Determinants of BCG scarification among children in rural Guinea-Bissau: A prospective cohort study

Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2018
Background: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination may have beneficial non-specific effects on child survival, the effects being stronger for children developing a scar. In a prospective cohort study, we examined determinants for not developing a BCG

Intraspecific variation in stomatal architecture, gas exchange, and drought response of a dominant prairie grass sourced from broad climatic gradients

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding how plant populations adapt to water limitation through stomatal traits is key to predicting drought responses. The dominant C4 grass Andropogon gerardi, distributed across sharp climate gradients in North America, offers an excellent focal species to study stomatal architecture (size and density).

Methods of overcoming dormancy in Schizolobium amazonicum Huber ex Ducke (Leguminosae - Caesalpinioideae) seeds. [PDF]

, 2013
Nas espécies tropicais a ocorrência de dormência é freqüente, causando germinação lenta e desuniforme. Para superar esta dormência tratamentos como escarificação em superfície abrasiva e água quente têm sido eficientes.

Influence of Scarification on the Germination Capacity of Acorns Harvested from Uneven-aged Stands of Pedunculate Oak (Quercus robur L.)

, 2018
Scarification involves the partial removal of the seed coat on the side of the hilum, opposite the radicle, to speed up germination in acorns. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of scarification on the germination capacity of ...

Assessing the viability of genebanked seeds from rare, wild plants native to the United States using the D.E.A.D. paradigm

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Genebanks must maintain viable seeds for decades. Seeds that germinate are clearly alive, but some seeds, often from wild populations, do not germinate because they are dormant, empty, aged, or damaged (D.E.A.D.). This work evaluates the effects of D.E.A.D.

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Impact of forest management regimes on ligneous regeneration in the Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso [PDF]

, 2007
Annual early fire, selective tree cutting and grazing exclusion are currently used to manage the State forests of the Sudanian savanna of Burkina Faso, West Africa. Such prescriptions, however, are not based on experimental evidence.

Epithelial Immunization Induces Polyfunctional CD8+ T Cells and Optimal Mousepox Protection. [PDF]

, 2014
We assessed several routes of immunization with vaccinia virus (VACV) in protecting mice against ectromelia virus (ECTV). By a wide margin, skin scarification provided the greatest protection. Humoral immunity and resident-memory T cells notwithstanding,
