The chromosome numbers and karyotypes of five species the genus Iris distributed in Turkey were analyzed. These taxa are I. aucheri (Baker) Sealy, reticulata var. M. Bieb., persica L., peshmeniana Güner & T. Hall, sarii Schott ex Baker. Two them (I. sari peshmeniana) endemic Turkey. studied determeined as 2n=18 persica), 2n=20 sari), 2n=24 aucheri), 2n=36 reticulata). Haploid lengths varied fro...

Previous single-unit recording studies have revealed that randomly selected pars reticulata neurons respond in a highly variable and complex fashion to intravenous administration of the dopamine agonist, apomorphine. The current studies were undertaken (1) to assess whether the variable pattern of responses of reticulata neurons to intravenous apomorphine correlates with their sites of projecti...

certain compounds of plants such as essential oils, with insecticidal properties have been considered as alternatives to chemical pesticides for pest control. this study reports the fumigant toxicity of citrus reticulata blanco (rutaceae) peel essential oils against stored-product insect pest, red flour beetle, tribolium castaneum herbst (tenebrionidae) adults. experiment was carried out at 27 ...

Gait and balance disturbances typically emerge in advanced Parkinson's disease with generally limited response to dopaminergic medication and subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation. Therefore, advanced programming with interleaved pulses was put forward to introduce concomittant nigral stimulation on caudal contacts of a subthalamic lead. Here, we hypothesized that the combined stimulation ...

The beginning of medicinal uses of plants dates back to the scribing period of Vedas in India. In ancient days, such uses came into vogue due to accidental experimentation or observation which subsequently gave rise to practice either by a qualified physician or by an astrologer or by lay men, called nostrum or folk-lore. All these have their own distinct manner of use though they are very ofte...

BACKGROUND Cha-hua (Camellia reticulata) is one of China's traditional ornamental flowers developed by the local people of Yunnan Province. Today, more than 500 cultivars and hybrids are recognized. Many ancient camellia trees still survive and are managed by local peopl. A few records on cha-hua culture exist, but no studies expound the interaction between C. reticulata and traditional culture...

Evidence from electrophysiological studies has suggested an inhibitory interaction between GABAergic neurons in substantia nigra pars reticulata and dopaminergic neurons in pars compacta. However, that this inhibitory interaction is due to a projection from pars reticulata to pars compacta has never been demonstrated directly, nor has the GABAergic neuron that mediates the interaction been iden...

The potential causes of adult sex ratio variation in guppies Poecilia reticulata were tested in laboratory experiments that evaluated the mortality rates of male and female P. reticulata exposed to potential predators (Hart's rivulus Rivulus hartii and freshwater prawns Macrobrachium crenulatum) and to different resource levels. Poecilia reticulata mortality increased in the presence of R. hart...
