Pratylenchus loosi is an important root-lesion nematode that causes damage to tea plantations in Iran and all over the world. The present study reports on characterization evolution of three ß-1,4-endoglucanase genes: Pl-eng-2, Pl-eng-3 Pl-eng-4. gene structure Pl-eng-2 was fully determined with predicted signal peptide devoid linker domain carbohydrate-binding domain, while Pl-eng-4 were only ...

Globally, women bear an uneven burden for sexual HIV acquisition. Results from two clinical trials evaluating intravaginal rings (IVRs) delivering the antiretroviral agent dapivirine have shown that protection from HIV infection can be achieved with this modality, but high adherence is essential. Multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) can potentially increase product adherence by offering ...

With this increased interest in carbohydrates, paradigm shifts are occurring. Gaps in tables of food composition for carbohydrates are gradually being filled. Traditionally, carbohydrates in food have been determined by “difference” after analyzing other food constituents. Realizing the limitations of this method, many food databases are beginning to use direct chemical analysis to provide quan...
