atopic eczema (ae) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that affects children and adults, and alters quality of life with a high morbidity rate and severe economic burden. the objective of the present work was to analyse specific atmospheric pollutants (o3, no, pm10 and so2) affecting the prevalence of diagnosed ae and its symptoms among 6-7-year-old schoolchildren. the participants included ...

Polyploidy, the duplication of a single genome (autopolyploid) or the combination of two or more divergent genomes (allopolyploid), has occurred frequently during the evolutionary history of flowering plants . It is known that the polyploid genome displays dynamic changes in DNA sequences and gene expression patterns, which are caused by “genomic shock” . Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a he...

Mermithid parasites (Nematoda: Mermithidae) were observed in 11 mosquito species in 22 counties of Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. Natural hosts included adult Aedes vexans, Ae. canadensis, Ae. cinereus, Ae. diantaeus, Ae. punctor, Anopheles punctipennis and Coquillettidia perturbans and larvae of Ae. abserratus, Ae. canadensis, Ae. cinereus, Ae. communis, Ae. diantaeus, Ae. p...

BACKGROUND Synthetic hexaploid wheats are artificially reconstituted hexaploid wheats that possess high genetic variation which could be utilized for the development of new improved wheat varieties. One such group of synthetic wheats is called the Elite-II set of synthetic wheats that are derived from crossing durum wheat with different Aegilops tauschii wheats. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the c...
