dryland winter wheat (triticum sativum l.) generally grown in rotation with fallow or chickpea (cicer arietinum l.) constitutes a major crop in the west region of iran. information is limited on the success of more intensive dryland cropping systems while applying conservation tillage management. an experiment was conducted to determine the effect of five tillage systems on soil physical proper...

the influenza a virus is of global concern for the poultry industry, especially the h5 subtype as it has the potential to become highly pathogenic for poultry and mankind. recently, plant expression systems have gained interest as an alternative for the production of vaccine antigens. the goal of the present study was to investigate the possibility of expressing the ha1 protein in nicotiana tab...

An experiment was conducted at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during boro season of 2014 to evaluate the effect of deep placement of nitrogen (N) fertilizers on N use efficiency and yield of BRRI dhan29 under flooded condition. The soil was silt loam in texture having pH 6.27, organic matter content 1.95%, total N 0.136%, available P 3.16 ppm...

The effects of a municipal solid waste compost (MSWC) (from Villarrasa-HuelvaSpain) on growth, yield and mineral composition of tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller, cv. Genaro) were studied. Results were compared with those observed both without the application of organic matter (Control) and with the app1ication of a commercial compost AC (made from sheep manure). Soils of the three ...

BACKGROUND Cytisine (CYT), the most commonly used drug for smoking cessation in Poland, was experimentally found to induce convulsions. There is a lack of studies on the influence of CYT on the anticonvulsant activity of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). METHODS The effects of CYT on the anticonvulsant activity of six AEDs were examined in maximal electroshock (MES)-induced seizures in mice. RESU...

were treated with one dose of MTX 2 days after tumor inoculation (Day 2) and one dose of Cyt on Day 4 or 6. For each group of mice in this study there was a corresponding group that received the same doses of the drugs but for which the order of administration was reversed; i.e., Cyt was given on Day 2 and MTX was given on Day 4 or 6. When the doses of Cyt and MTX were 80 and 30 mg/kg, respecti...

Influenza poses a persistent worldwide threat to the human population. As evidenced by the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, current vaccine technologies are unable to respond rapidly to this constantly diverging pathogen. We tested the utility of adenovirus (Ad) vaccines expressing centralized consensus influenza antigens. Ad vaccines were produced within 2 months and protected against influenza in mice wit...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects humic acid (HA) applications on rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) growth, heavy metal uptake, bioconcentration factor (BCF), translocation (TF), tolerance index (TI), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) enzyme activities and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) content in polluted soil with lead (Pb), chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), zinc (Zn). Three doses...

Abstract Background and Aims: Influenza A(H5N1) viruses  circulating in animals might evolve and acquire the ability to spread from  human to human and thus start a pandemic. Hemagglutinin (HA) has been shown to play a major role in binding of influenza virus to its target cell and the main neutralizing antibody responses elicit against this region. Recent studies have shown that...

A field experiment was conducted at R.G.S.C, Banaras Hindu University, Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, India during 2016 in kharif season (Sep.-Oct.) The aim to evaluate the effect of different nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium level on fodder production sudan grass (Sorghum bicolor var. Sudanese) for optimization growth yield, crude protein content economics grass. experimental laid out split plot d...
