this study was performed to investigate the effect of putrescine and spermine on some physiological and biochemical characteristics and antioxidant enzymes activity of peach (prunus persica cv. alberta) and almond (prunus dulcis cv. rabi) seedlings under water deficit. the first factor was water regime at two levels (80% or 50% of soil available water), and the second factor was polyamine treat...

water deficit, ultraviolet radiation and carbon dioxide enrichment are the most important environmental factors in global climate change. this research was conducted in tarbiat modares university, research greenhouse and the objective of that was to study the effects of three levels of carbon dioxide (500, 900 and 1300 ppm), uv-radiation (uv-a, b and c with intensity of 18, 25 and 40 µw.cm2 res...

The modulation of primary nitrogen metabolism by water deficit through ABA-dependent and ABA-independent pathways was investigated in the model legume Medicago truncatula. Growth and glutamate metabolism were followed in young seedlings growing for short periods in darkness and submitted to a moderate water deficit (simulated by polyethylene glycol; PEG) or treated with ABA. Water deficit induc...

Climate change projections predict warmer and drier conditions. In general, moderate to severe water stress reduce plant vegetative growth and leaf photosynthesis. However, vegetative and reproductive growths show different sensitivities to water deficit. In fruit trees, water restrictions may have serious implications not only on tree growth and yield, but also on fruit quality, which might be...

terminal drought stress during grain filling period has recently become more common in the semiarid mediterranean regions, where wheat (triticum aestivum) is grown as an important winter cereal crop. the objective of this experiment was to study the effect of terminal drought stress on grain yield, gas exchange variables, and some physiological traits of nine bread wheat cultivars. an experimen...

On September 16, 2021, the Association of Health Technology Assessment Professionals, Russian Clinical Pharmacologists, St. Petersburg Branch ISPOR organized II annual scientific and practical conference with international participation: "RWD/RWE – Research Tools Real-World Practice Today Tomorrow". The topic brought together leading world experts in field RWD/RWE.

Alternative designs can increase the feasibility of pediatric trials when compared to classical parallel designs (PaD). In this work we present a model-based approach based on clinical trial simulations for the comparison of PaD with the alternative sequential, crossover, and randomized withdrawal (RWD) designs. Study designs were evaluated in terms of: type I and II errors, sample size per arm...

Water deficit is one of the most important difficulties, in which happes in dry zone and half dry zones.Water deficit, as the determinative factor, determinates the growing and extension of the plant cover inthese areas. Using the supper attractive, may reduce the production in the crops and control the plantcover in face of dry stress and water deficit. In this paper, the effect of supper attr...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Multiple copies of genes encoding the catalytic subunit (c) of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) are commonly found in plants. For some of these genes, expression is up-regulated under water stress. The aim of this study was to investigate expression and characterization of TaPP2Ac-1 from Triticum aestivum, and to evaluate the effects of TaPP2Ac-1 on Nicotiana benthamiana in res...
