Method 2. (Modification of Napier, 1922.) Here instead of four drops of blood being taken directly from the patient's finger at the time of the test, as done by Napier, an equal quantity of previously collected blood was put into a small test tube containing c. c. of citrated saline (Formula : sod. cit. 0.5 grm., sod. chlor. 0.9 grm., and water 100 c. c.). After adding a drop of formalin, it wa...

Willows are one of the most important tree species for landscaping, biofuel and raw timber. Screening salt-tolerant willow varieties is an effective approach to balance wood supply and demand. However, more salt-tolerant willow varieties are required and little is known regarding the mechanism of salt tolerance at the gene expression level. In this paper, two willow varieties were studies in te...

this study was carried out in order to evaluate allelic diversity of microsatellite markers in qtl region for salinity tolerance on chromosome 10 in rice and evaluation of agronomical traits of some iranian rice cultivars in salinity stress along with two tolerant (pokkali) and sensitive (ir29) check varieties, and association analysis for morphological traits using microsatellite markers.based...

A wild wheatgrass, Thinopyrum ponticum (2n = 10x = 70), which exhibits substantially higher levels of salt tolerance than cultivated wheat, was employed to transfer its salt tolerance to common wheat by means of wide hybridization. A highly salt-tolerant wheat line S148 (2n = 42) was obtained from the BC3F2 progenies between Triticum aestivum (2n = 42) and Th. ponticum. In the cross of S148 × s...

OBJECTIVE Salt intake restriction is important to health maintenance in subjects tending toward excessive intake. For convenience salt intake is ordinarily estimated at health check up centers using a salt-preference questionnaire, but whether or not the questionnaire identifies excessive salt consumers is unclear. METHODS Daily salt intake in 725 subjects including 452 men examined at our he...
