Resumo Foi feito um estudo abordando os aspectos fenológicos, ecológicos e de produtividade do Pajurá (Couepia bracteosa Bentham.) para a região de Manaus. A espécie floresce na época mais chuvosa e frutifica no fi...

Resumo Foram feitas comparações anatômicas entre folhas de plantas diplóides e poliplóides do clone IAN 717 do híbrido Hevea brasiliensis x benthamiana. Em termos gerais, foram encontrados aumentos em tamanho signi...

ABSTRACT Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) are regulatory elements present in the 5′ leaders of mRNA that can significantly impact downstream gene expression in eukaryotes. In crop engineering, editing of uORFs can ...

Mankind is, at its most primal form, predatory. If one were to take a look back at humanity’s past, one would be confronted with the fact that our ancestors were not very different in comparison to the wildlife around ...

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine and metabolic disorder that affects women in their reproductive age. Recent studies have shown that genes have an important role in the etiology of PCOS. However, th...

Background: Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) infection has been associated with the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) etiopathology, thus, considering it a relevant etiological agent in the disease development. We have previously observ...

In the last years, hairy root (HR) cultures are gaining attention in the biotechnology industry. This particular plant cell culture derives from explants infected with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. They constitute a relative...

Alcohol consumption, in particular ethanol (EtOH), typically begins in human adolescence, often in a “binge like” manner. However, although EtOH abuse has a high prevalence at this stage, the effects of exposure duri...

Self-assembly has fascinated many scientists over the past few decades. Rapid advances and widespread interest in the study of this subject has led to the synthesis of an ever-increasing number of elegant and intricate f...

To date, control strategies used against insect pest species are based on synthetic insecticide applications. In addition, the efficacy of these treatments could be decreased due to insecticide resistance in insect popul...

Background: Silver nanosystems have attracted considerable attention for numerous applications in optoelectronics. The localized surface plasmon of silver nanoparticles embedded into mesoporous titania gives rise to an e...

Zirconia (ZrO2) is of great importance as a support for systems where high ionic conductivity and mechanical stability are required. Doping/defects have a significant effect on the physical properties of this oxide by st...

Abstract Populus species are crucial for forestry and industry, yet poplar rust limits their growth. The molecular basis of rust resistance remains poorly understood. This study identified 203 AP2/ERF genes in the Populu...

The genome of the pathogenic oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis is predicted to encode at least 134 high-confidence effectors (HaRxL) carrying the RxLR motif implicated in their translocation into plant cells. Howev...
