The new species differs from other Philippine Gekko by characteristics of external morphology, color pattern, and body size. The new species has been found low on trunks and buttresses of mature closed-canopy climax forest trees at l...

The announcement of the discovery of messenger RNA (mRNA) and the cracking of the genetic code took place within weeks of each other in a climax of scientific excitement during the summer of 1961. Although mRNA is of decisive importance to our understanding of gene function, no Nobel Prize was awarded for its discovery. The large number of people involved, the complex nature of the results, and...

Rabbits were immunized with frog or tadpole haemoglobin purified either by chromatography or by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The obtained rabbit antisera were shown to be specific for frog or tadpole haemolysates by double diffusion, immunoprecipitation and immunonuorescence. Indirect immunofluorescent staining of peripheral blood smears of Rana catesbeiana tadpoles at the metamorphic cl...

In Brazil, one blueberry plant of the cultivar Climax showing symptoms and signs Pestalotiopsis spp. was observed in a commercial orchard. Morphological molecular observations were consistent with those previously reported for trachycarpicola (ex-type trachycarpicola). Koch’s postulates fulfilled. To best our knowledge, this is first report P. trachycarpicola) causing leaf spot Brazil.

Development of aquaculture facilities like cages has led to rise in submerged structures which provide ample substratum biofoulers could greatly interfere with culture operations. An attempt was made study the biofouling communities and succession macro foulers on cage net installed open sea. The main objective present is reveal pattern panels sites find out seasonal settlement pattern, Dominan...
