investigation of physiological responses to water deficit in sesame (sesamum indicum l.) genotypes can help to identify effective mechanisms of plant resistance to stress. therefore, chlorophyll content, proline, soluble carbohydrates, net photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, maximum quantum efficiency (fv/fm), plant height and shoot dry weight in a complete block factorial pot experiment...

the influence of water deprivation on potted grape (vitis vinifera l.) was investigated. leaf mass area (lma) and biochemical responses, including chlorophyll, total protein, peroxidase activity, soluble carbohydrates, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance were assessed in leaves of ‘sahani’ and ‘bidane sefid’ grape cultivars subjected to progressive drought (soil water potentials of: -0.2, -...

in order to study the sensitivity of vegetative growth to water deficit stress of a late-maturing peach (prunus persica l. cv. elberta) under orchard conditions, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete-block design with three treatments and four repetitions in shahdiran commercial orchard in mashhad during 2011. three irrigation treatments including 360 (low stress), 180 (moderate st...

BACKGROUND Mycophenolic acid (MPA), either given as an ester pro-drug or as an enteric-coated sodium salt, is the most commonly prescribed anti-proliferative immunosuppressive agent used following organ transplantation and widely applied in immune-mediated diseases. Clinicians are well aware of common adverse reactions related to MPA treatment, in particular diarrhea, leukopenia and infections....

in order to evaluate the effect of different levels of drought stress on some physiological parameters in grapevine, a potted experiment with iranian grapevine cultivars ‘sahani’, ‘bidane-sefid’ and ‘farkhii’ was conducted in summer of 2008. the experiment was performed while employing four drought stress (water potential of soil, ?s= -0.2, -0.6, -1, -1.5 mpa) treatments each in three replicati...

OBJECTIVES After the release of the results of the Women's Health Initiative, an emerging consensus suggests that continuous-combined hormone therapy (CCHT) should be limited to short-term management of moderate-to-severe vasomotor symptoms. This, in turn, raises the important question of the economic value, if any, of short-term CCHT for this indication. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analy...
