AIMS The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP), Diaphorina citri Kuwayama transmits the bacterium 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (Las), which causes citrus huanglongbing (HLB) disease. Although many studies have been conducted on the biology of ACP on different host plants, few have taken the plant, Las bacteria and the vector insect within one context to evaluate the effects of Las on the fitness of...

Androgen deficiency is important in the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation. Androgen regulates cardiac electrophysiology and calcium (Ca(2+)) homeostasis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether androgen receptor knockout (ARKO) can modulate atrial electrophysiology and arrhythmogenesis with modulation of Ca(2+) homeostasis proteins. We used conventional microelectrodes to study th...

For uniform oriented matroids M with n elements, there is in the realizable case a sharp lower bound Lr (n) for the number mut(M) of mutations ofM : Lr (n) = n ≤ mut(M), see Shannon [17]. Finding a sharp lower bound L(n) ≤ mut(M) in the non-realizable case is an open problem for rank d ≥ 4. Las Vergnas [9] conjectured that 1 ≤ L(n). We study in this article the rank 4 case.
