To investigate whether sex chromosome complement modulates bradycardic baroreflex response and contributes to the angiotensin II– bradycardic baroreflex sex differences, we used the four core genotype mouse model in which ...

This study aimed to define whether sex chromosome complement (SCC) may differentially modulate sex differences in relative gene expression of basal Agtr1a, Agtr2, and Mas1 receptors at fore/hindbrain nuclei and at ...

Core collections contribute to make conservation expenses more efficient and facilitate a better utilization of accessions in breeding programs. Eighty-five accessions from the working collection of Pisum germplasm belonging ...

In this study, we evaluated the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotype distribution and HBV genomic mutations among a group of human immunodeficiency virus-HBV co-infected patients from an AIDS outpatient clinic in São Paulo. ...

Modelling and limited data suggest that crops with deeper and longer roots capture more soil resources and yield more when water is available deeper in soil profiles. Interest has grown in the development of new cultivars ...

Cercospora leaf blight (CLB) causes extensive losses in soybean production in worldwide, including major soybean-producing countries such as Argentina. Cercospora kikuchii, C. cf. sigesbeckiae, C. cf. flagellaris, and C. ...

Although pioneer studies showed several decades ago that deep rooting is common in tropical forests, direct measurements of fine root distributions over the entire soil profile explored by the roots are still scarce. Our ...

In a breeding program, several factors influence the selection of cultivars, mainly due to the high number of genotypes under evaluation and the reduced experimental capacity in the initial phases of the program. In this ...

Aechmea subgenus Ortgiesia comprises ca. 20 species distributed in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, and Uruguay, with a center of diversity in the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest. We examined interspecific relationships of ...
