Cinclodes pabsti is an endemic passerine restricted to the highland areas in southern Brazil. The aim of this study was provide information on its breeding biology. nesting cavities along road cuts were monitored from May 2008 March 2011. survey carried out monthly July 2008, February 2009, 2010 (non-breeding season), weekly August January (breeding and a 2 4-days basis geographic location, phy...

While throughout modern history it has been shown how thoroughly biological discourses were shaped by conceptions originating in the theory and praxis of breeding, for medieval period similar studies are mostly absent. This paper offers a symmetrical breeding asking to what extent they human ‘race’ ‘ancestry’ Europe. For scholarly knowledge analysis relies on Albertus Magnus’ extensive Aristote...

Improving sorghum resistance is a sustainable method to reduce yield losses due anthracnose, devastating disease caused by Colletotrichum sublineola . Elucidating the molecular mechanisms of sorghum– C. interactions would help identify biomarkers for rapid and efficient identification novel sources host-plant improvement, understanding pathogen virulence, facilitating breeding. Despite concerte...

Introduction Challenges of increasing population, decreasing land availability and quality, and demand for biobased products require continuing to increase our food, feed, forage and feedstock supply in a safe and sustainable manner while simultaneously decreasing agricultural inputs. Yields of crops such as maize (Zea mays L., corn) have dramatically increased in the US to meet these needs wit...
