the selection of high yielding and stress tolerance plant genotypes with the highest water use efficiency and productivity is one of the most important tools for field water management in arid and semi-arid regions. this study was conducted to identify drought tolerant flax families with the highest irrigation water productivity (iwp) among a population of 119 f3 families derived from a cross b...

In order to identify drought tolerant chickpea genotypes, an experiment was conducted in the west of Iran, during 2007-2009 cropping seasons. Several selection indices were used to illustrate genotypic differences in response to drought stress. The results of combined analysis of variance showed that year, genotype, stress conditions and their interaction effects were highly significant. Correl...

objective(s):the hippocampus has been implicated in pathophysiology of schizophrenia. prenatal stress is a contributing risk factor for a wide variety of neuropsychiatric diseases including schizophrenia. this study examined long-term effects of prenatal restraint stress on the stereological parameters in the cornu ammonis (ca) of adult male rats as an animal model of schizophrenia. materials a...

the effect of different fertilizing systems and drought stress during grain development on grain minerals of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) was studied in field experiments on a clay-loamy soil during 2007 and 2008 growing seasons. the treatments consisted of three irrigation regimes (main plots) of: non-stressed (ns, normal irrigation continued until the end of plant physiological maturity), ...

reports indicate that one of the causes of harmful to the genital system, especially the testes is stress. result of damage to testicular quality certainly will affect the quality of sperm fertility. stress could be created secondarily after some pathological conditions such as neurological diseases or environmental factors. one of the causes of stress could be scary voices, such as cat voice f...

The multiprotein complex Mediator is a coactivator of RNA polymerase (Pol) II transcription that is required for the regulated expression of protein-coding genes. Mediator serves as an end point of signaling pathways and regulates Pol II transcription, but the mechanisms it uses are not well understood. Here, we used mass spectrometry and dynamic transcriptome analysis to investigate a function...
