Abstract Background Freezing injury is a devastating yet common damage that occurs to winter rapeseed during the overwintering period which directly reduces the yield and causes heavy economic loss.Thus, it is an important and urgent task for crop breeders to find the freezing-tolerant rapeseed materials in the process of breeding.Existing large-sc
Effect of Different Primings on Germination and Growth Parameters of Rice (Oryza sativa) Seeds during Drought Stress, as Compared with Silver Nanoparticles
The present study sought to compare the effect of seed priming by hydropriming, ascorbate and calcium chloride (CaCl2) versus different concentrations of silver nanoparticles on two Iranian rice cultivars (Hashemi and Shiroodi) under drought stress.The experimental design, which was factorial, was completely randomized.The first factor Socks was co
Numerical simulation of turbulent channel flow with particle-adhered riblet surfaces
Numerical simulations of particle laden and fully developed turbulent channel flows with Bubble Bath rectangular riblet were performed to investigate the influence of particle adhesion on the drag reduction effect.We employed the one-way coupling method: the flow affects the particle, but the particle does not affect the flow.We obtained particle a
Introducing a new breed of wine yeast: interspecific hybridisation between a commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeast and Saccharomyces mikatae.
Interspecific hybrids are commonplace in agriculture and horticulture; bread wheat and grapefruit are but two examples.The benefits derived from interspecific hybridisation include the potential of generating advantageous transgressive phenotypes.This paper describes the generation of a new breed of wine yeast by interspecific hybridisation between
Kounis syndrome following moxifloxacin and deflazacort administration
Kounis syndrome (KS), characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and allergic reactions, can be triggered by a range of factors and drugs.We report on the case of a patient Tyrosine who arrived at our emergency department (ED) with symptoms of an allergic reaction after taking moxifloxacin and deflazacort orally.I
