Scaling law links plant growth variation to grain yield in wheat stands

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Growth rate, a fundamental trait associated with plant resource use, scales with plant mass, following consistent allometric power laws shaped by biophysical constraints and natural selection captured in metabolic scaling theory (MST). Although well‐established in wild plants, MST has been overlooked in crop improvement.

Discrete typing units of Trypanosoma cruzi identified in rural dogs and cats in the humid Argentinean Chaco [PDF]

, 2012
The discrete typing units (DTUs) of Trypanosoma cruzi that infect domestic dogs and cats have rarely been studied. With this purpose we conducted a cross-sectional xenodiagnostic survey of dog and cat populations residing in 2 infested rural villages in ...

Phylogeny and Disease Association of Shiga Toxin–producing Escherichia coli O91

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2009
The diversity and relatedness of 100 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli O91 isolates from different patients were examined by multilocus sequence typing. We identified 10 specific sequence types (ST) and 4 distinct clonal groups.

Reprogramming of Gene Transcripts and Metabolites by the Wild Soybean Endophyte Pseudomonas sp. 77S3 Improves Soybean Salt Tolerance

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Soybean is a critical source of protein and vegetable oil worldwide. Expanding its cultivation into salinity lands represents a promising strategy for increasing production; however, soil salinity severely limits soybean growth by disrupting physiological and metabolic homeostasis.

Multilocus sequence typing of from broilers

Veterinary Microbiology, 2009
isolates from a national Swedish monitoring in broilers were characterized by multilocus sequencing typing (MLST) in order to study the genetic diversity of this bacterial population. Isolates were initially characterized by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). One hundred were chosen for MLST genotyping.

Germicidal potential and skin compatibility of an innovative UVC phototherapy device emitting at 234 nm

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
A phototherapy device emitting principally at 234 nm was assessed for antimicrobial efficacy against Methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus and evaluated for skin health hazards. Abstract Chronic wounds are a major healthcare issue affecting more than 10 million Americans each year, with a 5‐year survival similar to cancer and costing the ...
