The Embryonic Development of the Cotylean Polyclad Phrikoceros jannetae

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyclads exhibit distinct developmental modes ranging from direct to indirect development, with several transitional stages also recognised. The existence of an indirect developmental mode in polyclads with a planktonic life history stage in the form of a free‐swimming larva is unique among all free‐living flatworms and makes polyclads a ...

Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...

EFFECT OF CULTURAL PRACTICES IN THE CONTROL OF COLLAR ROT INFECTION IN COFFEE SEEDLINGS

Annals of Tropical Research, 1982
Incorporation of sand in the soil influenced the disease severity of collar rot in coffee while lime significantly reduced the occurrence of the disease. Rice-straw mulching was found to increase the growth and degree of infection of R.

Linoleic Acid Enhances Murine Natural Killer Cell Function In Vitro but Compromises Mitochondrial Bioenergetic Function During Retroviral Infection

Immunology, EarlyView.
Natural Killer (NK) cells are potent effectors against virus‐infected and tumour cells. During Friend Virus (FV) infection, fatty acid metabolism supports NK‐cell effector functions. Here, we found that NK cells from FV‐infected mice preferentially take up linoleic acid (LA), which reduced proliferation, mitochondrial function, and increased reactive ...

RHIZOSPHERE AND RHIZOPLANE MICROFLORA OF COFFEE SEEDLINGS AS INFLUENCED BY COLLAR ROT AND BY SEED PRE-TREATMENT

Annals of Tropical Research, 1986
Rhizophere and rhizoplane microflora of coffee seedlings were studied by the dilution plate technique. The number of fungi, yeast and bacteria was higher in the rhizosphere than in the non-rhizosphere and rhizoplane.

In vitro antagonism of five rhizobacterial species against athelia rolfsii collar rot disease in soybean

Open Agriculture, 2018
Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) influence plant growth by a number of direct (producing plant growth promoting substances) and indirect (through prevention of deleterious effects of phytopathogenic microorganisms) mechanisms.

“Not Lower Class, Lazy Class”: Food Loathing as Class Abjection and Distinction via Instagram Comments on Mama J. Rae's Lunchbox‐Packing Video

Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines 4206 Instagram comments on a lunchbox‐packing video posted by Mama J. Rae, who self‐identifies as a “lower middle class wife.” Her excessive use of processed foods and sugary beverages provokes negative responses, many of which explicitly connect her lunchbox‐packing practices to class identity.

This (Mortal) Christian Life: Growth in Grace and the Problem of Senescence

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract Theological accounts of the Christian life attempt to describe the manner in which the Holy Spirit's communication of Christ's redemptive work engenders new ways of being in the world. Such descriptions normally entail, in one form or another, the conclusion that the Christian life is marked by progressive growth in grace, an upward spiral in ...

Improved Autotetraploid Induction Methods in Four Diploid Wild Peanut Species: Arachis duranensis, A. stenosperma, A. magna, and A. batizocoi

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., 2n = 4x = 40, AABB) is an important legume crop worldwide. Wild peanuts (Arachis spp.) represent a valuable secondary gene pool with diverse disease resistances. However, most wild peanut species are diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and this ploidy barrier is a major obstacle to hybridization and gene introgression.

Exploring Western Ghats microbial diversity for antagonistic microorganisms against fungal phytopathogens of pepper and chickpea [PDF]

Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology, 2015
Newly isolated microbial cultures from Western Ghat soil samples of Kerala region in India were screened for antagonistic activity by well diffusion and dual culture plating against Phytophthora capsici and Rhizoctonia solani, infecting pepper and ...
