banana samples were purchased from a local market in sabzevar located at northeast of iran. then samples stored at refrigerator between 5–10oc during experiments, for prevention of chilling injury, 36 samples at three replications were prepared so as bananas were peeled and sliced with a sharp knife at three thicknesses (3, 5 and 10 mm) and then treated by three pretreatment methods (t1: chemic...

Under natural conditions, plants suffer different stresses simultaneously or in a sequential way. At present, the combined effect of biotic and abiotic stressors is one of the most important threats to crop production. Understanding how plants deal with the panoply of potential stresses affecting them is crucial to develop biotechnological tools to protect plants. As well as for drought stress,...

Background and Purpose Dehydration was found to be involved in the poor prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke. It is unclear whether dehydration status before onset is related with prognosis of thrombolysed patients with acute ischemic stroke. If it is the case, quickly hydrating may improve the prognosis. The present study was designed to explore the issue. Methods Eligible 294 pa...

Raman, UV-Vis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were combined in one experimental setup to directly study the interplay between structure and dispersion of SBA-15 supported vanadium oxide during dehydration. The fully hydrated catalyst is slightly reduced but consists mainly of V species with pseudo-octahedral V coordination strongly resembling the xerogel V2O5·1.2H2O. After dehydration a hi...

osmo-dehydofreezing is a combined process consisting of osmotic dehydration followed by air dehydration and then freezing. osmodehydro freezing is an advances method with osmodrying and freezing of fruits and vegetables. purpose of this study is the production of products with high shelf life properties. in this study plums samples after peeling were dipped in solutions contain of sucrose, asco...

Salt preferences, which vary widely across individuals, are a function of past exposure to both levels of dietary salt and dehydration. From an evolutionary perspective, such plasticity is puzzling, as the health costs of high salt intake, combined with the increased time and energy needed to obtain large quantities of salt under ancestral conditions, suggest that natural selection should have ...

Abiotic stresses have negative effects on potato growth and production. To enhance the abiotic stress tolerance of the commercial potato cultivar, Desiree, rd29A::AtDREB1A transgenic lines have been developed. The salinity and freeze tolerance of these transgenic lines has previously been demonstrated; however, their dehydration tolerance remains to be elucidated. First of all, we have tackled ...

Live pentavalent human-bovine reassortant rotavirus vaccine is recommended in the United States for routine immunization of infants. We describe three infants, two with failure to thrive, who had dehydration and diarrhea within 1 month after their first or second rotavirus immunization and subsequently received a diagnosis of severe combined immunodeficiency. Rotavirus was detected, by means of...
