inheritance of several yield-based drought resistance indices was studied by a halfdiallel method using seven winter wheat varieties. the parental lines were such chosen as to represent a broad range of drought stress resistance. the experiment was conducted in a split-plot design at the research farm, faculty of agriculture, zanjan university, iran, in 1998. irrigated vs. rainfed regimes w...

This study investigated the effect of gum arabic (GA) combined with microbial transglutaminase (TG) on the functional properties of porcine myofibrillar protein (MP). As an indicator of functional property, heat-set gel and emulsion characteristics of MP treated with GA and/or TG were explored under varying NaCl concentrations (0.1-0.6 M). The GA improved thermal gelling ability of MP during th...

The aim of this study was to prepare zopiclone-loaded polycaprolactone microspheres by emulsion solvent evaporation technique with different drug-to-carrier ratios {MP 1 (1:1), MP 2 (1:2), MP 3 (1:3), and MP 4 (1:4)}, characterize and evaluate the in vivo performance. The microspheres were characterized for particle size, surface morphology, drug excipient compatibility, percentage yield, drug ...

Drought is the most significant constraint for crop production in arid and semi-arid regions. In order to assess drought tolerance in fifteen rapeseed (Brassica napus) cultivars using yield-based drought tolerance indices, two experiments were conducted at the research station of College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Shiraz, Iran during 2009-2010 growing season. The cultivars were...

to study drought resistance indices of eight potato cultivars and to determine the most tolerant variety, two experiments were conducted in the form of complete randomized block design with three replications (stress and non-stress conditions) in 2002. seven indices, ssi, tol, sti, msti, gmp, tol , and mp were used to determine tolerant varieties. it was found that mp, sti, gmp, and msti were a...

methylprednisolone (mp) has been widely used as a standard therapeutic agent for the treatment of spinal cord injury (sci). because of its controversial useful effects, the combination of mp and other pharmacological agents to enhance neuroprotective effects is desirable. magnesium sulfate (mgso4) has been shown to have neuroprotective and antihyperalgesic effects. in the present study, we soug...
