The field experiment on broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica L.) taking three planting dates viz., 21 November, 01 December and 11 December, 2019 four genotypes, namely BARI Broccoli-1, Thiland-1, Thailand-2 Japan-1 was conducted during rabi season of 2019-20 in the experimental Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, On-Farm Division, Dawlatpur, Khulna to investigate effect growth yiel...

Unprimed T cells transferred to heavily irradiated H-2-compatible mice cause a high incidence of lethal graft-vs.-host disease (GVHD)a in certain strain combinations (1-3). GVHD in this setting is a consequence of mature post-thymic donor T cells responding to the multiple minor histocompatibility antigen (minor HA) differences of the host. With the combination of CBA and B10.BR (both H-2~), do...

Many properties of porous calcium phosphate ceramics have been described, but how pore size influences bony integration of various porous ceramics remains unclear. This study was performed to quantify the bony ingrowth and biodegradability of two porous calcium phosphate ceramics with four different pore size ranges (45-80 microm, 80-140 microm, 140-200 microm, and 200-250 microm). Hydroxyapati...

Nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice develop spontaneous autoimmune diabetes that involves participation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Previous studies have demonstrated spontaneous reactivity to self-Ags within the CD4+ T cell compartment in this strain. Whether CD8+ T cells in NOD mice achieve and maintain tolerance to self-Ags has not previously been evaluated. To investigate this issue, we have as...

Biochar can increase the microbial activity of a soil and seed yield oilseed rape. We performed field experiment to determine effect different doses biochar impact nutrient additions on in soils with low pH (4.69). Different were applied plots 2016 (0 t/ha (control), 15 (B15), 30 (B30), or 45 (B45)), fertilization was during 2019 (90 kg P/ha) 2020 (50 N/ha, 80 P/ha, 50 K/ha). Maize grown 2016, ...

as compared to ksc 704 hybrid with 9.844 t/ha, the maize hybrid, ksc 705(k3640/3 × mo17) produced an average grain yield of 11.120 t/ha over seven locations evaluated in final trials for two consecutive years (2007-8). in advanced yield trials done in 2011, across seven locations, this hybrid performed the highest grain yield, 10.450 t/ha, while ksc 704 produced 8.513 t/ha. in addition to the g...

A study was carried out in the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Old Brahmaputra Flood Plains Soil (AEZ-9) during December 2001 to April 2002 to find out the effect of seed rates and NPK levels on dry matter accumulation and grain yield of foxtail millet (Setaria italica L. Beauv.). Four seed rates viz., 8,10,12, and 14 kg/ha and five levels of NPK ferti...

The mitogenic activity of influenza virus is a function of the hemagglutinin (HA) molecule. Purified HA is mitogenic for murine B lymphocytes but not T lymphocytes. Furthermore, like the intact virus, HA of the H2 (but not H3) subtype is mitogenic only for B cells expressing the class II major histocompatibility complex glycoprotein I-E. Since virus bearing uncleaved HA is as mitogenic as virus...

A field experiment was conducted during growing seasons of 2014–15 and 2015–16 at College Agriculture Farm, University Agricultural Sciences, Raichur, Karnataka, to study the effect nutrient management on cotton (Gossypium Hirsutum L.) productivity leaf reddening for targeted yield medium deep black soil under irrigation. Three targets (3, 4 5 t kapas yield/ha)-based site-specific (SSNM) along ...
