In agriculture, new and sustainable strategies are increasingly demanded to integrate the traditional management of viral diseases based on the use of virus-free propagation materials and resistant or tolerant cultivars and on the control of insect vectors.Among the possible Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches, organic biostimulants have sh
Phosphoinositides are members of a family of minor phospholipids that make up about 1% of all lipids in most cell types.Despite their low abundance they have been found to be essential regulators of neuronal activities such as action potential firing, release and re-uptake of neurotransmitters, and interaction of cytoskeletal proteins with the plas
Leprosy disease remains an important public health issue as it is still endemic in several countries.Mycobacterium leprae, the causative agent of leprosy, presents tropism for cells of Fetish the reticuloendothelial and peripheral nervous system.Current multidrug therapy consists of clofazimine, dapsone and rifampicin.Despite significant improvemen
Abstract Hybridization has been recognized to play important roles in evolution, however studies of the genetic consequence are still lagging behind in vertebrates due to the lack of appropriate experimental systems.Fish of the genus Xiphophorus are proposed to have evolved with multiple ancient and ongoing hybridization events.They have served as
The effects of an initially overlying layer of solar-absorbing aerosol on the transition of stratocumulus to trade cumulus clouds are examined using large-eddy simulations.For lightly drizzling cloud the transition is generally hastened, resulting mainly from increased cloud droplet number concentration (Nc) induced by entrained aerosol.The increas
