Trapping by specific sex pheromones initiated in 2009 to monitor three pests, peach twig borer (Anarsia lineatella), oriental fruit moth (Cydia molesta) and plum fruit moth (Grapholita funebrana) revealed the greater importance of peach twig borer in comparison to the others.The results of monitoring the development of larval stages over time and t
Genetic Variability in Slovenian Cohort of Patients with Oculocutaneous Albinism
Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is an inherited Audio Turntable Stylus disorder affecting the visual system and skin pigmentation.Our aim was to evaluate genetic and clinical heterogeneity in a cohort of Slovenian paediatric patients with clinically suspected OCA using advanced molecular-genetics approach.In as much as 20 out of 25 patients, genetic
Conceptual design of a chickpea harvesting header
Interest in the development of stripper headers is growing owing to the excessive losses of combine harvesters and costs of manually harvesting for chickpeas.The design of a new concept can enhance the mechanized process for chickpea harvesting.A modified stripper platform was designed, in which passive fingers with V-shape slots removes the pods f
Key auxin response factor (ARF) genes constraining wheat tillering of mutant dmc
Tillering ability is a key agronomy trait for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production.Studies on a dwarf monoculm wheat mutant (dmc) showed that ARF11 played an important role in tillering of wheat.In this study, a total of 67 ARF family members Reclosable Bags were identified and clustered to two main classes with four subgroups based on their pro
Expanding the Biological Role of Lipo-Chitooligosaccharides and Chitooligosaccharides in Laccaria bicolor Growth and Development
The role of lipo-chitooligosaccharides (LCOs) as signaling molecules that mediate the establishment of symbiotic relationships between fungi and plants is being redefined.New evidence suggests that the production of these molecular signals may be more of a common trait in fungi than Chandelier what was previously thought.LCOs affect different aspec
