Cadmium (Cd) stress in crops has been serious concern while little is known about the copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) effects on Cd accumulation by crops. This study investigated the effectiveness of CuO NPs in mitigating Cd contamination in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivation through a pot experiment, presenting an eco-friendly solution to a critical agricultural concern.

Evaluation of the Relationship Between Diabetic Retinopathy and the Development of Left Atrial Stiffness in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus.

Objective: Based on several studies, atrial remodeling results in an increase in left atrial (LA) stiffness, which is indicative of a worsened reservoir function. A typical microvascular consequence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the factors that might be related to LA stiffness in DM patients.

Morphoanatomical and Physiological Adaptations of L. against Allelopathic Extract of L. (Horse purslane).

Weed infestation can be harmful to crop growth and cause severe losses in yield by absorbing nutrients and releasing inhibitory secondary metabolites and thus needs to be controlled for food security. The use of synthetic herbicides is one of the most widely applied methods, but its frequent usage is a serious threat to health and the environment and develops resistance in weeds. Allelopathy is an eco-friendly bio-control method, and extracts are known to be effective against various weeds in the crop of (wheat), but their effect on the main crop (wheat) is still unknown.

Physiological and Germination Responses of Muskmelon ( L.) Seeds to Varying Osmotic Potentials and Cardinal Temperatures via a Hydrothermal Time Model.

Climatic changes have a direct negative impact on the growth, development, and productivity of crops. The water potential (ψ) and temperature () are important limiting factors that influence the rate of seed germination and growth indices. To examine how the germination of seed responds to changes in water potential and temperature, the hydrotime model and hydrothermal model (HTT) have been employed.

Effects of Poultry Manure on the Growth, Physiology, Yield, and Yield-Related Traits of Maize Varieties.

Industries play a significant role in the improvement of lifestyle and in the development of a country. However, the byproducts from these industries are a source of environmental pollution. The proper use of the byproducts of these industries can help to cope with environmental pollution.

Seed Priming Modulates Physiological and Agronomic Attributes of Maize ( L.) under Induced Polyethylene Glycol Osmotic Stress.

Drought and osmotic stresses are major threats to agricultural crops as they affect plants during their life cycle. The seeds are more susceptible to these stresses during germination and establishment of seedlings. To cope with these abiotic stresses, various seed priming techniques have broadly been used.

Bacterial-Mediated Salinity Stress Tolerance in Maize ( L.): A Fortunate Way toward Sustainable Agriculture.

Sustainable agriculture is threatened by salinity stress because of the low yield quality and low crop production. Rhizobacteria that promote plant growth modify physiological and molecular pathways to support plant development and reduce abiotic stresses. The recent study aimed to assess the tolerance capacity and impacts of sp.

Efficacy of Naphthyl Acetic Acid Foliar Spray in Moderating Drought Effects on the Morphological and Physiological Traits of Maize Plants ( L.).

Native T1 mapping of the breast in MRI to differentiate fibroadenomas from benign phyllodes tumors: a preliminary study.

Objective: Both fibroadenomas (FAs) and phyllodes tumors (PTs) are classified as fibroepithelial lesions. PTs are rare fibroepithelial neoplasms that have a morphologic spectrum ranging from benign to malignant. The differentiation of these entities is important as PTs are to be enucleated surgically.

Youths' perception and knowledge towards environmental problems in a developing country: in the case of Atatürk University, Turkey.

This study explores the perception and knowledge of environmental problems among students of Atatürk University, Turkey, as a developing country, by comparing their perceptions with known facts about environmental problems at local, national, and global levels. In addition, the correlation between the student groups and their knowledge levels and the differences between the student groups according to their knowledge levels when taking age and gender into account are explored. To this end, the research designed as a case study and pursued an exploratory approach revealed that major perceived environmental problems show differences at local, national, and global levels; that consensus on both major perceived problems and knowledge decreases from a local to global level; that a weak correlation exists between the age (r (205) = -.
