A MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE GENE (MGV1) IN FUSARIUM GRAMINEARUM IS REQUIRED FOR FEMALE FERTILITY, HETEROKARYON FORMATION, AND PLANT INFECTION

A Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Gene (MGV1) in Fusarium graminearum Is Required for Female Fertility, Heterokaryon Formation, and Plant Infection

Fusarium graminearum is an important pathogen of small grains and maize in many areas of the world.Infected grains are often contaminated with mycotoxins harmful to humans and animals.During the past decade, F.graminearum has caused several severe epidemics of head scab in wheat and barley.In order to understand molecular mechanisms regulating fung

Casein Phosphopeptide-Amorphous Calcium Phosphate Reduces Streptococcus mutans Biofilm Development on Glass Ionomer Cement and Disrupts Established Biofilms.

Glass Shelf Support ionomer cements (GIC) are dental restorative materials that are suitable for modification to help prevent dental plaque (biofilm) formation.The aim of this study was to determine the effects of incorporating casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) into a GIC on the colonisation and establishment of Streptococ

Reproductive aspects of marine cladocerans Penilia avirostris and Pseudevadne tergestina (Crustacea, Branchiopoda) in the outer part of Guanabara Bay, Brazil

The objective of this study was to report on BLOW some aspects of marine cladoceran reproduction in Guanabara Bay.Samples were collected during 1985 using a conical net with 200 mm mesh.Two species were identified: Penilia avirostris and Pseudevadne tergestina.Both species disappeared from the plankton in winter.Two months before this phenomenon, p
