Front cover: Mitochondrial morphology in human fibroblasts (cover micrographs). The panel at top left is a wild-type cell. Mitochondria (red structures) are labeled with MitoTracker Red TM ; tubulin, labeled in green, helps indicate overall cell structure. The panel at top right, labeled in a similar manner, shows a fibroblast from a patient with a mitochondrial disease. Note the appearance of ...

plant biomass is an important factor for determining arid and semi-aridrangelands capacity. due to the lack of proper and annual sampling of rangelands, there areno suitable data to determine biomass, range condition and proper range managementoperations. plant biomass is one of the measurable attributes that can be assessed inrangeland studies. since the clip and weight method is destructive a...

Effects of winter cover crop management on nematode densities associated with a subsequent corn (Zea mays) crop were examined in five sites in north Florida. Two sites had received winter cover crops of lupine (Lupinus angustifolius), and one site each had rye (Secale cereale), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa), and crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum). In each site, five different management regime...

Invited for this month's cover picture is the BIOSCOPE group of Professors Carlos Lodeiro and José Luis Capelo at the REQUIMTE/UCIBIO-LAQv-FCT University NOVA of Lisbon (Portugal), and their collaborators. The cover picture is devoted to Translational Research, and shows the Portuguese Flag represented by the interaction between cells and Janus gold/silver nanoparticles functionalized with rhod...

ON THE COVER Calderon et al. show that the pancreas has the unique feature of having macrophages from different lineages in distinct anatomical sites. The cover image illustrates that pancreatic islet macrophages derive from defi nitive hematopoiesis (orange), whereas stromal macrophages are of mixed origin, deriving from both defi nitive (orange) and primitive (green) hematopoiesis. Artwork by...

‘Alpine systems are generally considered to be among the most vulnerable to future climate change’ (Hughes 2003), and changes in snow depth and cover in the Australian mountains would likely affect many animals. For instance, the Pygmy Possum depends on snow cover for stable, low temperatures during hibernation (Walter and Broome 1998). In years of shallow snow cover populations of Dusky Antech...

Late-Breaking Basic Science Abstracts: From the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2008, New Orleans, Louisiana, November 8–12, 2008 1493 Author Index 1502 On the cover: Image shows an epicardial explant from an embryonic day 12.5 PDGFR GFP mouse heart after 5 days in culture. Immunofluorescence for -catenin (red) demonstrates epicardial cell boundaries, and nuclear-localized green ...

Cover crops are often defined as crops grown for the protection and enrichment of the soil. They are sometimes referred to as green manures or living mulches because if the definition is expanded a bit they are crops grown to suppress weeds, build productive soils and help control pests and diseases. Cover crops can be soil builders, soil looseners, soil water conservers, erosion fighters, nutr...

Landscape groundcover plants are a diverse group of trailing or spreading species that naturally form continuous soil coverage.Ground cover plants that were used in this study consisted of vegetative propagules of: Vinca minor L. ٬Variegatum’, Vinca minor L. ٬Green’, Oxalis brasiliensis G. Lodd, Trifolium repens L., Phyla nodiflora L. and Frankenia thymifolia Desf. The aim of this study was to ...
