Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent and critical complication in the clinical setting. In rodents, AKI can be effectively prevented through caloric restriction (CR), which has also been shown to increase lifespan many species. Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), longevity studies revealed that marked CR-induced reduction of endocannabinoids may key mechanism. Thus, we hypothesized regulati...

Diets regulate animal development, reproduction, and lifespan. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. We previously showed that a chemically defined CeMM diet attenuates development promotes longevity of C. elegans, but whether it impacts other nematodes is unknown. Here, we studied effects on marine nematode Litoditis marina, which belongs to same family as elegans. furth...

Aims: The aim of this work was to investigate the effect humic acid, applied at different concentrations and time intervals, on vegetative flowering characters Zinnia elegans.
 Study Design: experiment designed as a complete randomized design with three replications total nine treatments.

The globally distributed Chaetoceros elegans belongs to the lorenzianus (C. lorenzianus) complex and is characterized by having tear-shaped setae poroids. Several strains of C. were established from Chinese coastal waters. vegetative cells resting spores observed using light electron microscopy. Phylogenetic analyses two nuclear ribosomal RNA genes (SSU D1–D3 region LSU) internal transcribed sp...

The rhinoceros borer Oryctes agamemnon Burmeister (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) is a date palm insect pest that causes damage to trunk and roots of palm trees in several countries, including Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Oman, and Saudi Arabia. The aim of this study was to monitor the seasonal and nocturnal activities of this beetle. Experiments were performed on a date palm of Rjim Maa...

C. elegans egg laying behavior and the associated cellular functions can be stimulated on-demand using electrical pulses in a microchannel.
