Background Zika virus (ZIKV) has been associated with a variety of neuropathologies, including microcephaly. We hypothesize that ZIKV genes activate host microRNAs (miRNAs) causing dysfunctional development of human fetal brains. Objectives/methods A bioinformatics search for miRNA genome-wide binding sites in the prototypic ZIKV (strain MR766) was undertaken to hunt for miRNAs with significant...

Synthesis of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the leaves of a drought- and heat-resistant (line ZPBL 1304), and a drought- and heat-sensitive (line ZPL 389) line of maize (Zea mays L.) was studied under two environmental stress treatments: (a) soil drying and high temperature and (b) high temperature. In the first treatment 13-day-old plants were exposed to 7-day soil drying followed by high tempe...
