Small scale distribution of insect root herbivores may promote plant species diversity by creating patches of different herbivore pressure.However, determinants of small scale distribution of insect root herbivores, and impact of land use intensity on their small scale distribution are largely unknown.We sampled insect root herbivores and measured
This study was performed to reveal phenotypic characters and identity of symbiont bacteria of Nasutitermes as well as investigate their potential as antagonist of plant pathogenic fungi.Isolation of the symbiont bacteria was carried out from inside the heads and the bodies of soldier and worker termite which were collected from 3 locations of nests
BACKGROUND: Although the human genome database has been completed a decade ago, approximately 50% of the proteome remains hypothetical as their functions are unknown.The elucidation of the functions of these hypothetical proteins can lead to additional protein pathways and revelation of new cascades.However, many of these inferences are limited to
The isolation of high Novelties yield and quality genomic DNA is crucial for studying the molecular genetics of plants.However, high contents of secondary metabolites, especially in medicinal and aromatic plants, interfere with the extraction of clean DNA, thereby rendering it useless for downstream analyses such as DNA amplification, restriction,
Current cognitive models of MAX OUT addiction imply that speeded detection and increased distraction from substance cues might both independently contribute to the persistence of addictive behavior.Speeded detection might lower the threshold for experiencing craving, whereas increased distraction might further increase the probability of entering a
