Recent studies have demonstrated that interleukin-lO (IL-b) has the capacity to protect mice from the lethal effects of endotoxin. In this investigation, we have examined the ability of IL-b to protect both normal mice and Corynebacterium parvum-primed mice against endotoxin lethality. In the overwhelming majority of experiments, recombinant murine IL-lO (rMuIL-1O) and recombinant human IL-lO (...

Cadmium (Cd) is considered one of the most toxic heavy metals to living organisms, being very persistent in soil and non-biodegradable, thus posing a long-term hazard plants humans. In recent years, application different molecules at seed level, known as chemical priming, has been studied method improve stress tolerance plants. present study, we tested effect hydro-priming proline priming lettu...

Abstract Background Inflammatory bowel disease is a chronic and excessive inflammation of the colon small intestine. We previously reported that priming mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) with poly(I:C) induced them to express indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO). tried find out whether IFN-γ poly(I:C)-primed MSCs have better therapeutic efficacy on experimental colitis in IDO1-dependent manner. Met...

Various studies showed that green leaf volatiles play vital roles in biotic and abiotic stresses. However, their role drought resistance has never been studied. In order to investigate the possible of (Z)-3-hexeny-1-yl acetate (Z-3-HAC, a type volatile), various physiology experiments were performed understand physiological mechanisms Z-3-HAC alleviating wheat stress. Drought-resistant seedling...

A laboratorial study was carried out to investigate the effect of NaCl priming on seed germination and seedling growth of canola. Canola seeds were primed with 1% NaCl solution for 24 hours, at 20°C. Then primed and non-primed seeds were irrigated with seven different saline solutions consisted of 0 (control), 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50% concentrations of NaCl. Results indicated that...
