to find the effects of spring foliar application of volck® mineral oil and its combination with fertilizer on the physiological, yield and quality characteristics of pistachio fruit, this research was done in the form of a randomized complete block design (rcbd) of 12 treatments and 3 replications on ohadi pistachio cultivar in chatrud of kerman in 2006 and 2007 for a duration of two years. the...

The yield, nutrient uptake and cost efficacy of Chlorophytum. borivillianum were studied using dual inoculation with AM fungi (Glomus fasciculatum) and Azotobacter chroococcum. The experiment was conducted for two consecutive years with two levels of chemical fertilizers as F1(N-P-K : 24-24-32 kg ha) and F2 (N-P-K : 30-30-40 kg ha). Inoculation of bioinoculants encouraged results; the fresh tub...

The Study was carried out at Department of Sericulture, UAS, GKVK, Bengaluru under irrigated condition during the 2020-21 to study effect soil application liquid organic manures in mulberry and its on larval cocoon traits silkworm, V-1 variety planted 90+150 × 60 cm spacing. Three different were tested against recommended dose fertilizer (control), leaf quality assessed via feeding silkworm. Si...

AIMS Lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from Marek's disease virus (MDV) induced tumours have served as models of MDV latency and transformation. They are stable and can be cultured with no detectable MDV genomic alterations upon repeated passaging. An MDV transformed lymphoblastoid T cell line (T9 cell line) has been reported to contain a disrupted MDV BamHI-H fragment and a Rous associated vir...

We investigated the ability of Fischer rat T9 glioblastoma cells transduced with cDNA genes for the secreted (s) or membrane-associated (m) isoform of M-CSF to elicit an antitumor response when implanted into syngeneic animals. Intracranial (i.c.) implantation of 1 x 10(5) T9 cells expressing mM-CSF (T9/mM-CSF) resulted in 80% tumor rejection. Electron microscopy of the T9/mM-CSF tumor site, 2-...

This study compared the growth inhibitory effects of pure conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers [cis(c)9,c11-CLA, c9,trans(t)11-CLA, t9,t11-CLA, and t10,c12-CLA] on human colon cancer cell lines (Caco-2, HT-29 and DLD-1). When Caco-2 cells were incubated up to 72 h with 200 microM, each isomer, even in the presence of 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS), cell proliferation was inhibited by all CLA is...

Unintentional weight loss and Undernutrition are major problems among older people living in LongTerm Care Facilities (LTCF). Undernutrition manifests in LTCF particularly as weight loss and low Body Mass Index (BMI) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality as well as with functional decline. There are many factors associated with poor nutritional status and affecting protein-en...
