The dung beetle genus Scarabaeus (Coleoptera, Scarabaeinae, Scarabaeini), predominantly found in the arid regions of the Old World, includes three endemic species inhabiting the dry ecosystems of western and southern Madagascar.These species are presumed to form a monophyletic clade nested within the African Scarabaeus.Semantic modelling of phenoty
Gingival growths are one of the most frequently encountered lesions in the oral cavity.Most of these lesions are innocuous, but some do have malignant potential.Different lesions with similar clinical presentations make it difficult to arrive at a correct diagnosis.One of the infrequently occurring gingival lesions is peripheral ossifying fibroma (
Conventional diagnostic modalities for assessing arterial circulation or tissue perfusion include blood pressure measurement, ultrasound evaluation, and contrast-based angiographic assessment.An infrared thermal camera can detect infrared radiation energy from the human body, which generates a thermographic image to allow tissue perfusion analysis.
Rapid detection of bacterial pathogens is essential for food safety and public health, yet bacteria can evade detection by entering a viable but nonculturable (VBNC) state under sublethal stress, such as antimicrobial residues.These bacteria remain active but undetectable by standard culture-based methods without extensive enrichment, necessitating
Phytophthora sojae is an oomycete that causes stem and root rot disease in soybean.P.sojae delivers many RxLR effector proteins, including Avr1b, into host cells to promote infection.We show here that Avr1b interacts with the soybean U-box protein, GmPUB1-1, in yeast two-hybrid, pull down, and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BIFC) assays.
