to evaluate the effects of accelerated aging and cold stress on seed germination and seedling growth indices in five oilseed rape cultivars (hyola330, hyola401, hyola420, syn3 and pr401/15e), an experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design of three replications. results indicated that the cultivars were significantly different in germination percentage, seed vigour, germination ...

chilling is an important environmental stress that influences the yield and quality of many agricultural crops. different plants use different systems to endure this stress and minimize its effects. one of these systems is enzymatic reaction. to find out more about responses of different grapevine species and cultivars to the low temperature conditions, their enzymatic changes were evaluated in...

Military training, especially army basic training, is a completely new environment for the new recruit. For many, it is a hostile environment and they either will get injured or not complete the basic training course. Soldiers at the beginning of their military training are especially prone to stress fracture (SF) development as indicated by as high as a 31% occurrence rate in a 14week basic tr...

Since there is limited information on the simultaneous effect of drought stress and salicylic acid on yield and mucilagecontent of the medicinal herb, Plantago ovata Forssk is available, a pot experiment was conducted in factorial form basedon a randomized complete block design with three replications in Jiroft, Kerman Province, south of Iran. As the firstfactor, drought stress included four le...

Drought is one of the most important factors limiting crop yields around the world. Drought stress in plants, the change (increase or decrease) in the production of plant proteins. This research was carried out using bread wheat genotypes. For evaluation of leaf protein pattern in wheat, 10 genotypes were assayed with 3 replications under irrigated (non-stress) and rain-fed (stress) conditions....

introduction: the main purpose of this study was to compare transient ischemic dilation (tid) ratios in spect-low dose ct and spect myocardial perfusion imaging (mpi) by application of different quantitative programs and quantify the possible shift in the upper normal limits of tid ratio in the spect-ct mpi. methods: 149 patients with low pre-test probability for coronary artery disease (cad),...

All organisms live in changeable, stressful environments. It has been reported that exposure to low-dose stresses or poisons can improve fitness. However, examining the effects of chronic low-dose chemical exposure is challenging. To address this issue we used temperature sensitive mutations affecting the yeast cell division cycle to induce low-dose stress for 40 generation times, or more. We e...
