Development of a locus-specific, co-dominant SCAR marker for assisted-selection of the Sw-5 (Tospovirus resistance) gene cluster in a wide range of tomato accessions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The best levels of broad-spectrum Tospovirus resistance reported in tomatoes thus far are conferred by the Sw-5 locus. This locus contains at least five paralogues (denoted Sw-5a through Sw-5e), of which Sw-5b represents the actual resistance gene.

Management and Modification of Flavonoids Against Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

open access: yesFood Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Flavonoids protect against NAFLD by enhancing mitochondrial function, reducing ER stress, and modulating gut microbiota. Structural modifications improve flavonoid efficacy, offering a promising dietary strategy for NAFLD management. ABSTRACT Flavonoids are small bioactive molecules commonly found in plant‐derived foods, exhibiting antioxidant, anti ...

Inherent and antigen-induced airway hyperreactivity in NC mice

open access: yesAllergology International, 1999
In order to clarify the airway physiology of NC mice, the following experiments were carried out. To investigate inherent airway reactivity, we compared tracheal reactivity to various chemical mediators in NC, BALB/c, C57BL/6 and A/J mice in vitro.

Genomic introgression mapping of field-derived multiple-anthelmintic resistance in Teladorsagia circumcincta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Preventive chemotherapy has long been practiced against nematode parasites of livestock, leading to widespread drug resistance, and is increasingly being adopted for eradication of human parasitic nematodes even though it is similarly likely to lead to ...

Transposing from the laboratory to the classroom to generate authentic research experiences for undergraduates. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Large lecture classes and standardized laboratory exercises are characteristic of introductory biology courses. Previous research has found that these courses do not adequately convey the process of scientific research and the excitement of discovery ...

Evaluation of Immunogenicity of Seasonal Influenza Split HA Vaccines Involved With Changes of Vaccine Strains Using Mouse and Human Sera

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seasonal influenza is prevalent every winter, and influenza vaccines are used to safeguard public health. As the influenza vaccines are produced in embryonated hen eggs using vaccine viruses recommended by the World Health Organization each year based on the epidemic situation, it is important, from the perspective of public health, to ...

Dissecting the genetic components of a quantitative trait locus for blood pressure and renal pathology on rat chromosome 3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: We have previously confirmed the importance of rat chromosome 3 (RNO3) genetic loci on blood pressure elevation, pulse pressure (PP) variability and renal pathology during salt challenge in the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive (SHRSP ...
