The performance of a fluidized bed reactor using immobilized Phanerochaete chrysosporium to remove 2,4-dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) from aqueous solution was investigated. The contribution of lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) secreted by Phanerochaete chrysosporium to the 2,4-DCP degradation was examined. Results showed that Lip and Mnp were not essential to 2,4-DCP degradation...

Phelipanche aegyptiaca and Orobanche spp. are obligate plant root-parasitic weeds that cause extensive damage in agricultural crop plants. Their germination requires exposure to strigolactones (SLs) exuded by the host roots. Here we studied genes tomato involved SL exudation their impact on parasitic weeds. We provide evidence CRISPR/Cas9-mediated targeted mutagenesis of two homologous ATP-bind...

This paper opens up a new issue dealing with Luffa cylindrica (LC) lignocellulosic biomass recovery in order to produce 2G bioethanol. LC fibers are composed of three principal fractions, namely, α-cellulose (45.80%  ± 1.3), hemicelluloses (20.76%  ± 0.3), and lignins (13.15%  ± 0.6). The optimization of LC fibers hydrothermal and diluted acid pretreatments duration and temperature were achieve...

suaeda iranshahrii akhani & freitag, previous specimens cited as s. maritima,is described as a new species of sect. brezia endemic to the coasts of the persian gulf; it is subdivided into the type variety distributed along the persian side and var. arabica freitag from the arabian shore. the new species is named in honour of dr. musa iranshahr, the eminent iranian botanist to whom this festschr...

Psammomys mange clcctivement les tiges et les feuilles salees et succulentes de plusieurs especes de plantes de la famille des Chenopodiacees. Des donnees sur les preferences et les besoins alimentaires de 1'animal sont presentees et notamment sur les quantites qu'il peut ingerer lorsqu'il mange exclusivement soit Suaeda mollis, soit Traganum nudatum, sdit Salsola foetida.
