Drought stress memory in a germplasm of synthetic and common wheat: antioxidant system, physiological and morphological consequences.

Plants have evolved mechanisms of adaptation to fluctuations in their environmental conditions that have been given the term "stress memory". Synthetic wheat offers new hope for breeders to restore useful genes lost during the genetic bottleneck. We aimed to test whether drought priming and seed priming could improve drought tolerance in a diverse germplasm of synthetic and common wheat under field conditions.

Factors associated with surgical treatment in pediatric intussusception.

Background: The study aimed to identify factors related to the need for surgical treatment of intussusception in pediatric patients.

Methods: The medical charts of 106 patients diagnosed with intussusception and treated at the Imam Khomeini Medical Center in Ahvaz city between September 2019 and October 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were compared in terms of risk factor groups treated with surgery (12 pediatric patients) and nonsurgical methods (92 pediatric patients).
