We describe the development and validation of a qPCR assay to detect Poecilia reticulata, highly invasive species freshwater fish Caribbean islands, through environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling. Originating from Trinidad, this is detrimental countless native tropical communities. A assay, consisting set primers fluorescent probe, amplifying 214 base pair target region mitochondrial Cytochrome B ge...

‘Aliza’ is a new pomelo × mandarin hybrid (Citrus maxima, cv. Red Chandler Citrus reticulata, Ora) developed by the Israeli citrus breeding program at Volcani Institute. Here, we aimed to characterize quality and flavor of fruit as compared other commercial fruit, specifically (C. maxima), grapefruit paradisi), orange sinensis) reticulata). fruits have similar size grapefruits, but thinner peel...

We have quantified the density of serotonin axonal varicosities, their synaptic incidence and their distribution among potential targets in the pars reticulata and pars compacta of the rat substantia nigra. Serotonin axonal varicosities, counted at the light microscopic level following in vitro [3H]serotonin uptake and autoradiography, amounted to 9 x 10(6)/mm3 in the pars reticulata and 6 x 10...

The substantia nigra pars reticulata belongs to the brain regions with the highest density of CB1 cannabinoid receptors. Since the level of CB1 receptor messenger RNA is very low in the pars reticulata, most of the receptors are probably localized on terminals of afferent axons. The hypothesis was tested that terminals of glutamatergic afferents of substantia nigra pars reticulata neurons posse...
