The response of pea (Pisum sativum L.) cv. Climax seeds imbibed with 24-epibrassinolide (EBL) and sodium chloride (NaCl) prior to sowing was evaluated. Soaking of seeds in two different concentrations of EBL (5 and 10 μM) for 4 hours, caused an increase in germination, embryo axis length and most of the aspects of shoot and root growth at seedling stage, maturity stage (90 DAS) along with seed ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Xiaozhi decoction (XZD) on posthemorrhoidectomy pain and analgesic medication consumption. METHODS From May 2013 to March 2015, 315 patients who underwent open hemorrhoidectomy in our hospital were enrolled in this study, of whom, 160 patients were randomly assigned to accept sitz bath with warm water after hemorrhoidectomy (con...

PURPOSE Twenty percent of patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) experience progression of disease (POD) within 2 years of initial chemoimmunotherapy. We analyzed data from the National LymphoCare Study to identify whether prognostic FL factors are associated with early POD and whether patients with early POD are at high risk for death. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 588 patients with stage 2...

Compounds released by mungbean roots potentially represent an enormous source of nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) in mungbean-oat intercropping systems. In this study, an in situ experiment was conducted using a 15N - 13C double stem-feeding method to measure N and C derived from the rhizodeposition (NdfR and CdfR) of mungbean and their transfer to oats in an intercropping system. Mungbean plants we...

Nodule CO2 fixation is of pivotal importance for N2 fixation. The process provides malate for bacteroids and oxaloacetate for nitrogen assimilation. The hypothesis of the present paper was that grain legume nodules would adapt to higher plant N demand and more restricted carbon availability at pod formation through increased nodule CO2 fixation and a more efficient N2 fixation. Growth, N2 fixat...

Detached inflorescences of guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba), each bearing 4 uniformly-developing pods at 42 days post anthesis (DPA), were cultured for 6 days in complete liquid medium manipulated with a fixed concentration of mannose and varying concentration of myo-inositol. Such inflorescences, but with 2 pods, were also maintained in the solutions of (i) glucose(U-14C) containing myo-inositol...

grass pea (lathyrus sativus l.) has a high potential for forage production inboth rangelands and cultivated rainfed areas of iran. it is well adapted to semi-arid areas ofwest and north of country where annual rainfall is 250–350 mm. to study the seed and drymatter (dm) yield and agronomic traits, six genotypes of lathyrus sativus l. and twogenotypes of lathyrus inconspicuous l. were provided b...

Aims: In India, the Indian bean is a popular vegetable and legume crop. An attempt was made to analyze variability, correlation as well direct-indirect effects using path analysis for yield its sub-characters.
 Place Duration of Study: Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat. Rabi 2019-20.
 Methodology: The investigation conducted 55 genotypes in randomized block design thre...

This study examined the role of cognitive control in explaining the psychosocial maturity of adolescent (n = 43) and young adult male (n = 40) offenders. We separated psychosocial maturity into prosocial and criminal components, which were statistically unrelated and were explained by different variables. Individuals with higher levels of prosocial maturity were older, had better proactive cogn...

in order to assess the drought tolerance in 15 lentil genotypes, a field experiment was conducted during 2001-02 growing season in dryland agricultural research institute (dari) station of shirvan, in northern khorasan, iran, under rainfed and irrigated conditions. the experimental design was rcb with three replications. data for agronomic traits of plant height, number of empty and filled pods...
