The present study aimed to investigate the effect of hydroalcoholic extract of Morinda tinctoria Roxb fruit on inhibition of growth and induction of apoptosis in human prostate carcinoma cells (PC-3) and lung carcinoma (A549) cells. Morinda tinctoria Roxb hydro alcoholic fruit extract (MTHFE) was taken to in vitro studies, like phytochemical screening, MTT assay, cell induced apoptosis. Dose de...

Population reinforcement, through translocations of individuals, aims to restore populations threatened species. The increase in population size or geographic distribution is often used as positive facts when assessing the recovery a species, making abundance monitoring major criterion. Based on 8-year reinforced North African Houbara bustard (Chlamydotis undulata undulata), over an area 50 170...

A cutaneous Pythium insidiosum reinfection was diagnosed in an equine in Brazil. Lesions with focal presentation appeared 2 years apart. The first infection and even immunotherapy were not likely to develop enough immune response to prevent reinfection. The use of adjuvants should be considered in the immunotherapy of pythiosis.

The oomycete Pythium oligandrum is a mycoparasite and licenced biological control agent. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of P. oligandrum strain CBS 530.74, which is 36.80 Mb. It contains 341 scaffolds and 11,647 predicted protein-coding genes. As reported for plant-pathogenic Pythium species, RXLR-type effector sequences are absent.

Pilasporangium apinafurcum, formerly classified as Pythium apinafurcum, is a unique oomycete that infects plants asymptomatically. Here, we present the draft genome sequences of two variants of P. apinafurcum, JCM 30513 and JCM 30514, isolated from uncultivated field soil in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan.
