Marketed plants are an important but a vulnerable group of plants whose investigations as well as conservation should be considered with priority. The chemistry, and in some cases biological activities of novel iso ̄avonoids, nor-lignans, anthracene and naphthalene derivatives and poly prenylated ̄avonoids isolated and characterized from Hagenia abyssinica, Salsola somalensis, Hypoxis spp., Tave...

Serratia marcescens is a frequent cause of health care-associated infections and has led to multiple outbreaks. Here, we report the draft genome of a multidrug-resistant S. marcescens strain 189 which was isolated in 2012 as a predominant clone in a neonatal hospital in Kemerovo.

Molecular information suggests that Russian thistle (Salsola tragus L.) in the US may consist of more than one genetic entity. This genetic variation needs to be taken into account when developing agents for biological control of this important weed. Preliminary evidence suggests that there are differences in susceptibility of Salsola sp. to infection by fungal pathogens. In the present study, ...

studying the ecology of halophyte plant species provides useful information for reclamation and managements of arid and semiarid rangelands. this research was implemented as a pot experiment in which seeds of three rangeland species (erotiaceratoides, agropyrndesertorum, and salsolaarbusculiformis) were sown in the soil taken from understory of salsola or from the open spaces. soil samples were...

In the early 1990s after the collapse of the USSR, the new Russian state faced strong nationalist claims for sovereignty and increased autonomy from the side of regional elites. These nationalist challenges at the sub-national level were seriously considered by many experts to be a potential cause for the further breakup of Russia into a number of new independent states. The nationalist movemen...
