METHODS: six NaCl salt concentrations were studied (low concentrations: 25 mM and 50 mM NaCl solutions, medium concentrations: 75 mM and 100 mM NaCl solutions and high concentrations: 125 mM and 150 mM NaCl solutions). Germination data and seedling parameters were recorded. RESULTS: The application of salt concentrations between 25 and 150 had no significant effect on seed germination, while suppressive effect on seedling characteristics. At 150 mM NaCl mean germination time ranged from 2.10 days (for Osmanchik 97) to 3.15 days (for Kameo), mean ShL ranged from 3.65 cm for Kameo to 5.33 cm for Osmanchik 97. With increasing concentrations of NaCl vigor index decreased from 2043 for Osmanchik 97 (control) to 1050.24 for the variety Kameo. CONCLUSION: At 150 mM NaCl concentrations, the studied varieties showed very high salt tolerance to seed germination, high salt tolerance to root growth and medium salt tolerance to shoot growth. Тhe study confirmed that rice cultivars at the stage of seed germination are more tolerant to salinity than at the early seedling stage.","PeriodicalId":30048,"journal":{"name":"Trakia Journal of Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67464212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Material and Methods: Scientific publications available online. The methodology is: heuristic formation of the goal, systematic thinking, holistic approach, and comparison between the up-to-date embryology facts with the modern theories in physics and the traditional holistic philosophies of China. Aim: The purpose of this report is to validate STHB from an embryological point of view. Results: The embryonic period provides clear evidence for the spiral theory of the human body, demonstrating the center, its boundary, the equal importance of negative and positive structures, the primordial scale and the transition to different sub-scales, its short duration, and the clear transition to the next period of life. Conclusion: Most axioms of the STHB could be validated by human embryo development. As a disadvantage, one can consider the weak anthropological demonstration of the typical human characteristics that distinguish him from the animal world.","PeriodicalId":30048,"journal":{"name":"Trakia Journal of Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67464546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, it is essential to guarantee a genetic resource prepared for the different challenges of our times. This study includes information about beef cattle breeding in Bulgaria, and describes the characteristics of the Galloway breed. The numerical data presented in the study are based on the available information included in various references in the Agrostatistics database of the Ministry of Agriculture and Foods, agrarian reports of the same ministry and the Executive Agency for Selection and Reproduction in Animal Breeding (EASRAB). The Galloway breed is one of the oldest and purest of local cattle breeds. They are known for their resilience and can subsist on the scarcest of lands, which is important under the conditions of current climatic and other challenges. Regarding the Genetic Reserve and the Gen Bank, registered by the EASRAB, the available information shows that there is no registered reserve and genetic bank for the Galloway breed in Bulgaria. This requires further studies and proposals for the inclusion of the Galloway breed in the selection and reproduction aimed at the development of sustainable beef cattle farming.","PeriodicalId":30048,"journal":{"name":"Trakia Journal of Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67462761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty clinically healthy Bronze turkeys (15 females and 15 males) were used for the study. Twelve tissue samples (six from the proventriculus and six from gizzard) from the corresponding age group were used to prepare histological slides. The preparations were stained with hematoxylin (Erlich) - eosin and Masson’s trichrome. The wall of the proventriculus was composed of four layers. They were tunica mucosa, tunica submucosa, tunica muscularis and tunica serosa. Mucosa had many grooves and plicae with simple columnar epithelium. The proventricular submucosa had compound tubuloalveolar glands which took the greatest part of the wall. The gizzard had tunica mucosa, tunica muscularis and tunica serosa. Compound tubular glands were found in the mucosa. On the mucosal surface was observed a thick keratinized layer, which was produced by the glands. In lamina propria mucosae were found compound tubular glands which opened on the mucosal surface by a short neck. The glands in the grooves were more branched, compared to those localized in the folds. Lamina muscularis mucosae was not found.","PeriodicalId":30048,"journal":{"name":"Trakia Journal of Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67462932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
