Abstract. Forest steppes are dynamic ecosystems, highly susceptible to changes in climate, disturbances and land use. Here we examine the Holocene history of European forest steppe ecotone lower Danube Plain better understand its sensitivity climate fluctuations, fire human impact, timing transition into a cultural steppe. We used multi-proxy analyses (pollen, n-alkanes, coprophilous fungi, cha...

In this research, the economic and ecological use value of Alkanna orientalis was determined. The biodiversity functions services species were analysed economically by classifying data obtained from literature analysis. regulation functions, which is one these pollination seed dispersal, in traditional medicine within production pharmacological researches as raw materials have been revealed imp...

In this study, the main features of trichomes, nutlet, and pollen A. orientalis, which growing in four different provinces Turkey, were examined as detail results illustrated. orientalis carries both peltate capitate well non-glandular ones. However, subtypes glandular trichomes recognized. The shape nutlets is obovate, oblong-obovate nutlet surface sculpturing alveolate. grains euprolate (P/E ...

BACKGROUND Recent advances in synthesizing valuable chemicals such as organic acids from low-cost renewable biomass through microbial fermentation have attracted great attention. However, the toxicity of organic acids presents a key challenge to the development of an economically viable fermentation process. Therefore, a platform organism that not only produces organic acids but also tolerates ...

Pristionchus pacificus has been developed as a nematode satellite organism in evolutionary developmental biology. Detailed studies of vulva development revealed multiple differences in genetic and molecular control in P. pacificus compared to the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans. To place evolutionary developmental biology in a comprehensive evolutionary context, such studies have to be co...

Little is known about the environmental conditions that allow Francisella noatunensis subsp. orientalis, a worldwide emergent bacterial fish pathogen, to colonize and infect wild and cultured fish. We evaluated the effect of temperature and salinity on the infectivity of F. noatunensis subsp. orientalis in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L). Immersion challenges of tilapia with F. noatunens...
