BACKGROUND AND AIMS We sought to explore the interactions between roots and soil without disturbance and in four dimensions (i.e. 3-D plus time) using X-ray micro-computed tomography. METHODS The roots of tomato Solanum lycopersicum 'Ailsa Craig' plants were visualized in undisturbed soil columns for 10 consecutive days to measure the effect of soil compaction on selected root traits includin...

To determine the pharmacological (Anti-inflammatory) potential of in-vitro cultures of Asparagus racemosus. Anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extracts of shoot, root their calli and genetically transformed shoot culture was performed using carrageenan induced rat paw edema method. The albino rats were treated orally with two dosage (500 or 1000 mg/kg body weight of rats) of drugs, one ho...

drought, high and low tempratures are the most important abiotic stresses in chickpea cultivation. improving plant root characteristics (root length and root volume) is one of the ways to increase drought tolerance in chickpea. mycorrhizal symbiosis increases drought resistance of host plants through different mechanisms. to study the effects of water stress and mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on...

in order to investigation of waterlogging stress effects on morphological and physiological traits of rapeseed in different developmental stages, a pot experiment was conducted at gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources during 2010-2011. the experiment design was completely randomized with factorial arrangement and three replications. examined factors were developmental...

BACKGROUND Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography has been reported to be valuable for evaluating the geometry of cardiac chambers. We validated the accuracy of 3D transthoracic echocardiography for quantifying aortic root geometry in comparison with cardiac multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT). METHODS Twenty-three patients who underwent cardiac MDCT and showed normal left ventricular ...

OBJECTIVE Molar intrusion by mini-screw implantation can cause different degrees of root resorption. However, most methods (2-D and 3-D) used for evaluating root resorption have focused on the root length without considering 3-D resorption. The purpose of this study was to volumetrically evaluate root resorption using cone beam computed tomography(CBCT) after mini-screw implant intrusion. MAT...

in order to study the effect of soil compaction on root and shoot growth of wheat plants (shahriar variety), a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted in guilan university. the study design was factorial with completely randomized in three replications. treatments included three compaction levels; (normal compaction, compaction of ten percent and twenty percent) and two type of soil texture (cl...
