Solar wind protons at 1 AU: trends and bounds, constraints and correlations
, 2014 The proton temperature anisotropy in the solar wind exhibits apparent bounds which are compatible with the theoretical constraints imposed by temperature-anisotropy driven kinetic instabilities.

Transgenic cowpeas (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) expressing Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3Ba protein are protected against the Maruca pod borer (Maruca vitrata) [PDF]
Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture (PCTOC), 2017 Although cowpea is an important food security crop in Africa, its production is constrained by insect pests such as the legume pod borer (Maruca vitrata) (Lepidoptera). Potential control strategies have focussed on using insecticidal toxins such as the crystal Cry proteins and vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vips) encoded by the cry and vip genes ...

Application of insulin signaling to predict insect growth rate in Maruca vitrata (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Insect growth is influenced by two major environmental factors: temperature and nutrient. These environmental factors are internally mediated by insulin/insulin-like growth factor signal (IIS) to coordinate tissue or organ growth.

A Parallel-Propagating Alfv\'enic Ion-Beam Instability in the High-Beta Solar Wind
, 2013 We investigate the conditions under which parallel-propagating Alfv\'en/ion-cyclotron waves are driven unstable by an isotropic ($T_{\perp \alpha} = T_{\parallel\alpha}$) population of alpha particles drifting parallel to the magnetic field at an average

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Most insect species encode multiple insulin-like peptides (ILPs) that exhibit functional overlaps in mediating physiological processes such as development and reproduction. Why do they need multiple ILPs?

A zone of preferential ion heating extends tens of solar radii from Sun
, 2017 The extreme temperatures and non-thermal nature of the solar corona and solar wind arise from an unidentified physical mechanism that preferentially heats certain ion species relative to others.

Role of morphological factors of pigeonpea in imparting resistance to spotted pod borer, Maruca vitrata Geyer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) [PDF]
, 2016 Morphological characters of eleven test genotypes of pigeonpea, such as growth habit, pubescence of pods and leaves, pod angle and pod wall thickness were studied in order to work out the relationship of these traits vis-à-vis resistance/susceptibility ...
