Abstract Background and aims Hakea prostrata (Proteaceae) is a highly phosphorus-use-efficient plant native to southwest Australia. It maintains high photosynthetic rate at low leaf phosphorus (P) exhibits delayed greening, convergent adaptation that increases nutrient-use efficiency. This study aimed provide broad physiological gene expression profiles across development, uncovering pathways l...

Studies have focused on identifying combinations of insects and organic waste to optimise bio-conversion. Here, the effects different diets (10% chicken feed complemented with 90% vegetable waste, garden cattle manure, or horse manure) growth survival rates nutritional value Zophobas morio Tenebrio molitor larvae, Acheta domesticus were investigated. Compared feed, decreased individual larval w...

BACKGROUND While additional research is needed, a number of large epidemiological studies show an association between circadian disruption and metabolic disorders. Specifically, obesity, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and other signs of metabolic syndrome all have been linked to circadian disruption in humans. Studies in other species support this association and generally reveal t...

Salinity is a major abiotic-stress worldwide which decreases crop growth productivity. The objective of the present study was to investigate whether salt stress has adverse effects on growth, photosynthetic efficiency, biochemical properties and nutrient status of maize. An experiment was carried out with seeds of four varieties of maize which were allowed to germinate for one week. Afterwards,...

Background: Nutritional support of the burn patient is essential to optimize, host immune defenses and to promote prompt wound healing. Furthermore, the increased needs in calorie requirement of burned patients, the composition of proteins, carbohydrates and fats in their diet is important. The purpose of this study was to evaluate energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intake and comparing wi...

Photobacterium profundum SS9 is a Gram-negative bacterium, originally collected from the Sulu Sea. Its genome consists of two chromosomes and a 80 kb plasmid. Although it can grow under a wide range of pressures, P. profundum grows optimally at 28 MPa and 15°C. Its ability to grow at atmospheric pressure allows for both easy genetic manipulation and culture, making it a model organism to study ...
