Studies in anhydrobiotic plants have defined many genes which are upregulated during desiccation, but comparable studies in invertebrates are at an early stage. To develop a better understanding of invertebrate anhydrobiosis, we have begun to characterise dehydration-inducible genes and their proteins in anhydrobiotic nematodes and bdelloid rotifers; this review emphasises recent findings with ...

Background: Plant-parasitic nematodes are important pests of horticultural crops causing damage and significant reduction in the crop yield of pineapple. A survey was conducted to determine the types, frequency and population distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with pineapple in some pineapple-producing states in Nigeria. A total of 30 farms were sampled from Delta, Imo, and Cr...

plant parasitic nematodes with various populations have found in the soil around the roots of plants. due to the biologic value of landscape and the importance of plant parasitic nematodes in the reduction of the growth of landscape plants; the study of identification, abundance and distribution of plant-parasitic nematodes in landscape of tehran city, iran was in interest. in order to dentific...

Кулпунай Fragaria ananassa Duch. дүйнө жүзүндө кеңири аянттарда өстүрүлгөн, көп жылдык чөп өсүмдүгү. Ал субтропикалык жылуу, салкын климатта эң жакшы өсүп, анын жемиштери өзгөчө өңү, жыты жана даамы менен адамзат үчүн өтө баалуу азык болуп саналат. толук бышкан абалында таза түрүндө, андан сырткары таттууларды ичимдиктерди жасоодо колдонулат. өстүрүүчүлүк Кыргызстанда маанилүү артыкчылыктуу баг...

Late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) proteins are associated with desiccation tolerance in resurrection plants and in plant seeds, and the recent discovery of a dehydration-induced Group 3 LEA-like gene in the nematode Aphelenchus avenae suggests a similar association in anhydrobiotic animals. Despite their importance, little is known about the structure of Group 3 LEA proteins, although computer ...

Accumulation of the non-reducing disaccharide trehalose is associated with desiccation tolerance during anhydrobiosis in a number of invertebrates, but there is little information on trehalose biosynthetic genes in these organisms. We have identified two trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (tps) genes in the anhydrobiotic nematode Aphelenchus avenae and determined full length cDNA sequences for both...
