Gibberellin-like Substances from the Developing Banana Fruit.
The occurrence of 2 gibberellin-like substances was demonstrated in the developing banana fruit, Musa sapientum, Linn. Chemical and biological evidence led to the tentative identification of the 2 compounds as GA(7) and GA(x) (previously isolated from citrus fruits). Support for such identification was obtained from thin layer chromatography, gradient elution column chromatography, spectrofluor...
متن کاملFruit flies step out
A method that can analyse the movements of Drosophila as they walk is a valuable addition to the tools available to neurobiologists, and has already led to insights into the interplay of central networks and sensory feedback in this model organism.
متن کاملAutomated Surveillance of Fruit Flies
Insects of the Diptera order of the Tephritidae family cause costly, annual crop losses worldwide. Monitoring traps are important components of integrated pest management programs used against fruit flies. Here we report the modification of typical, low-cost plastic traps for fruit flies by adding the necessary optoelectronic sensors to monitor the entrance of the trap in order to detect, time-...
متن کاملFruit flies in biomedical research.
Many scientists complain that the current funding situation is dire. Indeed, there has been an overall decline in support in funding for research from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. Within the Drosophila field, some of us question how long this funding crunch will last as it demotivates principal investigators and perhaps more importantly affects the long...
متن کاملFruit flies and intellectual disability
Mental retardation—known more commonly nowadays as intellectual disability—is a severe neurological condition affecting up to 3% of the general population. As a result of the analysis of familial cases and recent advances in clinical genetic testing, great strides have been made in our understanding of the genetic etiologies of mental retardation. Nonetheless, no treatment is currently clinical...
