An exception to Darwin's syndrome: floral position, protogyny, and insect visitation in Besseya bullii (Scrophulariaceae)
(1995)Darwin pointed out that plants with vertical inflorescences are likely to be outcrossed if the inflorescence is acropetalous (flowers from the bottom up), the flowers are protandrous (pollen is dispersed before stigmas ... -
Exogenous siRNAs against chitin synthase gene suppress the growth of the pathogenic fungus Macrophomina phaseolina
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-04-06)Macrophomina phaseolina:, causative agent of the charcoal rot disease, impacts over 500 plant species, causing devastating crop failures worldwide. Due to the lack of effective management approach, charcoal rot can result ... -
Experimental evidence that soil heterogeneity enhances plant diversity during community assembly
(Oxford University Press, 2014-10)Aims Environmental heterogeneity is a primary mechanism explaining species coexistence and extant patterns of diversity. Despite strong theoretical support and ample observational evidence, few experimental studies in ... -
Experimental histoplasmosis in the mouse. Immunoglobulin class response, total immunoglobulin A levels, immune complex formation, and occurrence of antigen in serum and urine
(American Thoracic Society, 1989-10)Biotin-avidin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) were developed to study the appearance of free antibody of the IgM, G, and A classes of immune complexes (IC) containing those classes and of antigen in the serum ... -
Exploration of molecular pathways mediating electric field-directed Schwann cell migration by RNA-Seq
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2015-07)In peripheral nervous systems, Schwann cells wrap around axons of motor and sensory neurons to form the myelin sheath. Following spinal cord injury, Schwann cells regenerate and migrate to the lesion and are involved in ... -
Exploration of the antimicrobial synergy between selected natural substances on Streptococcus mutans to identify candidates for the control of dental caries
(American Society for Microbiology, 2022-04-21)Dental caries is caused by the buildup of acidic end products that result from the metabolism of dental plaque microbes. Natural products that are widely available could be used as an alternative or adjunctive anti-caries ... -
Expression and bioactivity of a single chain recombinant equine luteinizing hormone (reLH)
(Elsevier, 2007-01-15)To study structure–activity relationships and the role of equine gonadotropins in the normal and pathophysiology of equine reproduction, the availability of purified hormones is essential. Previous expression studies in ... -
Expression of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor correlates with the advance of clinical osteosarcoma
(Springer-Verlag, 2012-11)Purpose Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignancy in orthopaedic surgery. Studies suggest that expression of VEGF and high vascularity within osteosarcoma may correlate with poor prognosis. The purpose of this ... -
Fabrication and biological analysis of highly porous PEEK bionanocomposites incorporated with carbon and hydroxyapatite nanoparticles for biological applications
(NLM (Medline), 2020-08-06)Bone regeneration for replacing and repairing damaged and defective bones in the human body has attracted much attention over the last decade. In this research, highly porous polyetheretherketone (PEEK)/hydroxyapatite (HA) ... -
Fabrication and characterization of a protein composite conduit for neural regeneration
(American Chemical Society, 2019-09-11)Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes the proliferation of resident microglia and promotes cell migration. Peripheral nerve injury induces the morphological changes and proliferation macrophages. The implantation of neural ... -
Fabrication and characterization of microspheres encapsulating astrocytes for neural regeneration
(American Chemical Society, 2017-07)Astrocytes play a critical role in supporting the normal physiological function of neurons. Recent studies have revealed that astrocyte transplantation can promote axonal regeneration and functional recovery after spinal ... -
Failure of adult recruitment in Quercus buckleyi populations on the Eastern Edwards Plateau, Texas
(The University of Notre Dame, 2002-10)In many semiaridr egions woodlands, savannas and grasslands form an unstable landscape mosaic; the physiognomy of a particular patch in the mosaic changes over time. To explain such temporal and spatial variation in tree ... -
Fauna Entomologica de la Reserva Natural Bosawas, Nicaragua. Xi. Escarabajos (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) Nuevos Para la Fauna de Nicaragua
(León, Nicaragua: Museo Entomológico, Servicio Entomológico Autónomo, 1997)In this note 18 species of Caleoptera Scarabaeidae are reported as new for the fauna of Nicaragua : Pelidnota hirsutiphallica RATCLIFFE & JAMESON, 1989; Isonychus ocellatus BURMEISTER, 1855; Anomala semitonsa BATES, ... -
Feeding evoked by electrical stimulation in collared lizards
(Elsevier, 1988)Feeding was evoked in collared lizards, Crotaphytus collaris, using electrical stimulation of the brain (ESB). Stimulation sites were tested in the forebrain and midbrain of 39 animals. Six stimulation loci were localized ... -
FGDB: Database of follicle stimulating hormone glycans
(Elsevier, 2021)Glycomics, the study of the entire complement of sugars of an organism has received significant attention in the recent past due to the advances made in high throughput mass spectrometry technologies. These analytical ... -
First record of the Leaf Chafer Beetle Leucothyreus suturalis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) inhabiting termite nests, with notes on its life history
(Oxford University Press, 2015-01)We provide the first record of the leaf chafer beetle Leucothyreus suturalis Castelnau (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae) associated with nests of Cornitermes cumulans (Kollar) and Silvestritermes holmgreni (Snyder) ... -
