Background: Currently, frozen embryo transfers contribute an increasing rate of births from assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, very few studies evaluated the neonatal outcomes from frozen embryo transfer. This study aimed to investigate and compare the neonatal outcomes from frozen embryo transfer versus fresh embryo transfers. Materials and Method...

The distribution of Cry1Ab toxin was detected in the leaves of genetically modified maize of genetic event MON 810 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cry1Ab toxin contents in the leaves at reproductive (milk, R3) phenological stage were measured to be between 3,878 and 11,148 ng Cry1Ab toxin/g fresh weight. Toxin content was significantly lesser (significant difference (SD) = 1,823 ng Cry1Ab...

This experiment was conducted with the objective of evaluating the performance sage (Salvia officinalis L.) in different agroecology of Ethiopia for morpho-agronomic and chemical traits at Wondo genet, Hawassa, Qoqa and Holleta for two years from 2011/2012 to 2012/2013 cropping seasons. Data on plant height, branch number/plant, fresh leaf weight/plant, fresh stem weight/plant, above ground bio...

application of edible coatings to enhance storage life of fresh fruit has recently been under considerable attention. this experiment was conducted in order to explore the effect of chitosan coating and storage temperature on the postharvest life of pomegranate (punica granatum l.) fruit. therefore, pomegranate fruits ‘rabbab-e-neyriz’ were dipped in 0, 1 and 2% aqueous chitosan solutions, air ...

stress management is considered as an important factor in nowadays landscape. therefore this research was conducted using a factorial experiment based on a randomized completely design with regulated deficit irrigation at four levels (100, 75, 50, and 25% of lawn irrigation requirement) and three replicates to evaluate some biochemical and physiological traits on four groundcover plants (lolium...

the effect of different ratio of vermicompost (0, 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50 %) in two type of substrate (coco peat and coco peat-perlite (50:50 v:v)) on growth characteristics of gooseberry (physalis peruviana l.) seedling was investigated in research greenhouse of university of tehran, in 2013. a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four replications was carried out. crite...

In order to investigate the effect of pruning and potassium nutrition on pumpkin grain yield and quality, a factorial experiment based on complete block design with four replications was carried out in nooshar village of ardabil province, Ardabil, Iran, in 2007. Experimental factors include potassium nutrition in three level (0, 75 and 150 kg/ha from potassium sulfate) and stem pruning (without...

Background: The composition of the planting beds and its microorganisms has a very important role on the establishment, growth and phytochemical performance of medicinal plants. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of different planting beds and inoculation of mycorrhizal fungus on the changes of stevioside, rebaudioside, and morpho-physiological traits of stevia. Meth...

A study was conducted to evaluate effects of different bone preparation methods on bone parameters and the correlations between bone breaking strength and the other bone parameters. Bone breaking strength is dramatically changed depending on bone preparation methods, whereas other bone parameters such as ash content and ash concentration are not significantly influenced by bone preparation meth...
