insecticidal properties. For example, essential oils containing terpenes derived of Cassumunar ginger (AKA – Plai) (Zingiber cassumunar) displayed insect repellent and larvicidal properties against Asiatic tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) [46]. In rice, 25 Terpene synthase (TPS) genes, which are c...
Maroon rice names are truly unique as they reflect the varieties that were available, the history of plantations and marronnage, climate aspects that influenced the selection of farmers, the many separate groups of runaways joining the Maroons, the adaptation to the Amazonian ecosystem, and their ...
Joseph Dalton Hooker, when the director of Kew Gardens, UK (1865–1885) is reported to have said ofWelwitschiathat “it is out of the question the most wonderful plant ever brought to this country and one of the ugliest”. The species shows remarkable tenacity in surviving in the Kaokoveld...
Even though both species can reach high local abundances, only few studies reported aspects of their ecology, including trophic ecology51–53 and microhabitat preferences53, as well as morphological characteristics within and among species45,54,55. Previous reports on Mexican and Belizean ichthyofauna...
Fusarium oxysporum is a cross-kingdom fungal pathogen that infects plants and humans. Horizontally transferred lineage-specific (LS) chromosomes were reported to determine host-specific pathogenicity among phytopathogenic F. oxysporum. However, the exist
murdochii is probably related to the presence of larger pan-genomes due to higher diversity within these species. A majority of the unique genes, in all species, were annotated as coding for hypothetical proteins. This shows that, in general, the specific traits and aspects of virulence ...
does not affect filamentous growth6. In the human fungal pathogenCandida albicans, hyphal development is decreased in ahac1∆ mutant during serum stimulation. However, the function of Ire1 in hyphal development has not been characterised7. In the rice blast fungusMagnaporthe oryzae, Hac1 is essen...
Small RNAs play important roles in many aspects of pre- and post-transcriptional gene regulation, epigenetic modifications, chromosome segregation and genome structure. Small RNAs in mammalian cells have been categorized into different classes based on their size and biogenesis: 22 nucleotide (nt) micro...
Identification of Differentially Expressed Proteins and Phosphorylated Proteins in Rice Seedlings in Response to Strigolactone Treatment Strigolactones (SLs) are recently identified plant hormones that inhibit shoot branching and control various aspects of plant growth, development and inter...

While the lives and cultures of the hill tribes and the opium production and trade of The Golden Triangle are inter-related, the approach adopted for the exhibition has been to present these inter-related aspects of the opium story as two distinct and separate elements. This important distinction...
