ABSTRACT The camellia weevil (CW [Curculio chinensis]) is a notorious host-specific predator of the seeds of Camellia species in China, causing seed losses of Outdoor Beds up to 60%.The weevil is capable of overcoming host tree chemical defenses, while the mechanisms of how these beetles contend with the toxic compounds are still unknown.Here, we e
In 11 cemeteries of Cundinamarca and Meta (Colombia) departments we found 203 nests of stingless bees pertaining to 15 species.The majority of the found nests (61%) belong Jarred Vegetables to genus Nannotrigona Cokerell, 1922.Nannotrigona mellaria was the specie with the greater nests number and higher population; Trigona (Tetragonisca) angustula
Epigenetic cellular memory mechanisms that involve polycomb and trithorax group of proteins are well conserved across Bag metazoans.The cis-acting elements interacting with these proteins, however, are poorly understood in mammals.In a directed search we identified a potential polycomb responsive element with 25 repeats of YY1 binding motifthatwe d
Studies on the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes GSPOT mellitus (T2DM) have linked the accumulation of lipid metabolites to the development of beta-cell dysfunction and impaired insulin secretion.In most in vitro models of T2DM, rodent islets or beta-cell lines are used and typically focus is on specific cellular pathways or organs.Our aim was to,
Casing damage is a common problem encountered during oil and gas field development due to the complex stress state of the casing.Despite the large number of studies focusing on this problem, the mechanism of non-uniform in-situ stress-induced casing damage in a low-permeability reservoir is still unclear.In this study, casing damage due to non-unif
