For the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii (Bellows and Perring) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae), scanning and transmission electron microscopic techniques were used to observe the characteristics of egg oviposition into both plant cells/tissues and artificial membranes, and to document the morphology of mature egg pedicles removed from the ovaries of females. The exterior of the distal portion...

Abstract Background and Aims Chronic kidney disease represents one of the frequent pathologies non-communicable diseases where mortality rate is high. Oxidative stress main causes deterioration renal function. The aim this work to develop a new therapeutic molecule with an anti-fibrotic effect associated antioxidant increase clearance. Method This experimental study using aminonucleoside model ...

Present study has been carried out to understand the mating strategies of Eremurus himalaicus Baker., important medicinal endemic plant, for its sustainable utilization. The inflorescence architecture, large numbers attractive flowers, presence sterile flowers which give specific arrangement inflorescence, coloured, androecia and nectaries attract pollinators. Protoandry, moderate high pollen o...

A new species, Satureja hasturkii, is described using morphological characters and molecular studies in this study. The species closely related to S. hortensis but differs from it by very lax thyrsoid inflorescence, longer pedicels, shorter calyx, upper lower calyx teeth, corolla. In order support the data, are also done nrITS cptrnL-F gene regions. data gives better results phylogenetic analys...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Andromonoecy, as a breeding system, has generated a considerable body of theory in terms of sexual selection, but extended records comparing the performance of pollen grains from staminate versus hermaphrodite flowers are still sparse. The objective in this study was to elucidate the role of staminate flowers in the andromonoecious breeding system of olive (Olea europaea). ...
