Few studies have applied NGS methods to investigate the microbiome of vertebrates in their natural environment and in freshwater fishes in particularly. Here, we used pyrosequencing of the 16S gene rRNA to (i) test for differences in kidney bacterial communities (i.e. microbiota) of dwarf and normal whitefish found as sympatric pairs, (ii) test the hypothesis of higher bacterial diversity in no...

Light-induced inhibition of stem growth is a common phenomenon in plants. Particularly well investigated is the case of peas, Pisum sativum, mainly thanks to the work of Lockhart. Lockhart showed that growth of Alaska peas, a tall variety, was retarded when plants were transferred from darkness to low-intensity light but that, after a period of inhibition, the plants resumed growth at a rate eq...

Abstract Coconut palms are classified into two types, namely Tall and Dwarf, hybrid semi-tall types. By breeding activities, such as the selection of coconut germplasm, evaluation utilization in program, IPCRI-IAARD has released 52 varieties until 2022, consisting Talls, Dwarfs, Hybrids, Semi types been used development programs. The potential good local tall seedlings is around 6.0 million see...

abstract in order to detect onion yellow dwarf virus in khorasan province in iran, onion samples from major onion growing regions where collected in spring and summer 2010. to determine the distribution of the virus, samples were randomly taken from onion fields in vicinity of mashhad, chenaran, quchan, torbate heydarye, neyshabur, bardaskan, gonabad, fariman, faruj, shirvan, bojnourd and ash k...

Data are presently available on the luminosities and half-light radii of 101 globular clusters associated with lowluminosity parent galaxies. The luminosity distribution of globulars embedded in dwarf galaxies havingMv > −16 is found to differ dramatically from that for globular clusters surrounding giant host galaxies with Mv < −16. The luminosity distribution of globular clusters in giant gal...

A dominant dwarf mutant of barley (Hordeum vulgare) that resembles dominant gibberellin (GA) "-insensitive" or "-nonresponsive" mutants in other species is described. alpha-Amylase production by endosperm half-grains of the mutant required GA3 at concentrations about 100 times that of the WT. The mutant showed only a slight growth response to GA3, even at very high concentrations. However, when...
