Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), vectors the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, one of the causal organisms of the devastating citrus disease "huanglongbing" or citrus greening. In the United States, D. citri was first discovered in Florida, in 1998. Tamarixia radiata Waterston (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) was imported from Asia and released in Florida in 1999-2001 to im...

Mitochondria are eukaryotic organelles supporting individual life-style via generation of proton motive force and cellular energy, and indispensable metabolic pathways. As part of genome sequencing of the white rot Basidiomycota species Phlebia radiata, we first assembled its mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). So far, the 156 348 bp mtDNA is the second largest described for fungi, and of considerabl...

Tree-ring δC is widely employed in ecophysiological studies, because it represents an integra-ted proxy of the ratio between photosynthesis (A) and stomatal conductance (g), which expresses the intrin-sic water use efficiency (iWUE), strongly affected by the environmental conditions experienced by the plant during its life span. Tree-ring δC also reflects long term variations of atmospheric CO2...

Crude Amaryllidaceae alkaloids (AAs) extracted from Lycoris radiata are reported to exhibit significant anti-cancer activity. However, the specific alkaloids responsible for the pharmacodynamic activity and their targets still remain elusive. In this context, we strived to combine affinity ultrafiltration with topoisomerase I (Top I) as a target enzyme aiming to fish out specific bioactive AAs ...

We tested the ability of sporophytes of a small kelp, Ecklonia radiata (C. Agardh) J. Agardh, to adjust their photosynthesis, respiration, and cellular processes to increasingly warm ocean climates along a latitudinal gradient in ocean temperature (∼4°C). Tissue concentrations of pigment and nutrients decreased with increasing ocean temperature. Concurrently, a number of gradual changes in the ...

RATIONALE A 33-year-old male presented with complete weakness of the right extremities due to corona radiata infarct. PATIENT CONCERNS The main concerns of the patient is recovery of hand function especially related to finger extension. DIAGNOSES Right corona radiata infarct. INTERVENTIONS He underwent physical therapy and occupational therapy at the outpatient clinic of the rehabilitatio...

Abstract The combined culture of fed species (bivalves, fish) and macroalgae, known as integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA), has been suggested a method mitigating localised nitrogen (N) increase from aquaculture, whilst simultaneously culturing macroalgae for commercial applications. development IMTA requires an understanding the N ecophysiology candidate macroalga species. We examined ...

Wood surface roughness, free energy (SFE), wettability, and bonding quality for water-based acrylic coatings were investigated. The samples tested in this study included Pinus radiata, sylvestris, Larch, Hemp oak, Catalpa tree, Camphor. Sandpaper with grits of 180, 240, 320, 400, 500 was utilized to sand wood surfaces. van OSS-Chaudhury-Good equation (vOCG) used calculate the SFE values. modifi...

Tamarixia radiata (Waterston) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is an effective idiobiont ectoparasitoid of the psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), vector of the huanglongbing (citrus greening disease) pathogen. We examined the external and functional morphology of the antennal sensilla of adultmale and femaleT. radiatabyusing scanning and transmission electron microscopy, respect...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We sought first to characterize the clinical syndromes of patients found to have angiographic, computed tomographic, or magnetic resonance imaging scan indexes of anterior choroidal artery territory infarction and then to determine the frequency of involvement of the periventricular corona radiata in such patients. METHODS Sixteen patients were selected based on angiogr...
