Specific TaqMan probed real-time quantitative RT-PCR methods and their application to differentiate the transcripts of duplicated BF or BLB genes in chicken MHC by Cai-Xia Gao, Lingxia Han, Liandong Qu, Yu-Zhu Luo, Han Jianlin

“…BF and BLB genes of chicken major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are responsible for classical antigen processing and presentation; therefore they play a central role in determining the genetic resistance or susceptibility of different MHC haplotypes to some infectious diseases. …”

A balancing act: how plants integrate nitrogen and water signals by Araus, Viviana, Swift, Joseph, Alvarez, Jose M., Henry, Amelia, Coruzzi, Gloria M.

“…The purpose of this review is to shed light on what is currently known about how plant responses to N are impacted by W status. We review classic studies which detail how N and W combinations have both synergistic and antagonistic effects on key plant traits, such as root architecture and stomatal aperture. …”

Carotenoid composition and sequestration in cassava (Manihot esculentum Crantz) roots by Drapal, Margit, Ovalle Rivera, Tatiana Melissa, Becerra Lopez Lavalle, Luis Augusto, Fraser, Paul D.

“…Proteomic analysis confirmed these structures apart from plastoglobuli, thus potentially amyloplast structures may not contain classical plastoglobuli structures.…”

Genetic mapping of a dominant gene conferring resistance to cassava mosaic disease by Akano, A.O., Dixon, Alfred G.O., Mba, C, Barrera Sabogal, E., Fregene, Martin A.

“…Recently, high levels of resistance were also found in several Nigerian cassava landraces. Classical genetic analysis and molecular genetic-mapping of the landraces showed that a major dominant gene confers this resistance. …”

Serological patterns of brucellosis, leptospirosis and Q fever in Bos indicus cattle in Cameroon by Scolamacchia, F., Handel, Ian G., Fèvre, Eric M., Morgan, K.L., Tanya, V.N., Bronsvoort, B.M. de C.

“…This study used banked sera from the Adamawa Region of Cameroon to investigate the seroprevalences and distributions of seropositive animals and herds. A classical statistical and a multi-level prevalence modelling approach were compared. …”

Morphological variation and reproductive incompatibility of three coconutmiteassociated populations of predatory mites identified as Neoseiulus paspalivorus ( Acari: Phytoseiidae) by Sourassou, N.F., Hanna, R., Zannou, I., Moraes, G. de, Negloh, K., Sabelis, M.W.

“…Predatory mites identified as Neoseiulus paspalivorus DeLeon (Phytoseiidae) have been considered as agents for classical biological control of the coconut mite, Aceria guerreronis Keifer (Eriophyidae), in Africa and elsewhere. …”

Countrywide distribution of fauna association with the cassva green mite (Mononychellus tanajoa) in Cameroon by Tchuanyo, M., Yaninek, John S., Hammond, W., Onzo, A., Lienou, L.

“…There is need to introduce exotic phytoseiids to control the M. tanajoa populations in Cameroon. A classical biological control program, combined with other compatible control methods such as cultural practices and host plant resistance, is recommended to combat this exotic pest in Cameroon.…”

Life history parameters and scale-cover surface area of Aonidiella aurantii are altered in a mating disruption environment: implications for biological control by Vanaclocha, Pilar, Vacas, Sandra, Alfaro, Cristina, Primo, Jaime, Verdú, María J., Navarro-Llopis, Vicente, Urbaneja, Alberto

“…CONCLUSION: A clear influence of airborne pheromone on the biology of CRS has been demonstrated. In addition to the classical mating disruption benefits of this technique, additional benefits, such as increase in the duration of exposure to natural enemies and increase in size, which benefits some species of parasitoids, have been confirmed. …”

The compromises of rewilding by Rouet-Leduc, Julia

“…The purpose of this thesis is to explore how rewilding has emerged as a new alternative to classic nature conservation to reconcile humans with wild nature. …”

A survey on the feeding of competition horses and perceptions of forage in the UK and Sweden by Hurtes, Auriane

“…Classical feeding practices of the performance horse have included the necessity for energydense concentrates that are rich in starch in order to meet its’ high energy requirements. …”

Whither Participation? Evaluating Participatory Policy Processes Using the CGPE Approach: The Case of CAADP in Malawi by Henning, Christian, Hedtrick, Johannes, Séne, Ligane Massamba, Krampe, Eva

“…Within the CGPE approach participation of stakeholder organizations is modeled in two ways. First, as classical lobbying influence and second as informational influence within a model of political belief formation. …”

Genome size and chromosome number variation in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) families and phenotypically contrasting Saccharum genotypes by Garcia, José María, Andrada, Aldo R., Erazzu, Luis Ernesto, Acevedo, Alberto

“…FCM-mediated DNA content estimates exhibited high accuracy in predicting chromosome numbers, offering a time-efficient alternative to classical cytogenetic procedure. Low-magnitude correlations detected between DNA content and phenotypic traits suggest that indirect selection of agronomic traits using FCM-mediated DNA content estimates may not be efficient. …”

Interaction of bovine viral diarrhea virus with bovine cumulus–oocyte complex during IVM: Detection in permissive cells by González Altamiranda, Erika Analía, Kaiser, German Gustavo, Rios, Glenda Laura, Leunda, Maria Rosa, Odeon, Anselmo Carlos

“…Based on these findings, it is concluded that the classical viral isolation procedure has a predictive value to detect BVDV associated with ZP-free oocytes and that it was novelty demonstrated that both washing and trypsin treatment of oocytes were ineffective to remove BVDV infection.…”

Biological control as the primary option in sustainable pest management: the cassava pest project by Herren, H.R.

“…Since then, the pests have spread over most of the cassava belt of Africa, threatening to destroy cassava, the staple food crop of some 200 million Africans. Classical biological control through the use of exotic natural enemies, provides the basis for an economically viable and environmentally sound solution. …”

Cryotherapy, breeding instrument, commercial stock deposit: Cryopreservation is more than a long term conservation tool for of plant genetic resources by Panis, Bart

“…Cryopreservation can, however, also be applied as a tool in classical as well as modern breeding initiatives. For example, for many adult trees (such as conifers) clonal propagation is only possible through somatic embryogenesis (starting from seeds). …”
