Wound Repair Using PVA–CA Electrospun Dressings and Cold Plasma In Vivo

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
In vivo wound healing evaluation of different treatments in a murine excisional wound model. (a) Representative photographs of wound closure at 3, 7, and 14 days post‐treatment for the different groups: Control, PVA‐CA, PVA‐CA‐Ag, NTP, PVA‐CA‐NTP, and PVA‐CA‐Ag‐NTP. (b) Experimental design showing six treatment groups with n = 18 wounds per group.

Root Anatomical Traits and Their Possible Contribution to Drought Tolerance in Grain Legumes

Plant Production Science, 2013
Legumes are mostly grown rainfed and are exposed to various types of drought ranging from terminal drought to intermittent drought. The objective of this study was to compare the root anatomy of six major legume crops in relation to their drought ...

Gene expression and yeast two-hybrid studies of transcription factors mediating drought stress response in root tissues of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Drought stress has been one of the serious constraints affecting chickpea productivity to a great extent. Genomic assisted breeding in chickpea has been effective in providing a yield advantage of up to 24 %, thus having a potential to accelerate ...

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Tooth eruption status and bite force determine dental microwear texture gradients in albino rats (Rattus norvegicus forma domestica)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is widely applied for inferring diet in vertebrates. Besides diet and ingesta properties, factors like wear stage and bite force may affect microwear formation, potentially leading to tooth position‐specific microwear patterns.

Genome-wide association study and expression of candidate genes for Fe and Zn concentration in sorghum grains

Scientific Reports
Sorghum germplasm showed grain Fe and Zn genetic variability, but a few varieties were biofortified with these minerals. This work contributes to narrowing this gap.

From traditional to modern water management systems; reflection on the evolution of a ‘water ethic’ in semi-arid Morocco [PDF]

, 2011
The chapter focuses on water because of the crucial importance of that resource in a semiarid country and because the ways in which it has been managed throughout centuries illustrate the changes in socio-political structures in the society. The focus on

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...
