Supplementary potassium nitrate improves salt tolerance in bell pepper plants
(2003)The effect of supplementary potassium nitrate (KNO) on growth and yield of bell pepper (Capsicum annum cv. 11B 14) plants grown in containers under high root-zone salinity was investigated. Treatments were (1) control, ... -
Responses of drip irrigated bell pepper to water stress and different nitrogen levels with or without mulch cover
(2003)Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv. 11b 14) was grown under field conditions. The aim was to investigate the effects of mulch on plant growth, water use efficiency (WUE), fruit yield and quality, leaf relative water content, ... -
Solid-phase synthesis of the cyclic peptide portion of chlorofusin, an inhibitor of p53-MDM2 interactions
(2003)The first solid-phase synthesis of the chlorofusin peptide is described. The synthesis involved side-chain immobilization of N(alpha)-Fmoc-Asp-ODmab. Synthesis of the linear peptide, initially incorporating racemic Ade8 ... -
The incidence and nature of drug-related admissions to hospital
(2003-04-26)Aim. To determine the nature and incidence of adult drug-related admissions. Subjects and Settings. Adult patients admitted via the medical admissions ward at Addenbrooke's NHS Trust. Outcome Measures. The incidence and ... -
Ameliorative effects of potassium phosphate on salt-stressed pepper and cucumber
(2003-01-01)Bell pepper (Capsicum annuum cv. Urfa Isoto) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus cv. Beith Alpha F1) were grown in pots containing field soil to investigate the effects of supplementary potassium phosphate applied to the root ... -
Relationship between water use and urea application in salt-stressed pepper plants
(2003)Pepper (Capsicum annum cv. 11B14) was grown in pots containing soil. The relationships between urea application and water use by salt-stressed pepper plants were investigated. Treatments were (1) control (C): soil only; ... -
Effects of preharvest drip-irrigation scheduling on strawberry yield, quality and growth
(2003)Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch) cultivars, Oso Grande and Camarosa were grown in the field from July 1999 to May 2000 in order to investigate the effectiveness of preharvest drip-irrigation management on fruit yield, ... -
Spatial aspects of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) epidemic development on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in the United Kingdom
(2003-06)In microplot experiments in 1998-99 and 1999-2000, the start of light leaf spot epidemics could be predicted from weather data, using empirical equations for Pyrenopeziza brassicae apothecial (ascospore) development. ... -
Mycorrhizal colonisation improves fruit yield and water use efficiency in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus Thunb.) grown under well-watered and water-stressed conditions
(2003-06-01)The effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) colonisation by Glomus clarum on fruit yield and water use efficiency (WUE) was evaluated in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) cv. Crimson Sweet F1 under field conditions. Treatments ... -
The disintegrin-like metalloproteinase ADAM 10 is involved in coinstitutive cleavage of CX3CL1 (fractalkine) and regulates CX3CL1-mediated cell-cell adhesion
(2003-08-15)The CX3C chemokine fractalkine (CX3CL1) exists as a membrane-expressed protein promoting cell-cell adhesion and as a soluble molecule inducing chemotaxis. Transmembrane CX3CL1 is converted into its soluble form by defined ... -
Dexamethasone decreases plasma levels of the prochiral fenbendazole and its chiral and achiral metabolites in sheep
(2003-07)1. The effect of co-administration of either short- or long-acting formulations of DXM on hepatic function and the plasma pharmacokinetic behaviour of prochiral fenbendazole (FBZ) and its metabolites was evaluated in sheep. ... -
Some observations on the pharmacological properties of ivermectin during treatment of a mite infestation in mice
(2003-07)Ivermectin has become one of the most widely used drugs for the treatment of parasitic infections in laboratory rodents. Despite its wide popularity, little has been published regarding its pharmacokinetic properties in ... -
Investigation of the physical properties of spray-dried stabilised lysozyme particles
(2003-09)The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the composition of formulations on the physical properties, including glass-transition temperatures (Tg) and aerodynamic-related characteristics, of spray-dried lysozyme ... -
Accelerated metabolite identification by "Extraction-NMR"
(2003-07-14)Examples of the use of extraction-NMR, an efficient and rapid method to obtain structural information on metabolites without prior separation, are described. Crude ethyl acetate extracts of in vitro microsomal incubations ... -
Nucleotide sequence and genome organization of Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus RNA1
(2003-10-01)The complete nucleotide sequence of Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV) RNA1, a member of the Crinivirus genus in the Closteroviridae, was determined. CYSDV RNA1 is 9126 nucleotides long and contains two ... -
A rapid method for sequencing the 5′- and 3′-termini of double-stranded RNA viral templates using RLM-RACE
(2003-09-01)A protocol is described that permits rapid, inexpensive and reliable synthesis and amplification of 5′- and 3′-terminal cDNAs using viral double-stranded (ds) RNA templates. The method of RNA ligase-mediated amplification ... -
CCR2: Characterization of the antagonist binding site from a combined receptor modeling/mutagenesis approach
