environment micronutrients, field experiments were carried out at three different (BARI, URF NARC) Pothwar region, Pakistan, two succeeding year...

Abstract Sulphur (S) is considered to improve the nutrient uptake of plants due its synergistic relationship with other nutrients. This could ultimately enhance seed yield oilseed crops. However, there limited quantitative information on uptake, distribution, and associated impacts sesame under S application. Thus, a two-year field study (2018 2019) was conducted assess different treatments (S ...

Very low birth weight (VLBW) children are at high risk of perinatal white matter injury, which, when subtle, may not be seen using conventional magnetic resonance imaging. The relationship between clinical findings and fractional anisotropy (FA) measurements in white matter of adolescents born prematurely with VLBW was studied in 34 subjects (age = 15 years, birth weight </=1500 g) and 47 age-m...

Abstract To investigate the impact of brassinolide spraying on sesame yield and its components, a field experiment was conducted in summer 2022 Karma region Anbar Governorate. Three independent replicates were using randomized complete block design (RCBD) with split-plot layout. The cultivars (Sumer, Rafidain, Wadea, Hadd) occupied sub-plots, while concentrations (0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 mg L −1 ) c...

Objective- To find normal value of thickness of the lens capsules in domesticated rabbits by ultrasonography. Design- experimental in vivo study and clinical trial. Animals- Twelve matured and immature domesticated rabbit. Procedures- The eyes of 12 non anaesthetized domesticated rabbits were sonograophed using a linear 6-12 MHz high frequency transducer. The thickness of anterior and posterior...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of limited dissection of tenon sheath on the outcome of horizontal strabismus surgery. methods: patients with horizontal strabismus, aged between six and 50 years, were enrolled in this non-randomized study. patients with pattern and vertical strabismus or a history of strabismus surgery were excluded. the strabismus surgeries consisted of bimedial recession (bmr...
