OBJECTIVE To verify the phenotype to genotype correlations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) related disorders in an atypical maternally inherited encephalomyopathy. METHODS Neuroradiological, morphological, biochemical, and molecular genetic analyses were performed on the affected members of a pedigree harbouring the heteroplasmic A to G transition at nucleotide 3243 of the mitochondrial tRNALeu(...

Electric vehicles (EVs) are increasingly becoming an environmental-friendly option in current transportation systems, thanks to reduced fossil fuel consumption and carbon emission. However, the more widespread adoption of EVs has been hampered by following two factors: lack charging infrastructure limited cruising range. Energy estimation is crucial address these challenges as it provides found...

Valsa canker caused by pyri is one of the most destructive diseases commercial pear. For present analysis, 29 different endophytic fungal strains were isolated from branches a healthy pear tree. In dual culture assays, strain ZZ1 exhibited robust antifungal activity against all tested pathogens including pyri. Microscopic analyses suggested that following co-culture with ZZ1, hyphae V. ragged, ...
