the aim of this study was to establish and optimise a simplified method of halved grain culture, in order to utilise it to evaluate the ability of isolated sinks (developing wheat grains) in sucrose uptake and conversion (defined by sink strength) under unlimited source conditions. both sucrose uptake and starch synthesis increased linearly over the incubation periods used in this study. a ...

this study was undertaken to compare the efficiency of fresh and frozen-thawed buck semen on in vitro fertilization (ivf) of goat oocytes. cumulus oocytes complexes (cocs) were collected by aspiration of 2-6 mm diameter follicles, which were obtained from slaughterhouse. upon grading, only normal quality cocs were maturated in tcm-199 for 48 hours. the percentage of cocs reached to the m-ii sta...

scented rose species are very important in the genus rosa due to their use in highly-prized essential oil production and as garden roses. the fragrance of the rose flower (attar) captured by extraction is one of the most valuable flavor and fragrance products. a comprehensive study of the papers published in the field of in vitro culture and biotechnology of these species, particularly damask r...

background and purpose: candida albicans is the most common causative agent of candidiasis. candidiasis management is dependent on the immune status of the host, severity of disease, and the choice of antifungal drug. antifungals, specifically triazoles, are widely administered for the treatment of invasive fungal infections. herein, we aimed to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of c. albica...

background: the fundamental principles of internal targeted alpha therapy for cancer were established many decades ago.the high linear energy transfer (let) of alpha radiation to the targeted cancer cellscauses double strand breaks in dna. at the same time, the short range radiation spares adjacent normal tissues. this targeted approach complements conventional external beam radiotherapy and ch...

background: radioprotective efficacy of prunus avium fruit extract (pae) rich in vitamin a, c, e and anthocyanin was studied against radiation induced biochemical alterations in mice brain. materials and methods: in-vitro assays were performed with pae for its antioxidant studies thereafter for in-vivo study, swiss albino mice were divided into five groups. group 1 (control) normal mice. group ...
