The Basal Body (BB) acts as the template for the axoneme, the microtubule-based structure of cilia and flagella. Although several proteins were recently implicated in both centriole and BB assembly and function, their molecular mechanisms are still poorly characterized. In this issue of The EMBO journal, Li and coworkers describe for the first time the near-native structure of the BB at 33 Å re...

This paper investigates the mediating role of environmental knowledge and its effect on green pricing, promotion, consumer buying behaviour in hypermarkets Ajman, UAE. Two hundred twenty questionnaires were distributed to hypermarket customers, with a return rate 76.8%. The study utilized SPSS version 28 conduct exploratory factor analysis 21 items, focusing item loading, convergent validity, i...

The coffee berry borer (CBB, Hypothenemus hampei) is the most serious insect pest of worldwide; understanding dynamics its reproduction essential for management. female CBB penetrates berry, eats seed, and reproduces inside it. A mathematical model infestation progress by during several seasons formulated. represents interaction among five populations: uninfested, slightly infested, severely in...

In recent years, bean common bacterial blight (CBB) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. phaseoli (Xap) has caused serious yield losses in several countries. CBB is considered mainly a foliar disease in which symptoms initially appear as small water-soaked spots that then enlarge and become necrotic and usually bordered by a chlorotic zone. Xap epiphytic population community has a critical role...

In simultaneous assays of urinary proteins by the Coomassie Brilliant Blue G-250 (CBB) and the sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) methods, we noticed that about 18% of samples showed about twice higher protein values by the former method than by the latter. Some urinary proteins are soluble in SSA and react with CBB. Examinations with sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that...

In recent papers Caldwell, Bibby and Brown (2002, 2003) (hereafter referred to as CBB) have introduced a new and elegant method for analysing magnetotelluric (MT) data which can be applied directly to galvanically distorted data in a regional conductivity structure of any dimension. It is therefore more general and direct than previous methods (e.g. Bahr, 1988; Groom and Bailey, 1989; Smith, 19...

Although the coffee berry borer (CBB) is most important pest worldwide, controversies remain regarding basic aspects of its behavior, such as how this influenced by abiotic factors agroecosystem. In study, we compared level infestation and total population per fruit under three different levels shade (full sun, up to 40%, >40%), for two varieties (Caturra Catimor) at altitudes (1200 1700 m a...

Autotrophic growth of Xanthobacter flavus is dependent on the fixation of carbon dioxide via the Calvin cycle and on the oxidation of simple organic and inorganic compounds to provide the cell with energy. Maximal induction of the cbb and gap-pgk operons encoding enzymes of the Calvin cycle occurs in the absence of multicarbon substrates and the presence of methanol, formate, hydrogen, or thios...
