Receptor-like kinases (RLK) play fundamental roles in plant growth and stress responses. Compared with other RLKs, little information is provided concerning the S-locus LecRLK subfamily, which is characterized by an extracellular G-type lectin domain and an S-locus-glycop domain. Until now, the function of the G-type lectin domain is still unknown. In a previous research, we identified a Glycin...

patients with schizophrenia reportedly have a high prevalence of obesity. one of the reasons is a poor choice of diet. the goal of this study was to clarify characteristics of the dietary intake across the strata of the body mass index (bmi) and to compare the general population and patients with schizophrenia in japan.this is a cross-sectional study of 51 patients with schizophrenia residing i...

Drought and high salinity are two major abiotic factors that restrict the productivity of alfalfa. By application of the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method, an oxidative responsive gene, CsALDH12A1, from the desert grass Cleistogenes songorica together with the bar gene associated with herbicide resistance, were co-transformed into alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). From the all 90 transfo...

The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of dietary sodium restriction on diurnal blood pressure (BP) variation in primary aldosteronism. We studied the diurnal variation in the systemic hemodynamic indices and in baroreflex sensitivity (BRS). In 13 subjects with aldosterone-producing adenomas (2 males; mean age, 39+/-2 years), intra-arterial pressure was monitored telemetrically ...

environmental stresses, such as salinity can play an important role in disturbing different stages of plant growth, development, and especially seed germination in arid and semiarid regions in iran. turf grasses are highly dissipation in areas associated with saline soils and/or saline irrigation water. in order to study the effects of salinity on turf grasses germination, an experiment was con...

Salinity systems are well known as extreme environmental that occur either naturally or by certain human activities, in arid and semiarid regions, which may harm crop production. Soil salinity identification is essential for soil management reclamation projects. Information derived from space data acquisition (e.g., Landsat, ASTER) considered one of the most rapid techniques mapping Salt-Affect...

Soil Salinity has been a large problem in arid and semi arid regions. Preparation of such maps is useful for Natural resource managers. Old methods of preparing such maps require a lot of time and cost. Multi-spectral remotely sensed dates due to the broad vision and repeating of these imageries is suitable for provide saline soil maps. This investigation is conducted to provide saline soil map...

The creation of salt-tolerant wheat genotypes can provide a basis for sustainable production in areas that are particularly sensitive to the impacts climate change on soil salinity. This study aimed select could serve as genetic resource breeding salinity tolerance. A two-year experiment was established with 27 genotypes, grown stress and non-stress conditions. Agronomic parameters (plant heigh...

The NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2 and CUC2) transcription factors are ubiquitously distributed in plants play critical roles the construction of plant organs abiotic stress response. In this study, we described cloning a Suaeda liaotungensis K. factor gene SlNAC4, which contained 1450 bp, coding 331 amino acid. We found that SlNAC4 was highly expressed stems S. liaotungensis, expression considerably up-reg...
