, 2007 , Article)
Background. Fibulin-4 is an extracellular matrix protein expressed by vascular smooth muscle cells that is essential for maintaining arterial integrity. Fibulin-4-/- mice die just before birth due to arterial hemorrhage, ...
Water stress and gibberellic acid effects on growth of fenugreek plants
(
Springer Berlin / Heidelberg
, 1998 , Article)
Fenugreek plant is susceptible to water stress during the vegetative growth stages, since a soil matric potential lower than -0.3 MPa causes substantial reduction in growth parameters such as height, weight and total leaf ...
