GENOME-WIDE IDENTIFICATION AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF CRK GENE FAMILY IN CUCUMBER (CUCUMIS SATIVUS L.) UNDER COLD STRESS AND SCLEROTIUM ROLFSII INFECTION

Abstract Background The plant cysteine-rich receptor-like kinases (CRKs) are a large family having multiple roles, including defense responses under both biotic and abiotic stress.However, the CRK family in cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.) has been explored to a limited extent.In this study, a genome-wide characterization of the CRK family has been p

The objective of this study is to evaluate the epidemiological situation of abortions on cattle and sheep herds and to identify some risk factors related to them.A descriptive analysis of 139 dairy cattle and 34 sheep farms showed that abortions affect 40.29% and 79.41% of cattle and Corner Chair sheep herds respectively; with an average abortion r

Most approved vaccines against COVID-19 have to be administered in a prime/boost regimen.We engineered a novel vaccine based on a chimeric human adenovirus 5 (hAdV5) vector.The vaccine (named CoroVaxG.3) is based on Mascara three pillars: (i) high expression of Spike to enhance its immunodominance by using a potent promoter and an mRNA stabilizer;

STEREO/PLASTIC determines three-dimensional distributions of solar wind iron ions with unprecedented time resolution.Typically 300 to 1000 counts are registered within each 5 min time interval.For the present study we use the Speciality Boxes information contained in these distributions to characterize CIRs (Corotating Interaction Regions) in two t

Sequencing taxonomic Lateral File marker genes is a powerful tool to interrogate the composition of microbial communities.For example, bacterial and fungal community composition can be evaluated in parallel using the 16S ribosomal RNA gene for bacteria or the internal transcribed spacer region in fungi.These are conserved regions that are universal
