A seed zone or provenance region is an area within which plants can be moved with little risk of maladaptation because the low environmental variation. Delineation zones great importance for commercial plantations and reforestation restoration programs. In this study, we used AFLP markers associated variation locating delimiting two widespread economically important Mexican pine species (Pinus ...

Seed availability and leaf litter limit plant establishment in some ecosystems. To evaluate the hypothesis that these factors limit understory plant recruitment in Pinus ponderosa forests, I conducted a seeding and litter removal experiment at six thinned sites in the Fort Valley Experimental Forest, northern Arizona. Experimental seeding of four native species (Penstemon virgatus, Erigeron for...

electrochemical oxidation of iodide has been studied in the presence of 2-thioborbituric acid using cyclic voltammetry and controlled-potential coulometry. the results indicate that, the resulting iodine takes part in halogenations reaction with 2-thiobarbituric acid. in addition, the present data are indicative of the suitability of iodide as a quasi mediator for determination of 2-thiobarbitu...

cancer is not just one disease, but a large group of almost one hundred diseases. its two main characteristics are uncontrolled growth of the cells in the human body and the ability of these cells to migrate from the original site and spread to distant sites. if the spread is not controlled, cancer can result in death. there has been continuous progress in the development of therapy for cancer....
