Reducing the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 30 Dec 2024 · 5,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Genomics of Xylella fastidiosa Subsp. Pauca and Insights on its Current and Potential Movements in EcuadorCarlos Bolanos-Carriel, Eliana Granja Guerra, Jaris Veneros et al.Xylella fastidiosa subsp. Pauca causes Coffee Leaf Scorch (CLS). It is a major threat to coffee production in most South and Central American countries. X. fastidiosa is prone to intersubspecific recombination, and it is believed that this species became pathogenic in citrus and coffee due to recent mutation events and gene flow between closely related strains. CLS epidemics have not … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 1 · 23 Nov 2024 · 6,176 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGadolinium at Low Concentration Suppresses both Osteoclastic and Osteoblastic Activities in the Scales of GoldfishNobuo Suzuki, Kazuki Watanabe, Aika Sekimoto et al.For determining the effect of environmental pollutants on fish bone metabolism, we have developed an in vitro bioassay system using teleost scales that has osteoclasts, osteoblasts and bone matrix as markers: alkaline phosphatase (ALP) for osteoblasts and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) for osteoclasts. Using this bioassay, the influence of gadolinium (Gd) on osteoclasts and osteoblasts of goldfish scales was examined … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 20 Sep 2019 · 8,457 accessesView PDFCite
