Article Synopsis
- Tribenuron-methyl (TBM) is a popular herbicide in Iran for managing broadleaf weeds in wheat due to its low toxicity, effectiveness, and lower cost, but farmers face issues with its performance and resistance.
- A study involving 240 weed populations from 153 wheat fields revealed that over half (51.7%) exhibited resistance to TBM, with specific species like Sinapis arvensis and Malva neglecta showing significant resistance rates.
- This research highlights the growing problem of herbicide resistance in Iranian wheat fields and emphasizes the need for future management strategies to prevent yield loss and environmental harm.
The decline in reproductive efficiency during post-peak period of production in poultry species holds significant economic implications. This study aimed to investigate the productive and reproductive performance of Japanese quails across distinct production stages and the association between these parameters and some genes expression and histometric alterations within the reproductive system. A total of 180 quails from a commercial flock were selected at varying egg production stages, including young, mature, and old, with 45 female and 15 male quails allocated to each group.

Specific histological parameters and nutrient absorption-related genes could be used to study intestinal functionality and efficiency.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the mRNA abundance of nutrient absorption-related genes and intestinal histology changes in laying Japanese quail during productive lifespan.
Near-field electrospinning (NFES) has recently gained considerable interest in fabricating tissue engineering scaffolds. This technique combines the advantages of both 3D printing and electrospinning. It allows for the production of fibers with smaller resolution and the ability to make regular structures with suitable pores.

Scientific reports have indicated that in many cases, the incidence of stroke in patients with COVID-19 leads to death.
Objectives: The obtained mathematical equation in this study can help physicians' decision-making about treatment and identification of influential clinical factors for early diagnosis.
