Fish skin is essential for survival, maintenance of body shape, and protection against the shock and infection. During week 1 of sturgeon larval development, the epidermis is thin and not differentiated in various layers yet, but by week 4-6 the thickness increases and various layers appear, depending upon the region of the body. Mucous cells differentiate early in development on the surface of...

Background: Argas persicus has a great importance for health and veterinary, it can transmit many infectious agents such as Borrelia anserina (avian spirochetosis) and Aegyptianella pullorum. Distinguishing Argasidae due to close morphological relationship is difficult. OBJECTIVES: In the present study, we performed molecular analyses based on PCR and sequencing of Amplicon derived from 16S rRN...

Three species of Eremurus M. Bieb. grown at UASVM Iasi, Romania, were studied: E. himalaicus Baker, robustus Regel and stenophyllus (BOISS. & BUHSE) Bak. Some ornamental (morphologic phenologic) features analyzed also the anatomic structure leaf, content photosynthetic pigments enzymatic activity leaves. The biometrical phenological determinations indicate a good ecological adaptability pla...

Late Triassic plant macro-remains are extremely rare in an equatorial belt stretching across the North of Gondwana from northern South America to Arabia. Located between Laurussian floral province and South, this large area, is almost entirely lacking palaeobotanical data. Thus, region special interest our knowledge provincialism distribution. Based on impressions ferruginous crusts, first reco...
