The fecundity of Globodera rostochiensis (RA) females that developed on resistant Rosa and susceptible Katahdin potato cultivars were compared. Cysts collected from each cultivar were bulked, separated into four sizes (> 500 mum, 355-500 mum, 250-355 mum, and < 250 mum), and crushed to determine fecundity as measured by viable egg content (VEC). Fewer and generally smaller cysts developed on Ro...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate the effects of Rosa canina L fruit extracts on histological damages, oxidative stress, and functional disturbances induced by bilateral renal ischemia and reperfusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ischemia and reperfusion were induced on the kidneys of anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats in the reperfusion and Rosa canina groups were administe...

Lateral branching plays an important role in the elaboration of adult plants architecture. Herein, we adopted a modified AFLP approach combined with a degenerate primer amplification to identify and isolate in the underinvestigated ornamental species H. rosa-sinensis an orthologous element of the MAX2 gene (More Axillary Branches), which acts downstream of the branching inhibition signaling pat...

After publication of our article [1], it has come to our attention that Professor Cesare Formisano was incorrectly excluded from the list of authors in the initial version of this manuscript. We publish this correction to update the author list to include Professor Formisano as an author. The correct author list is as follows:. Gennaro Limite, Emanuela Esposito, Viviana Sollazzo, Giuseppe Cianc...

To determine the kinetics of tissue macrophage and microglial engraftment after bone marrow (BM) transplantation, we have developed a model using the ROSA 26 mouse. Transplanted ROSA 26 cells can be precisely identified in recipient animals because they constitutively express beta-galactosidase (beta-gal) and neomycin resistance. B6/129 F2 mice were irradiated and transplanted with BM from ROSA...

The concept of γ-semi-regular-open sets and γ-sclosed spaces have been introduced and explored in [6]. In this paper, we continue studying the properties and characterizations of γ-semi-regular open sets and γ-s-closed spaces.
