TRUNK ANATOMY OF ASYMPTOMATIC AND SYMPTOMATIC GRAPEVINES PROVIDES INSIGHTS INTO DEGRADATION PATTERNS OF WOOD TISSUES CAUSED BY ESCA-ASSOCIATED PATHOGENS

Wood colonizing fungi are specialists that exploit the lignocellulose of cell wall components in host wood cylinders as a carbon sources.Some of these specialized fungi, including Fomitiporia mediterranea (Fmed) and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora (Pch), cause the disease Esca of grapevine.This disease complex includes grapevine leaf stripe disease (GL

Highly cooperative social species are expected to engage in frequent reconciliation following conflicts in order to maintain pack cohesiveness and preserve future cooperation.By contrast, in social species with low reliance on cooperation, reconciliation is expected to be less frequent.Here, we investigate the pattern of reconciliation in four capt

Phytochemicals as dietary constituents are being explored for their cancer preventive properties.Quercetin is a major constituent of various dietary products and recently its anti-cancer Sunscreen potential has been extensively explored, revealing its anti-proliferative effect on different cancer cell lines, both in vitro and in vivo.Quercetin is k

Developing an efficient fracturing fluid system is an enduring hot topic in the petrochemical industries, especially regarding the exploitation of limited oil.Biopolymers, especially polysaccharides (e.g., konjac gum, guar gum), are widely applied as fracturing fluids in fracturing as a result of their advantages.Herein, we propose an easy method o

Abstract Background The ability to compare RNA secondary structures is important in understanding their biological function and for grouping similar organisms into families by looking at evolutionarily conserved sequences such as 16S rRNA.Most comparison methods and benchmarks in the Hair Accessories literature focus on pseudoknot-free structures d
