Abstract: Armored scale insects (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), are phytophagous species that occur in major biogeographic regions of the world. Because importance diaspidids as pests, there is widespread interest countries export and import unprocessed agricultural products increased knowledge this group which includes invasive quarantine pests great economic concern. The diversity, geographic distr...

Cayetana de la Cerda y Vera (1755-1798), condesa Lalaing, recibe el 17 marzo 1791 respuesta desfavorable que censura publicación su traducción titulada Las Americanas, o Prueba Religion Christina por las luces naturales, cuya autoría original pertenece a escritora francesa Jeanne-Marie Leprince Beaumont (1711-1776). Los censores alegan, como principal motivo, incitación “a duda metódica verdad ...

Cupuassu (Theobroma grandiflorum [Willd. ex Sprengel] Schumann) seeds constitute the raw material for oil extraction and fabrication of cupulate (product similar to chocolate). However, fungal diseases such as witches’ broom caused by Moniliophthora perniciosa have interfered with large-scale development cupuassu plantations. genetic breeding programmes focus on a variety biotechnological tools...

Since 5, 6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl cobamide coenzyme (coenzyme B12) as one of the coenzyme forms of vitamin B12 was reported by Barker et al. (1) for the first time in 1960, a good deal of works have been carried out on its biochemical and physiological roles (2-8). The recent knowledge concerning the coenzyme has revealed that it is an active form of vitamin B12 (5, 6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl cob...

Endophytes are being considered for use in biological control, and the enzymes they secrete might facilitate their initial colonization of internal plant tissues and direct interactions with microbial pathogens. Microbial proteases are also biotechnologically important products employed in bioremediation processes, cosmetics, and the pharmaceutical, photographic and food industries. In the pres...

High pressure (HP) or urea is commonly used to disturb folding species. Pressure favors the reversible unfolding of proteins by causing changes in the volumetric properties of the protein-solvent system. However, no mechanistic model has fully elucidated the effects of urea on structure unfolding, even though protein-urea interactions are considered to be crucial. Here, we provide NMR spectrosc...
