Abstract Hop stunt viroid (HSVd) and Citrus tristeza virus (CTV) are the causal agents of most important diseases of citrus. Previously we reported a novel variant of HSVd that constantly associated with the yellow corky vein disease. Here, 19 individual citrus leaves with yellow corky vein symptoms were sampled for CTV by ELISA. In this study, most symptomatic samples were found to be inf...

With the infestation by Aedes aegypti, urban yellow fever might already exist. This did not occur because of either the lacking of a sufficient contact between the diseased individual and the A. aegypti or perhaps because this, after sixty years without transmitting the virus, needs an adaptation phase to infecting again.

BACKGROUND Multiple angioscopic yellow plaques are associated with diffuse atherosclerotic plaque, and may be prevalent in patients with myocardial infarction (MI), so in the present study the yellow plaques in the coronary arteries of patients with MI was evaluated using quantitative colorimetry, and compared with those of patients with stable angina (SA). METHODS AND RESULTS In the recorded...

The present study seeks to evaluate the influence of the time of harvest on the phenolic composition, antioxidant activities and anti-cholinesterase action of processed yellow yam (Dioscorea cayenensis). HPLC-DAD analysis of the processed yellow yam revealed the presence of some phenolic acids and flavonoids. The result showed a higher amount of most of the identified phenolic compounds in the ...

A yellow-eyed mutant was discovered in a strain of Heliothis virescens, the tobacco budworm, that already exhibited a mutation for yellow scale, y. We investigated the inheritance of these visible mutations as candidate markers for transgenesis. Yellow eye was controlled by a single, recessive, autosomal factor, the same type of inheritance previously known for y. Presence of the recombinant mu...

The cDNA sequences encoding prolactin (PRL), somatolactin (SL) and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) genes of the yellow perch were obtained. Brain, pituitary, gill, heart, liver, stomach, kidney, spleen, muscle and gonad tissues were analyzed from both male and female adult yellow perch for sex-specific tissue expression. The full length cDNA of yellow perch PRL consists of 2306 bp and PRL ...

Background Different yellow pigments can be responsible for the yellow colouration of flowers. This includes the wide-spread carotenoids, but also betalains, quinones, yellow flavonoids and anthochlore pigments (chalcones and aurones). Many popular ornamental plants do not produce yellow varieties or only ivory and pale yellow varieties despite of intensive conventional breeding efforts. World-...

We have visualized redox and structural changes in the mitochondria of yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a eukaryotic cell model using a genetically encoded yellow fluorescent protein (Y1-Yellow) and conventional fluorescence microscopy. Y1-Yellow originating from a yellow emitting luminous bacterium Aliivibrio sifiae Y1 was fused with a mitochondria-targeted sequence (mt-sequence). Y1-Yellow f...
