Fusarium head blight Throw Blanket (FHB), caused by the fungus Fusarium graminearum, represents one of the major wheat diseases worldwide, determining severe yield losses and reduction of grain quality due to the accumulation of mycotoxins.The molecular response associated with the wheat 2DL FHB resistance QTL was mined through a comprehensive tran
Predation life history responses to increased temperature variability.
The evolution of life history traits is regulated by energy expenditure, which is, in turn, governed by temperature.The Figurines forecasted increase in temperature variability is expected to impose greater stress to organisms, in turn influencing the balance of energy expenditure and consequently life history responses.Here we examine how increase
Plasma levels of adhesion molecules are elevated in dermatomyositis-interstitial lung disease and associated with low paraoxonase-1 activity
Abstract Objective To evaluate circulating levels of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) and DM associated interstitial lung disease (DM-ILD).Methods We performed a cross-sectional study in plasma samples from DM patients and matched healthy controls.Plasm
Application of improved ant colony optimization in mobile robot trajectory planning
Under the condition of known static environment and dynamic environment, an improved ant colony optimization is proposed to Smoothers solve the problem of slow convergence, easily falling into local optimal solution, deadlock phenomenon and other issues when the ant colony optimization is constructed.Based on the traditional ant colony optimization
Nodule inception directly targets NF-Y subunit genes to regulate essential processes of root nodule development in Lotus japonicus.
The interactions of legumes with symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria cause the formation of specialized lateral root organs called root nodules.It has been postulated that this root nodule Medical Treatments symbiosis system has recruited factors that act in early signaling pathways (common SYM genes) partly from the ancestral mycorrhizal symbiosis.
