ABSTRACT Triploid watermelon is highly appreciated by the most demanding markets, and due to its small size, it ideal for consumption families. With growth in areas cultivated with seedless worldwide, there a demand development of tetraploid germplasm obtain triploid hybrids better agronomic performance. This study performed two tests induce polyploidy powdery mildew–resistant line developed Em...

PURPOSE To establish a murine model of corneal candidiasis that permits molecular evaluation of fungal adherence and invasion. METHODS Corneas of immunocompetent, methylprednisolone-treated, and cyclophosphamide-treated adult NIH Swiss and BALB/c mice were topically mock inoculated or inoculated with 10-fold increasing amounts between 100 and 100 million colony-forming units (CFU) of Candida ...

In human osteo-arthritis there is a loss of matrix ground substance in the fibrillated cartilage (Matthews, 1953; Collins and McElligott, 1960). Studies using radioactive sulphate have indicated that the loss of ground substance is accompanied by a reactive increase in the synthesis of sulphated matrix by all but the more superficial chondrocytes in fibrillated areas (Collins and McElligott, 19...

Live-virus vaccines for smallpox are effective but have risks that are no longer acceptable for routine use in populations at minimal risk of infection. We have developed a mucosal, killed-vaccinia virus (VV) vaccine based on antimicrobial nanoemulsion (NE) of soybean oil and detergent. Incubation of VV with 10% NE for at least 60 min causes the complete disruption and inactivation of VV. Simpl...

This research presents, for the first time, a study of seed germination two varieties, ‘Anacyclus pyrethrum var. (L.) Link’ and depressus (Ball.) Maire’, an endemic endangered medicinal species listed in IUCN red list as Anacyclus Link. Our objective was to provide information their protection well sustainable development strategy, by understanding whether seeds germinate easily or have very sp...

anastrepha bezzii (diptera: tephritidae) larvae are common inside fruits of sterculia chicha (malvaceae) in minas gerais state, brazil. the seed dormancy and attack by a. bezzii of the native species s.chicha can be detrimental to seed germination and thus the natural spread of this plant. the objectives of the current study were to compare ecological observations of a. bezzii and s. chicha in ...

Salsola turcomanica (Litv) is a widespread wild plant species in Middle Eastern arid and semi-arid areas and is a relatively palatable halophyte species that has low establishment rate in the field. In winter 2017, in order to optimize the germination indices, its seeds were treated by scarification, stratification, scarification after stratification, gibberellic acid, potassium nitrat...
