Cyst nematodes are sedentary endoparasites of plants which cause important economic losses worldwide. New nematode control measures needed since the removal effective chemical nematicides from market due to their negative impact on environment and human health. Induced hatching second-stage juveniles in absence host plant using root exudates, also named “suicide hatching”, could be a sustainabl...

Acontia, located in the gastrovascular cavity of anemone, are thread-like tissue containing numerous stinging cells which serve as a unique defense tissue against predators of the immobile acontiarian sea anemone. Although its morphology and biological functions, such as defense and digestion, have been studied, the defense behavior and the specific events of acontia ejection and retraction are...

The Teulisna pallida (Moore, 1878) species-group is erected and reviewed. Two new species are described: ganesha sp. n. (Nepal) thomasi (Northeast India: Sikkim). combinations established: 1878), comb. quadrisignata A synonymy introduced: = Cossa brunnea Moore, 1878, syn. Lectotypes designated for 1878 1878. Adults, male female genitalia illustrated.

A proteinaceous trypsin inhibitor was purified from Crotalaria pallida seeds by ammonium sulfate precipitation, affinity chromatography on immobilized trypsin–Sepharose and TCA precipitation. The trypsin inhibitor, named CpaTI, had Mr of 32.5 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE and was composed of two subunits with 27.7 and 5.6 kDa linked by disulfide bridges. CpaTI was stable at 50 °C and lost 40% o...

Background: The Seshachalam hill ranges of Eastern Ghats are known for their endemic flora. There were seven species situated here in which present plant Terminalia pallida (T. pallida) is one, this Endemic semi-tree has a great medicinal value; at the same time, due to presence different types secondary metabolites, they easily form nanoparticles and exhibit certain high-quality ...

The results observed with this strain of Treponema pallidum may be stated as follows: 1. Normal human serum did not agglutinate this culture of Treponema pallidum in dilutions of 1:5 or higher; equal parts of treponema culture and normal serum (dilution 1:2) resulted in agglutination in about 50 per cent of the sera. With the strain of Treponema pallidum used in this study specific agglutinatio...

During a study on fungal diversity in petroleum contaminated soils in Khuzestan province, two species of hyphomycetes were isolated, which represent new records for the mycobiota of Iran. Based on the combination of morphological data and ITS-rDNA sequence, the isolates were identified as Alternaria obovoidea and Emericellopsis pallida. Morphological descriptions and illustrations are provided ...

Trapania is the second largest genus belonging to family Goniodorididae, of which most species are reported from Indo-Pacific waters. To date, there nine distributed along temperate coasts East Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea: fusca, graeffei, hispalensis, lineata, maculata, orteai, pallida, sanctipetrensis tartanella. However, validity some these has been problematic due uncertain taxonom...
