The Loess Plateau is one of the most fragile ecosystems in world. In order to increase biodiversity area, develop sustainable agriculture and income local people, we simulated potential geographic distribution two economic forest trees (Malus pumila Mill Prunus armeniaca L.) present future under climate scenarios, using maximum entropy model. this study, importance contributions environmental v...

We have been interested in the structure of the X chromosome of the stock known as scute-8 apricot, found by SIDOROV (1931). This stock has been used extensively in our laboratory, and it early became a matter of importance to have exact information on the nature of this chromosome, It was of course known that it contained a long inversion, but its exact limits had not been fully worked out. Th...

Haemonchus contortus is a blood-sucking abomasal parasite of small ruminants that is responsible for major losses to producers worldwide. Resistance of this nematode to commercial anthelmintics has produced a demand for alternative control methods. Plants in the genus Artemisia have traditionally been used as anthelmintics and whole plants and plant extracts have demonstrated activity against g...

Similar to vascular plants, non-vascular plant mosses have different periods of seasonal growth. There has been little research on the spectral variations of moss soil crust (MSC) over different growth periods. Few studies have paid attention to the difference in spectral characteristics between wet MSC that is photosynthesizing and dry MSC in suspended metabolism. The dissimilarity of MSC spec...

The Chinese mugwort (Artemisia argyi Lév. et Vaniot) is an important traditional medicine plant that ubiquitously disturbed in Asia. However, the molecular mechanisms reflect natural evolution of Artemisia remain unclear. In this study, a high-quality draft assembly allotetraploid A. (ArteW1-Tongbai) was conducted utilizing PacBio long-read sequencing and Hi-C technologies. about 7.20 Gb with c...

The present study describes the reproductive ecology of the prostrate shrub Juniperus sabina and the dwarf shrub Artemisia santolinifolia in dry mountain steppes of southern Mongolia. Whereas stands of the juniper are located at the drought limit of the genus’ distributional range, the genus Artemisia is typical of central Asian drylands. Both species produce large numbers of reproductive organ...

Haemonchus contortus is the most detrimental gastrointestinal parasite in small ruminants worldwide. The problem is increasing due to the developing resistance of the parasite to commercially available anthelmintics. Medicinal plants with their biologically-active compounds may provide a viable alternative to synthetic anthelmintics, but sound scientific evaluation of such compounds is lacking....

OBJECTIVES weight loss as a consecution of losing appetite in post-operative patients and those suffering from HIV, cancer, cachexia and inflammatory diseases are the main inducements of morbidity and mortality. There is an increasing demand for more efficacious and endurable appetite stimulating treatment for patients with cachexia. Health economics is influenced by the malnutrition which was ...
