Developing new ornamental cultivars with improved floral attributes is a major goal in floriculture. Biotechnological approach together with classical breeding methods has been used to modify floral color, appearance as well as for increasing disease resistance. Transgenic strategies possess immense potential to produce novel flower phenotypes that are not found in nature. Adoption of Genetic e...

BACKGROUND Fishery management has historically been an inexact and reactionary discipline, often taking action only after a critical stock suffers overfishing or collapse. The invertebrate ornamental fishery in the State of Florida, with increasing catches over a more diverse array of species, is poised for collapse. Current management is static and the lack of an adaptive strategy will not all...

Stereograms mark a threshold in understanding visual perception. Modern study of stereopsis began with Wheatstone's invention of the stereogram and stereoscope (~1832) 1 , important tools in vision research and technical imagery ever since 2,3. Stereoscopic images formed with frieze and wallpaper patterns in illuminated Insular manuscripts 4 such as the Book of Durrow (~680 CE) 5 , Lindisfarne ...

Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni is the causal agent of the bacterial spot disease of stone fruits, almond and some ornamental Prunus species. In Spain it was first detected in 2002 and since then, several outbreaks have occurred in different regions affecting mainly Japanese plum, peach and almond, both in commercial orchards and nurseries. As the origin of the introduction(s) was unknown, we ...

Myxococcus xanthus is a Gram negative, non-pathogenic, common soil bacterium that belongs to the δsubdivision of the Proteobacteria. According to the data, it is demonstrated that, depending on the chemistry of the culture media, M. xanthus is able to induce the formation of phosphates (struvite, schertelite, newberyite), carbonates (calcite, Mg-calcite, vaterite) and sulfates (barite, taylorit...

Firebush is used in herbal medicine to treat athlete’s foot, skin lesions and insect bites, nervous shock, inflammation, rheumatism, headache, asthma, and dysentery. Also, the plants are used in folk medicine against a range of ailments. Present study deals with to establish pharmacognostic, phy...

Abstract Mosaic glass tesserae were imported to Dutch sites during the Early Medieval period, probably address demand for coloured needed in ornamental bead manufacture. Although challenging, because of uncertainty material’s context, Wierum collection represents an extraordinary opportunity, being most significant find Netherlands date. The combined use electron microprobe analysis (EMPA) and ...

Serpentinite is a low-grade metamorphic rock derived from the transformation of ultramafic rocks. Mainly because its aesthetic characteristics it has been widely used as building and ornamental stone. “Verde di Prato” most common local name in Tuscany to refer this type rock, historically quarried area for many centuries large number monuments region. In paper, we report results study carried o...

Botrytis cinerea is a major plant pathogen, causing gray mold rot in a variety of cultures. Repeated fungicide applications are common but have resulted in the development of fungal populations with resistance to one or more fungicides. In this study, we have monitored fungicide resistance frequencies and the occurrence of multiple resistance in Botrytis isolates from raspberries, strawberries,...
