The genus Neofusicoccum is comprised of approximately 50 species with a worldwide distribution and typically associated plants. well-known for the diseases it causes on economically ecologically relevant host In particular, members this are responsible grapevine diseases, such as leaf spots, fruit rots, shoot dieback, bud necrosis, vascular discoloration wood, perennial cankers. Many secondary ...

This study aimed to investigate why empty branches occur in ‘Shine Muscat’ grapevines. Moreover, it also understand the bud characteristics of grapevines by examining development, occurrence various necrosis types and inflorescence primordium formation. The rate formation was highest September for young vines October adult vines. In contrast, rather low March following year. blooming during flo...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS In trees, bud development is driven by endogenous and exogenous factors such as species and climate, respectively. However, knowledge is scarce on how these factors drive changes in bud size across different time scales. METHODS The seasonal patterns of apical bud enlargement are related to primary and secondary growth in two coexisting Mediterranean oaks with contrasting ...

In patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the addition of long-acting beta(2)-agonists (LABA) to glucocorticosteroids (GCS) results in better control than increasing the dose of GCS alone. In smooth muscle cells and fibroblasts, one apparent underlying mechanism involves the ability of LABAs to activate the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The present study investigates th...

The aim of the present investigation was to compare the efficacy of the steroids administered by inhalation and parenteral route in lambs with experimentally induced endotoxemia. In this study, 19 lambs were used at 2 months of age. Seven groups were designed as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (n=3), LPS+budesonide (BUD) (n=3), LPS+BUD+enrofloxacin (ENR)+trimethoprim-sulfadoxine (TM-SD) (n=3), LPS+dex...

Hereditary Multiple Malformation (HMM) is a naturally occurring, autosomal recessive, homozygous lethal mutation found in Japanese quail. Homozygote embryos (hmm-/-) show polydactyly similar to talpid2 and talpid3 mutants. Here we characterize the molecular profile of the hmm-/- limb bud and identify the cellular mechanisms that cause its polydactyly. The hmm-/- limb bud shows a severe lack of ...
