Exploring new alleles involved in tomato fruit quality in an introgression line library of solanum pimpinellifolium
(2016-08-17)
We have studied a genomic library of introgression lines from the Solanum pimpinellifolium accession TO-937 into the genetic background of the “Moneymaker” cultivar in order to evaluate the accession’s breeding potential. ...
Straightforward High-Pressure Synthesis and Characterization of Indium-Based Thiospinels: Photocatalytic Potential for Hydrogen Production
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2016-04-04)
Ternary chalcogenides (AB2X4) based on the spinel structure are gaining a great deal of attention because of the possibility of tuning their magnetic and optoelectronic properties not only by changing chemical composition ...
Advanced glycation end products and strontium ranelate promote osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells in vitro: Preventive role of vitamin D
(Elsevier Ireland, 2017-07)
Advanced glycation end products (AGE) have been demonstrated to induce the osteogenic trans-differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC). Strontium ranelate (SR) is an anti-osteoporotic agent that has both ...
Strontium ranelate stimulates the activity of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase: interaction with Zn2+ and Mg2+
(Springer, 2014-04)
Strontium ranelate (SR) is an orally administered and bone-targeting anti-osteoporotic agent that increases osteoblast-mediated bone formation while decreasing osteoclastic bone resorption, and thus reduces the risk of ...
Evaluation of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Capacity to Alleviate Abiotic Stress of Olive (Olea europaea L.) Plants at Different Transplant Conditions
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014-02)
The capacity of roots to sense soil physicochemical parameters plays an essential role in maintaining plant nutritional and developmental functions under abiotic stress. These conditions generate reactive oxygen species ...
Intestinal water absorption varies with expected dietary water load among bats but does not drive paracellular nutrient absorption
(University of Chicago Press, 2015-11)
Rapid absorption and elimination of dietary water should be particularly important to flying species and were predicted to vary with the water content of the natural diet. Additionally, high water absorption capacity was ...
Need and Seek for Dietary Micronutrients: Endogenous Regulation, External Signalling and Food Sources of Carotenoids in New World Vultures
(Public Library Science, 2013-06-13)
Among birds, vultures show low concentrations of plasma carotenoids due to the combination of their large size, general dull colouration and a diet based on carrion. We recorded the concentration of each carotenoid type ...
Differential efficiency of two strains of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Rhizophagus irregularis on olive (Olea europaea) plants under two water regimes
(Springer, 2013-10)
The water regime affects a wide variety of physiological and biochemical processes in plants including an increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) capable of causing oxidative damage to proteins, DNA and lipids. ...
Opening of pannexin- and connexin-based channels increases the excitability of nodose ganglion sensory neurons
(2014)
Satellite glial cells (SGCs) are the main glia in sensory ganglia. They surround neuronal bodies and form a cap that prevents the formation of chemical or electrical synapses between neighboring neurons. SGCs have been ...
