Pollen from genetically modified plants in honey – problems with quantification and proper labelling

Journal of Apicultural Science, 2013
Maize can be a valuable source of pollen when plants attractive for bees are not available. Honeybees can forage from conventional maize as well as from genetically modified (GM ) maize.

Memantine Administration Enhances Glutamatergic and GABAergic Pathways in the Human Hippocampus of Alzheimer's Disease Patients

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the traditional treatments in Alzheimer's disease (AD) is administration of memantine, the NMDA receptor antagonist. However, the molecular mechanism of the complex memantine action and the impact on the hippocampal proteome in humans is unknown.

Multiplex quantification of four DNA targets in one reaction with Bio-Rad droplet digital PCR system for GMO detection

Scientific Reports, 2016
The advantages of the digital PCR technology are already well documented until now. One way to achieve better cost efficiency of the technique is to use it in a multiplexing strategy. Droplet digital PCR platforms, which include two fluorescence filters,

Growth inhibition of arable weeds by cerato‐platanin, a plant immune defense activator of fungal origin

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Plants possess an innate immune system able to detect pathogens' molecules such as cerato‐platanin (CP), a protein produced by the fungus Ceratocystis platani. This study shows that the application of this protein elicitor to weeds can be exploited as a novel herbicide mode of action.

A Controllable‐Stiffness Tensegrity Robot Joint for Robust Compliant Manipulation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With concerns about safety in human–robot interactions, there is a growing demand for inherent compliance in robot manipulation, especially in healthcare applications, where remote tendon‐driven mechanisms have drawn increasing attention, as they can reduce the overall robot joint size and weight by decoupling the motor from the rotary joint ...

When Structure and Content of Socioscientific Argumentation Develop in an Unbalanced Way: A Case Study

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To cultivate the capability of making informed decisions on socioscientific issues, ideally, we hope students would engage in discerning and evaluating justifications for and against different positions while constructing well‐structured, persuasive arguments.

Functional validation of a white pupae minimal gene construct in Ceratitis capitata (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
An intronless version of the white pupae (wp) gene was engineered to restore the wild type brown puparium color in white pupae phenotype mutants of the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata. Functionality of the minimal gene version (mini‐wp) was verified in vivo, as one copy of mini‐wp successfully restored the wild type phenotype in homozygous ...
