Two hundred thirty-seven expressed sequence tags (ESTs) of Brassica napus were generated by single-run partial sequencing of 197 random root cDNA clones. A computer search of these root ESTs revealed that 21 ESTs show significant similarity to the protein-coding sequences in the existing data bases, including five stress- or defense-related genes and four clones related to the genes from other ...

The molecular mechanisms and the defense responses associated with partial resistance to Phytophthora sojae in soybean are unknown. In this study, we examined correlations between the expression of defense genes with partial resistance. First, to determine whether constitutive levels of expression of defense-related genes correlated with partial resistance to P. sojae, northern blot analysis of...

Posterior root avulsions of the medial and lateral menisci result in decreased areas of tibiofemoral contact and increased tibiofemoral contact pressures. These avulsions may lead to the development of osteoarthritis. Therefore, two surgical techniques, the transtibial pullout repairand thesutureanchor repair, have recentlybeendeveloped to restore the native structure and function of the menisc...

Controlled alternate partial root-zone irrigation (CAPRI), also called partial root-zone drying (PRD) in other literature, is a new irrigation technique and may improve the water use efficiency of crop production without significant yield reduction. It involves part of the root system being exposed to drying soil while the remaining part is irrigated normally. The wetted and dried sides of the ...

In cariously exposed immature permanent teeth, the treatment choice is controversial in pediatric dentistry. Radical root canal treatment usually appears to be the solution for these teeth. Even partial pulpotomy is a vital treatment for traumatically exposed immature permanent teeth; extending the borders of indication towards cariously exposed immature permanent teeth with reversible pulpitis...

Between 1972 and 1981 57 patients underwent posterior fossa exploration in Oxford by a single surgeon for the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. Fifty-four of these had either partial or total section of the trigeminal sensory root, 2 had microvascular decompression operations and one had both a partial sensory root section and microvascular decompression. There was no mortality and no signific...

We reported simple partial root remodeling using a graft trimmed twin "U" shape for extensive dissection into the right/non-coronary sinuses with acute type A aortic dissection with cardiac tamponade, acute myocardial infarction on the right coronary artery and aortic regurgitation. After total arch replacement with frozen elephant trunk technique for distal dissection, partial root remodeling ...

soilless culture of greenhouse vegetables has been a fast developing section in iran during recent years. most growers fertigate plants without enough knowledge about plant water requirements. since some soilless substrates have low water retention capacity, wasting a great amount of nutrient solution can be occurred due to poor management. in this research work, effects of hydro gel amendment ...
