Endophytic fungi have been demonstrated to produce bioactive secondary metabolites, some of which promote plant growth. Three endophytic fungi isolated from healthy plants living in dehesas of Extremadura (Spain) were identified and evaluated for their a
Despite a lack of consensus on the most effective methods for measuring corruption, a variety of initiatives have been launched over the past decade. This
five worlds of social reproduction are distinguished: the late blooming, the liberal, the catch-up/transitional, the conservative, and the social democratic. China’s production regime converges with that of continental Europe and Post-Socialist societies based on institutional arrangements of nonmarket ...
The abundant variety of yeasts and their diverse applications have essential roles in traditional Mexican alcoholic beverage fermentation processes. During our investigation of yeast diversity associated with Pulque, 41 yeast strains were characterized. Among them, 31 strains were eight known species belongi...
Dehydrins (DHNs) are a family of plant proteins that play important roles on abiotic stress tolerance and seed development. They are classified into five structural subgroups: K-, SK-, YK-, YSK-, and KS-DHNs, according to the presence of conserved motifs named K-, Y- and S- segments...
During their evolution, both reassortment and recombination played roles. These results suggest that recombination could be an important mechanism in the evolution of multipartite RNA viruses, even negative-sense RNA viruses. Keywords: Tomato spotted wilt virus, Phylogenetic analysis, Reassortment, ...
For millions of years, plants evolve plenty of structurally diverse secondary metabolites (SM) to support their sessile lifestyles through continuous biochemical pathway innovation. While new genes commonly drive the evolution of plant SM pathway, how a
(TT3, red arrows). The 2ndtransverse tract (TT2, yellow arrows) passes the CB anteriorly, sending fine processes into the neuropil (arrowheads inD). The 1sttransverse tract (TT1) lies dorsal to the CB.E,F: The paired branches of the OGT form a characteristic chiasm (X in E) in the...
Recent studies have increasingly revealed the connection between metabolic reprogramming and tumor progression. However, the specific impact of metabolic reprogramming on inter-patient heterogeneity and prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) still requi
Pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) are essential for the filtering, binding and transporting of sex pheromones across sensillum lymph to membrane-associated pheromone receptors of moths. In this study, three novel PBP genes were expressed in Escherichia coli to examine their involvement in the sex phe...
