Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labrousse is a major biotic constraint in production of chickpea. In the present investigation, all chickpea genotypes [E100Y (m), Gaurav, Pb-7 and L550] induced 100% callus on standard medium with greenish colour and fragile structure. These calli were used for in vitro screening against pathogen, A. rabiei culture filtrate at 0, 5, 10, 15 an...

Background and objectives: Iranian traditional medicine (ITM) resources have recommended different formulations for overcoming hair loss which is a beauty concern worldwide; one of these recommendations is amla oil which has been mentioned to be considerably effective. In the present study, amla oil has been formulated according to ITM and the quality control assessment of the ...

1. Only two serologically different proteins were found in the unheated culture filtrates of both virulent and slightly virulent tubercle bacilli. One of them was the protein which had a sedimentation constant of 3.4 S, and the other was in filtrate fractions with a constant of 2 S. 2. That these proteins were distinct was demonstrated by three methods: quantitative precipitin and precipitin ab...

Hydraulic dredging of stormwater ponds may include on-site dewatering dredged materials using polymers and geotextile filtration. The choice polymer its preparation affect the overall operational effectiveness quality reject water (filtrate) returned to pond. This study examined resulting particle content as well nutrient metal concentrations in filtrate conducted on hydraulically sediment that...

Loss of podocytes underlies progression of CKD. Detachment of podocytes from the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) rather than apoptosis or necrosis seems to be the major mechanism of podocyte loss. Such detachment of viable podocytes may be caused by increased mechanical distending and shear forces and/or impaired adhesion to the GBM. This review considers the mechanical challenges that may l...

Antimycobacterial IgG levels were measured repeatedly during treatment in 12 patients with moderate or severe pulmonary tuberculous disease using a dot immunobinding assay. We used reflectance densitometry equipment to quantify the immunoperoxidase staining and a Mycobacterium bovis BCG culture filtrate and the purified P32 protein as antigens. Antibody response against whole culture filtrate a...
