abstract- to investigate the effect of draught stress on water relations, stomatal density, chlorophyll content and yield of rapeseed, an experiment was done with four levels of drought stress including l1 (field capacity, fc), l2 (70% available water content, awc), l3 (50% awc), and l4 (30% awc), within three growth stages- including stem elongation (t1), onset of flowering (t2) and silique fo...

s:7477:"Background: To explore the Impact of Infertility on Pschological and Social Status of Women in Iran Materials and Methods: Design A qualitative design, based on the content analysis approach, was employed for data collection and analysis of the experiences of Iranian women on infertility. Qualitative studies are intended to enhance understanding and describe the world of human experienc...

A meta-analysis on the effects of management and animal-based factors on the performance and feed efficiency of growing pigs can provide information on single factor and interaction effects absent in individual studies. This study analysed the effects of such factors on average daily gain (ADG), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of grower and finisher pigs. The multivariate model...

A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of two nitrogen levels (N: 0,100 kg ha -1 ) and four phosphorus levels (P: 0, 60, 90, 120 kg P2O5 ha -1 ) on smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss.) seed quality by measuring germination, mean germination time (MGT), protein and phosphorus contents, acid phosphoesterase (APT) and antioxidant enzymes activities, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) ...

the research aims at studying the effects of mycorrhizal fungi (glomus fasciculatum, g. mosseae and mixed composition) on growth, photosynthesis and nutrient absorption of ziziphus spina-christi in mehran greenhouse, ilam province. the result showed that colonization rate in mixed treatment was more than pure treatment of g. fasciculatum and g. mosseae. also, root fresh weight, stomatal conduct...

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Most Koreans consume nearly 70-80% of the total sodium through their dishes. The use of a salinometer to measure salinity is recommended to help individuals control their sodium intake. The purpose of this study was to compare sodium content through chemical analysis and salinity measurement in foods served by industry foodservice operations and homemade meals. MATERIALS...

The aim of this study was to optimize the extraction of p-menthadienol isomers and aristolone from the essential oil of Elyonurus hensii by hydrodistillation. The study of the seasonal variation in the chemical composition has shown that the plant material has been subject to a natural selection regarding the biosynthesis of the p-menthadienol isomers: during periods of water stress, the extrac...

Cytochrome P-450 content (nmol/g of liver) differed within regions of rat liver according to proximity to intrahepatically implanted Morris hepatoma 7795 or 5123D. Liver adjacent to tumor had higher microsomal cytochrome P-450 content, decreased DNA content (mg/g of liver), and unaltered cytochrome c reductase activity compared to histologically indistinguishable liver far-removed from the tumo...

The purpose of this research was to know the effect of energy, lipid and protein in broodstock diets on spawning fecundity and eggs quality of giant gourami (Ospheronemus gouramy Lac). The study was consisted of three experiments, namely energy content experiment, lipid content experiment and protein content experiment. Latin Square Design with 4 treatments, 4 rows and 4 columns was used to ana...

Changes in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) content in cancers have been reported with controversial results, probably due to small sample size and variable pathological conditions. In this study, mtDNA content in 302 breast tumor/surrounding normal tissue pairs were evaluated and correlated with the clinico-pathological characteristics of tumors. Overall, mtDNA content in tumor tissues is significant...
