Abstract During coffee harvest, picked berries fall to the ground where they serve as a reservoir for berry borer (CBB) which then infest on trees. This study tested effect of fallen CBB-infested infestation trees ( Coffea arabica ). Three-year-old were treated with either 0, 1, 5, 10, 15, or 20 placed root vicinity. The CBB was sampled every 30 days during 6 months four productive cycles. expe...

Crop pest outbreaks are expected to become more frequent and unpredictable due climate change, posing risks ecosystem health farmers’ livelihoods. At the same time, there is growing evidence that chemical pesticides can persist in landscape contribute land degradation. The use of natural place hoped manage while also restoring pollinator populations improving quality arable land. During 1970s, ...

Urine SpecImens Diluted to Achieve Bluret-Predicted ProteIn Concentrations of 4 to 0.2 gIL The Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) dye-binding method for determining total protein in urine is widely used in clinical laboratories because it is sensitive, easily automated, and free from interference by many clinically relevant substances (1-6). However, it yields different results for the same concent...

The last decade has seen significant advances in our understanding of the physiology, ecology, and molecular biology of chemoautotrophic bacteria. Many ecosystems are dependent on CO2 fixation by either free-living or symbiotic chemoautotrophs. CO2 fixation in the chemoautotroph occurs via the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle. The cycle is characterized by three unique enzymatic activities: ribulose...

An attempt to identify inorganic solids, such as metal oxides, using ERDT (energy-resolved distribution of electron traps)/CBB (conduction-band bottom) patterns, measured by reversed double-beam spectroscopy, a “fingerprint” is introduced.

A method to estimate C66, which is a shear modulus of a transversely isotropic formation (with its symmetry axis parallel to the borehole), is developed and tested. The inversion for C66 is based upon a cost function which has three terms: a measure of the misfit between the observed and predicted wavenumbers, a measure of the misfit between the current estimate for CBB and the initial guess of...

Cassava bacterial blight (CBB) is caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis (Xam). Resistance is found in Manihot esculenta and, in addition, has been introgressed from a wild relative, M. glaziovii. The resistance is thought to be polygenic and additively inherited. Ninety-three varieties of M. esculenta (Crantz) were assessed by AFLPs for genetic diversity and for resistance to CBB. AFLP...

The two highly homologous cbb operons of the facultative chemoautotroph Ralstonia eutropha H16 encode most enzymes of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham carbon reduction cycle. Their transcriptional regulation was investigated both in vitro and in vivo to identify a metabolic signal involved in this process. For this purpose an in vitro transcription system employing the DNA-dependent RNA polymerase pur...

A phylogenetic epidemiological study of Beauveria bassiana s.l. was conducted for African and Neotropical pathogens of the coffee berry borer (CBB), Hypothenemus hampei, based on inferences from two nuclear intergenic regions, EFutr and Bloc. CBB pathogens were distributed among four terminal clades, however, the majority of African and Neotropical isolates cluster in a well-supported monophyle...
