The rooting of rootstocks is considered a critical point in the production high-quality grapevine planting material. To maximize cutting rhizogenesis process, plant hormones, such as auxins, are used for development adventitious roots. In addition, some groups biostimulant have their main role root system, ensuring good growth aerial part. However, research using algae extract-based biostimulan...

The compound eye of the Golden Birdwing, Troides aeacus formosanus (Papilionidae, Lepidoptera), is furnished with three types of ommatidia, which are clearly different in pigmentation around the rhabdom. Each ommatidium contains nine photoreceptors, whose spectral sensitivities were analyzed electrophysiologically. We identified nine spectral types of photoreceptor with sensitivities peaking at...

A trial fibrillation (AF) is an independent, modifiable risk factor for ischemic stroke and independently associated with increased mortality. Nonvalvular AF is associated with a nearly 5-fold higher risk of ischemic stroke; this risk progressively increases with age. In a meta-analysis involving 29 clinical studies and 28 044 patients, judicious antithrombotic therapy with adjusted-dose warfar...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Hepatic concentrations of the powerful vasoconstrictor and fibrogen endothelin 1 (ET-1) and its receptors increase in human and experimental cirrhosis, suggesting a major role for ET-1 in the pathology of chronic liver disease. We investigated whether ET-1 receptor antagonism, after the development of fibrosis and cirrhosis, arrests/reverses the progression of chronic liver ...
