Drought and salinity stress highly affect the plant growth and production around the world. Secondary metabolites play a main role in adaptation to the environment and in overcoming stress conditions. In order to investigate the effect of drought and salinity, alone or in combination, on secondary metabolism-related enzyme activities, plant hormones and yield parameters, a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted using two cotton genotypes Zhongmian 23 (salt tolerant) and Zhongmian 41 (salt sensitive).

Calcitonin gene related protein (CGRP) is increased in both lesional and non-lesional psoriasis. The role of CGRP in the pathogenesis of psoriasis vulgaris is still not clear. We designed to determine the CGRP-I (or CALCA), II (or CALCB) gene expression and morbidity and CALCA T-692C single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP).
