There has been a recent burst of studies of the function of genitalia, many of which share several important shortcomings. Given that further studies on this topic are likely (there are probably millions of species showing rapid genital divergence), I discuss the studies critically to promote clear formulation of hypotheses and interpretation of results in the future. I also emphasize some poss...

Several signaling pathways work together, via a protein called Amotl2a, to establish the size and shape of a zebrafish sense organ primordium.

We have isolated a Drosophila mutant where the lateral parts of the notum are completely naked, leaving unaffected a median stripe of hairs. This mutation, iroquois (iro), defines a new gene which maps at 69D. We show that, in the presumptive lateral notum of mutant discs, sense organ precursor cells fail to form and the proneural gene scute is not expressed. The expression of a reporter gene i...

Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential solute translocation among stems wheat (Triticum aestivum), by application systemic herbicides clethodim and glyphosate. experiments were carried out in greenhouse conditions, using cultivars with contrasting for tillering, during winter 2017 2018 Southern Brazil. Clethodim applied on isolated stems, solutes from first three til...

BACKGROUND IgE-mediated wheat allergy affects around 0.5% of the population, and current management is based on avoidance. We propose an active intervention to promote tolerance in wheat-allergic children. OBJECTIVES To investigate the efficacy and safety of an oral immunotherapy (OIT) protocol with wheat to treat IgE-mediated wheat-allergic children. METHODS Six wheat allergic patients ass...

Winter wheat seedtime is important for wheat growth. It affects the wheat yield and quality. The objective of this study is monitoring the winter wheat seedtime through remote sensing imagery. Two HJ-1B images and one Landsat5 TM image were used in this study. Three Vegetation Indices, DVI, SAVI and RDVI were calculated. The correlation about the wheat seedtime and VIs were analyzed. The result...
