Glutamine enhances competence for organogenesis in pineapple leaves cultivated in vitro

Brazilian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2005
Leaf bases of pineapple cultured on a shoot induction medium (SIM) produced protuberances followed by shoot-buds via direct organogenesis at a frequency of 46 %. When 8 mM glutamine (gln) was a supplement to SIM (SIM8gln), the regeneration rate increased to 70 %, thus suggesting that 8mM gln increased explant competence for organogenesis. Besides this,

Habitat use and diel activity of insectivorous bats across land‐cover types on an Afrotropical oceanic island

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Using acoustic surveys, we investigated habitat use and diel activity patterns of insectivorous bats across the main land‐use types of the endemic‐rich Príncipe Island, in Central West Africa. We sampled bat activity at 48 sites spanning old‐growth forests, secondary regrowth forests, shaded cocoa plantations, and horticultural areas.
