Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2022, 66, 202200234 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.202200234 Black raspberries (BRBs) play a role in colorectal cancer chemoprevention. The number of intestinal stem cells, the cells origin cancer, are reduced following BRB diet. This decreases chance mutation occurring within these and subsequently reduces risk developing cancer. is reported by Stephanie May, Lee Parry, co-workers arti...

purpose: to report the outcomes of conjunctival-limbal autograft (clau) in patients with unilateral total limbal stem cell deficiency (lscd) emphasizing surgical problems, complications, and their management. methods: in this prospective interventional case series, clau combined with amniotic membrane transplantation as a graft was performed on 26 patients with unilateral total lscd due to chem...

Morphological quality of black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) seedlings largely dictates their capacity to establish well in plantations and their performance potential for use as rootstocks in grafting. Larger seedlings and rootstocks, attained from propagation at relatively low nursery sowing densities, have comparatively more expansive root systems for exploitation of soil resources and greater n...

Multipotent neural stem cells have been isolated from the adult [Kirschenbaum B, Nedergaard M, Preuss A, Barami K, Fraser RA, Goldman SA. In vitro neuronal production and differentiation by precursor cells derived from the adult human forebrain. Cereb Cortex 1994;4(6):576-89; Laywell ED, Kukekov VG, Steindler DA. Multipotent neurospheres can be derived from forebrain subependymal zone and spina...

The Verticillium genus comprises economically important plant pathogens that collectively affect a broad range of annual and perennial crops. Verticillium longisporum mainly infects brassicaceous hosts, including oilseed rape. The most conspicuous symptom of V. longisporum infection on oilseed rape is black stem striping that appears towards the end of the cropping season. Thus far, the impact ...

Optical remote sensing imagery and orthophoto derived stem density were classified to map coniferous forest cover for a study area located in the Western Hunsrück, Germany. Our objectives were (i) to investigate if hyperspectral data contain more information relevant to classification of species and age classes than multispectral imagery and (ii) to test in what way classification results can b...

Abstract Racially minoritized groups are underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) degree programs careers, warranting the need to examine students' racialized experiences K‐12 settings that may influence their STEM persistence. In particular, current study explored adolescent perceptions of school racial climate (SRC) as a potential contributor pre‐college dispariti...

Higher ozone concentrations east of southern Lake Michigan compared to west of the lake were used to test hypotheses about injury and growth effects on two plant species. We measured approximately 1000 black cherry trees and over 3000 milkweed stems from 1999 to 2001 for this purpose. Black cherry branch elongation and milkweed growth and pod formation were significantly higher west of Lake Mic...

We measured stem respiration rates during and after the 1994 growing season of three common boreal tree species at sites near the northern and southern boundaries of the closed-canopy boreal forest in central Canada. The growth respiration coefficient (r(g); carbon efflux per micro mole of carbon incorporated in structural matter) varied between 0.25 and 0.76, and was greatest for black spruce ...

Multiple disease resistance is an aim of many plant breeding programs. Previously, novel somatic cell selection was used to generate potato variants of "Russet Burbank" with resistance to common scab caused by infection with an actinomycete pathogen. Coexpression of resistance to powdery scab caused by a protozoan pathogen was subsequently shown. This study sought to define whether this resista...
