Perlucin is one of the proteins of the organic matrix of nacre (mother of pearl) playing an important role in biomineralisation. This nacreous layer can be predominately found in the mollusc lineages and is most intensively studied as a compound of the shell of the marine Australian abalone Haliotis laevigata. A more detailed analysis of Perlucin will elucidate some of the still unknown process...

In the frame of IGCP575 (International Geological Correlation Programme 575) a short well section of the AK-1X well (well name changed due to economic interests), located in the Amasra area of the Zonguldak Basin of NW Turkey (Fig. 1 A, B), has been revised. An atypical co-occurrence of palynological species such as Sinuspores sinuatus, Vestispora fenestrata, V. laevigata, Torispora securis, an...

Ganoderma colossum is a rare species of Ganodermataceae family with many biological and biochemical properties. It is associated with rot, wilt, dieback, and wood decay of many host plants such as Ficus carcica, Celtis laevigata, Pinus hondurensis, Callitris robusta, Eucalyptus citrodora, E. paniculata, E. puncata, and Phoenix canariensis.

Abstract The Neotropical Neoponera laevigata species-group is revised. This group can be separated from others in the genus by means of a new key to species–groups. We propose two species, N. gojira sp. nov. , and mashpi latter being usually confused with its putative sister (Smith). small, termite-feeding now contains five taxa. provide comprehensive redescriptions for known castes three previ...

Se evaluó la germinación y el vigor de las semillas mezquite (Prosopis laevigata) en función condiciones almacenamiento. utilizaron almacenadas durante 10 años, mantenidas frascos vidrio a temperatura ambiente. A través pruebas envejecimiento acelerado se determinó vigor, mediante soluciones saturadas sal, cloruro potasio (KCl), litio (LiCl) bromuro (KBr); tiempos almacenamiento (6, 12 24 h). L...
