abstract due to calcareous soil conditions, zinc deficiency is a yield limiting factor for wheat production in iran. one solution for this problem is the cultivation of zn-efficient wheat varieties. ten wheat cultivars (nine bread wheat and one durum wheat) with different tolerance to zn deficiency were studied in a greenhouse experiment. plants were treated with zn (10 mg zn kg-1 soil as znso4...

Dorsal spinal cord neurons receive and integrate somatosensory information provided by neurons located in dorsal root ganglia. Here we demonstrate that dorsal spinal neurons require the Krüppel-C(2)H(2) zinc-finger transcription factor Bcl11a for terminal differentiation and morphogenesis. The disrupted differentiation of dorsal spinal neurons observed in Bcl11a mutant mice interferes with thei...

The translocation of synaptic Zn(2+) to the cytosolic compartment has been studied to understand Zn(2+) neurotoxicity in neurological diseases. However, it is unknown whether the moderate increase in Zn(2+) in the cytosolic compartment affects memory processing in the hippocampus. In the present study, the moderate increase in cytosolic Zn(2+) in the hippocampus was induced with clioquinol (CQ)...

Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rmt3 is a member of the protein-arginine methyltransferase (PRMT) family and is the homolog of human PRMT3. We previously characterized Rmt3 as a ribosomal protein methyltransferase based on the identification of the 40 S Rps2 (ribosomal protein S2) as a substrate of Rmt3. RMT3-null cells produce nonmethylated Rps2 and show mis-regulation of the 40 S/60 S ribosomal sub...

Cellular energy status is an important regulator of plant growth, development, and stress mitigation. Environmental stresses ultimately lead to energy deficit in the cell which activates the SNF1-RELATED KINASE 1 (SnRK1) signaling cascade which eventually triggering a massive reprogramming of transcription to enable the plant to survive under low-energy conditions. The role of Arabidopsis thali...

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter of the catecholamine family and has many important roles, especially in human brain. Several diseases of the nervous system, such as Parkinson's disease, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, restless legs syndrome, are believed to be related to deficiency of dopamine. Several studies have been performed to detect dopamine by using electrochemical analysis. In...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder increasing in prevalence. The core features of this disorder include developmentally inappropriate levels of inattention, impulsivity, distractibility, and motoric over activity. There is enough research evidence that help patients with ADHD in other to get real benefits with protein, polyunsaturated fatty acids, e...

The effectiveness of chitosan zinc oxide nanoparticles (CS-ZnO-NPs) on growth and yield wheat (Triticum aestivum L., Sakha-93), content water use efficiency (WUE) under stress were investigated. A pot experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design by foliar application CS-ZnO-NPs. Wheat plants sprayed four times at 15, 30, 45 60 days after sowing. treatments were: control (treated w...

An abundance of research has investigated causes and treatments for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The research includes identification of suboptimal levels of nutrients and sensitivities to certain foods and food additives. This review gives an overview of this research and provides an up-to-date account of clinical trials that have been conducted with zinc, iron, magnesium, ...

Abstract The choices of consumer towards food have been changed. Consumer prefers to eat which is not only safe but also nutritious. Now a day, they like the promote their health and help in minimizing nutrition related hazards. Rice staple many countries, most emerging issue that rice deficit minerals. ranks second among cereals dietary uses around world. iron (Fe) zinc (Zn) these are importan...
