Ethylene sensitivity of grafted and nongrafted tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum ) seedlings with three to four true leaves was examined. The concentration exogenous ethylene that produced symptoms between 1 10 µL?L –1 regardless grafting. Symptoms exposure included leaf epinasty, decreased maximal photochemical quantum yield photosystem II F v / m ), increased plant height (nongrafted only). Graft...

Methods and Results-—Thirteen healthy young (23 2 years) and 13 older men (61 5 years) were instructed to continuously wear a compression sleeve around the right forearm to chronically (2 weeks) elevate brachial artery retrograde SR in 1 arm. We assessed SR, diameter, and flow-mediated dilation in both the sleeve and contralateral control arms at baseline and after 30 minutes and 2 weeks of con...

Transplanting has been the most widespread planting technique for rice production in Asia. It is estimated that more than 85% of rice production in china, and almost 100% in Northeast China adopted transplanting. The healthy and vigorous seeding can reduce thetransplanting shock’ and is the most important for final yield formation. The large root diameter, long root length, large surface area a...

background: radiotherapy is one of the most important factors which results in negative effects on wound healing and increases anastomosis leakage. diverting loop ileostomy has been usually performed after colorectal anastomosis in cases of colorectal cancer with a history of neoadjuvant radiotherapy to decrease the chance of leakage. considering the side effects of diverting loop ileostomy, th...

Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. cv. Monogerm C.S.F. 1971) seeds sown into Vineland fine sandy loam, infested with 15,500 H. schachtii juveniles/pot, showed little growth during an 11-week test in the greenhouse. Seedlings transplanted at 2, 4, and 6 weeks of age had 32, 30, and 31% less top weight and 71, 68, and 59% less root weight, respectively, compared to controls grown in nematode-free soil....
