Some saprobe fungi (Phlebia radiata, Trametes versicolor, Coriolopsis rigida, Pycnoporus cinnabarinus, Fomes sclerodermus or Pleurotus pulmonarius) were able to bioconvert the ethyl acetate fraction (DEAF) and the corresponding aqueous exhausted fraction (EAF) of dry olive mill residue (DOR), reducing their phytotoxicity on Lepidium sativum seeds. Large amount of hydroxytyrosol together with ot...

Pitch canker, caused by Gibberella circinata, was discovered in California in 1986. Although initially quite damaging to Monterey pines (Pinus radiata), the severity of pitch canker has moderated in areas where the disease was first observed and some trees appear to have recovered completely. The absence of symptoms on trees that were once severely affected implies they have become more resista...

Recent studies concerned with the ecology of web-building spiders found that specific differences in web structure (see Foelix, 1992 for a summary), spatial distribution (e.g. Enders, 1974; Pasquet, 1984; Ward & Lubin, 1992; Herberstein, 1997a), temporal activity period (e.g. Ward & Lubin, 1992; Herberstein & Elgar, 1994) and species-specific attack behaviour (e.g. Vasconcellos-Neto & Lewinsohn...

The thermal response of mitochondrial polar lipids from a variety of chilling-sensitive and chilling-insensitive plants was determined by differential scanning calorimetry. A phase transition was observed at 15 degrees C for mitochondria from soybeam (Glycine max. cv Davis) hypocotyl, at 16 degrees C for tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum cv Flora-Dade and cv Grosse Lisse) fruit, at 15 degrees C f...

This study reports a new pest, Phykodes radiata (Ochsenheimer (Lepidoptera, Cossoidea) from poorly known family of moths, the Brachodidae on Ficus Western Ghats India.

Nine patients with pure dysarthria underwent computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Eight patients had infarcts of lacunar or larger size in the internal capsule: four in the superior portion of the anterior limb or adjacent corona radiata and four in the superior portion of the genu or the adjacent corona radiata. In one patient, there was a small infarct in the bulbar motor cortex...
