Our ability to control diseases caused by parasitic nematodes is constrained by a limited portfolio of effective drugs and a paucity of robust tools to here investigate parasitic nematode biology.RNA interference (RNAi) is a reverse-genetics tool with great potential to identify novel drug targets and interrogate parasite gene function, but present
Many insects are influenced by the phenology of their host plants.In North Central Florida, Narnia femorata (Hemiptera: Coreidae) spends its entire life cycle living and feeding on Opuntia mesacantha ssp.lata.This cactus begins producing flower buds in April that lead to unripe green fruit in June that ripen into red fruit through December.Many mor
Most aeronautical accidents happen during takeoff and landing.The main objective when studying those phases of the flight mission is to answer a seemingly simple questions: can the airplane safely takeoff and land on the stipulated runway dimensions with the intended weight? The main objective of the present paper is to obtain new analytical answer
Abstract The present study examined the interplay between chronic intelligence beliefs, manipulated intelligence beliefs and self-handicapping processes.Prior studies showed that holding more of a fixed intelligence theory makes one vulnerable to resorting to self-protective mechanisms such as self-handicapping, while growth intelligence mindset ca
Garlic is an important crop cultivated worldwide and several different viruses have been associated with propagative material.Garlic is propagated from bulbs and/or from vegetative topsets of the inflorescences known as bulbils.The effects of the geographic origin and the type of the propagative material on the phylogenetic click here relationships
