background : 5-fluorouracil could lead to a decline in fertility in caenorhabditis elegans. the aim of this study was to describe the mechanisms underlying such an altered fertility phenotype and to illustrate the specific genes and path-ways that are involved in the related phenotypic changes in c. elegans. methods : we isolated total rna from the samples and used a new method called digital g...

We investigate how locomotory behavior is generated in the brain focusing on paradigmatic connectome of nematode Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) and neuronal muscular activity patterns that control forward locomotion. map network worm as a multilayer takes into account various neurotransmitters neuropeptides. Using logistic regression analysis, we predict neurons subnetwork. Combining Hindm...

Infrared laser as a heat source could induce gene expression by activating promoter genes in Caenorhabditis elegans, previously reported. In this study, we innovatively used 266-nm to irradiate C. elegans for only one second and observed significant inhibition of the overall number eggs laid (P < 0.0001) first day egg laying (P=0.005). This is study establish how light with wavelength can in...

Aquaculture systems may release large amounts of nutrients into the marine ecosystem that can lead to eutrophication. Many seaweed species are efficient in reducing the nutrient concentration in aquaculture waste. In this study, the agarophyte Gelidium elegans originating from Korea was investigated for bioremediation of tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) broodstock effluent (SBE) in a shrimp hatch...

b r Naturally occurring entomopathogens are important regulatory factors in insect populations. Many species are employed as biological control agents of insect pests in row and glasshouse crops, orchards, ornamentals, range, turf and lawn, stored products, and forestry and for abatement of pest and vector insects of veterinary and medical importance. The comparison of entomopathogens with conv...
