Cold stress is an ‎important limiting factor for cereal production. Barley is a host species for arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) with a high genetic diversity in response to cold stress. In order to explore the mechanisms for the ameliorative effect of AMF under cold stress, an experiment was undertaken using completely randomized block design with three factors including temperature treatme...

Stable stress-responsive models have been established in murine (Moloney) virus sarcomas, which lend themselves to further study of intervening immunological mechanisms. Maximum tumor size was increased in sex-segregated male BALB/c mice at 6 and 9 months of age and in females subjected to 3 days of electric shock stress following virus inoculation. Reduction in maximum tumor size was found in ...

in order to evaluate the effect of piriformospora indica fungi inoculation on antioxidant systems and photosynthetic pigments of stevia under salt stress, an experiment was conducted in a factorial based completely randomized design with four replications under in vitro culture conditions. factors include salinity at six levels (0, 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mm of nacl) and inoculation of mycorr...

Sprint interval training (SIT) is reported to improve blood glucose control and may be a useful public health tool. The sirtuins and associated genes are emerging as key players in blood glucose control. This study investigated the interplay between the sirtuin/NAD system and individual variation in insulin sensitivity responses after SIT in young healthy individuals. Before and after 4 weeks o...

Evaluation of balance control ability would become important in the rehabilitation training. In this paper, in order to make clear usefulness and limitation of a traditional simple inverted pendulum model in balance prediction in sit-to-stand movements, the traditional simple model was compared to an inertia (rotational radius) variable inverted pendulum model including multiple-joint influence...

QUESTION Do people with recently acquired paraplegia benefit from a six-week motor retraining program aimed at improving their ability to sit unsupported? DESIGN A randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation, assessor blinding, and intention-totreat analysis. PARTICIPANTS 32 people with recently acquired paraplegia and limited ability to sit unsupported. INTERVENTION All partici...

In plants, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are involved in signalling to hormones, cell cycle regulation, stresses, and plant defence responses. In this work, several MAPKs were detected by immunobloting in roots and nodules of Lupinus albus produced by inoculation with Bradyrhizobium sp. (Lupinus). In vitro kinase assays showed that inoculation of seedling roots with B. sp. (Lupinus)...
