maize hybrid ksc 703 (k47/3 x mo17) produced grain yield 12.034 t/ha over seven locations in 2010, compared to ksc 704 with 12.034 t/ha, as check. during two years evealuation ( 2011-2012) over 12 locations, this hybrid revealed grain yield 11.291 t/ha, comparing to ksc 704 with 9.506 t/ha, showing 1.785 t/ha (18.8%) yield increase. on farm experimants carried out in islam abad, ravansar, mahta...

In vitro studies have suggested that tolerance induction (i.e., anergy) is associated with an inability of T cells to proliferate vigorously upon Ag recognition. In vivo, the relationship between T cell proliferation and tolerance induction is less clear. To clarify this issue, we have been studying a model system in which naive CD4+ T cells specific for the model Ag hemagluttinin (HA) are adop...

Low molecular weight hyaluronate (LMW-HA) blocks interactions between T lymphocyte CD44 and hyaluronate (HA), a heteropolysaccharide that is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and ubiquitously in the extracellular matrix. This study was undertaken to assess the ability of LMW-HA to modify the course of experimental acute renal allograft rejection. Lewis (LEW) rats were bilaterally ne...

The study has found that on average for two years of research, the yield soft winter wheat was highest at sowing rates 5 million/ha – 5.53 t/ha. Under 4 indicator made 5.28 t/ha or only % less compared to rate million/ha. Sowing increase 8 reduced grain by 3–5 %. In addition, stability index high 0.95–0.98. varied from 4.82 5.59 in more favorable 2021, and 2020 4.56 5.47 depending rate. Increas...

A field experiment was carried out in non-Calcareous Floodplain Soil of Spices Research Sub-Station, Lalmonirhat under AEZ 2 during the rabi season of 20072008 and 2008-09. The objectives were to evaluate the effect of boron on the yield of mustard and to screen out the suitable variety tested against different boron levels for maximizing yield. Three varieties of mustard viz., BARI Sharisha-11...

Immune tolerance to self-antigens is established during lymphocyte differentiation in the thymus, but a simple means to induce antigen-specific tolerance in the thymus is still elusive. We show here that intrathymic injection of a lentiviral vector expressing the hemagglutinin antigen (HA) in TCR-HA transgenic mice resulted in negative selection of HA-specific effector T cells and sustained pos...

Since HA-1-specific T cells have been shown to make a significant contribution to the clinical responses in patients with relapsed leukemia, we investigated the feasibility of adoptive transfer of in vitro induced HA-1-specific CD8 positive T cells to patients with relapsed leukemia after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The in vitro generation of clinical grade HA-1-specific T-cell lines ...

The application of organic fertilizers alone or in combination with bio-fertilizers is important for sustainable agriculture, healthy agricultural production and restoring soil quality. Compost, vermicompost and mycorrhiza amendments could improve soil quality and plant yield. However, little is known about their impact on yield and quality of European borage (Borago officinalis L.). To evaluat...

Targeting of antigens to immature dendritic cells has been shown to result in antigen-specific T-cell tolerance in vivo. In the INS-HA/TCR-HA transgenic mouse model for type 1 diabetes, we tested the potential of the dendritic cell-specific monoclonal antibody DEC-205 conjugated to the hemagglutinin (HA) antigen (DEC-HA) to prevent disease onset. Whereas untreated INS-HA/TCR-HA mice all develop...
