Promoting native trees in shade coffee plantations of southern India: comparison of growth rates with the exotic Grevillea robusta by Nath, C.D., Pelissier, R., Ramesh, B.R., García, C.A.

“…In order to identify and recommend native timber trees with fast growth rates, we compared the growth performance of four common native species against that of G. robusta, by tting steel dendrometer bands on 332 shade trees. Results showed that in general G. robusta had the fastest growth rates, but large trees of the native Acrocarpus fraxinifolius had faster growth in the wet western side of the district. …”

Molecular identification of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides causing yam anthracnose in Nigeria by Abang, Mathew M., Winter, S., Green, K., Hoffmann, P., Mignouna, H., Wolf, G.

“…On ITS PCR and enzymatic digestion of PCR products, all FGS, FGO and SGG isolates produced RFLP patterns identical to those of C. gloeosporioides reference isolates, while FGG isolates revealed unique ITS RFLP banding patterns. Sequence analysis of the ITS1 region and of the entire ITS region revealed that SGG, FGS and FGO isolates were highly similar (98–99% nucleotide identity) and showed 97–100% identity to C. gloeosporioides. …”

Improving credibility and transparency of conservation impact evaluations through the partial identification approach by McConnachie, M.M., Romero, C., Ferraro, P.J., Wilgen, B.W. van

“…We applied this approach and compared it with conventional approaches by estimating the impact of a conservation program that removed invasive trees in part of the Cape Floristic Region. Even when we used our largest PI impact estimate, the program's control costs were 1.4 times higher than previously estimated. …”

Remotely Sensed Spatiotemporal Variation in Crude Protein of Shortgrass Steppe Forage by Irisarri, Jorge Gonzalo Nicolás, Durante, Martin, Derner, Justin D., Oesterheld, Martin, Augustine, David J.

“…In a set of shortgrass steppe paddocks with contrasting botanical composition, we (1) modeled the spatiotemporal variation in field estimates of CP content against seven spectral MODIS bands, and (2) used the model to assess the risk of reaching the 8% CP content threshold during the grazing season for paddocks with light, moderate, or heavy grazing intensities for the last 22 years (2000–2021). …”

Hortalizas injertadas. Una alternativa que contribuye a la producción sustentable

“…“Tierra Sana” es un proyecto llevado adelante por el INTA junto con la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo Industrial (ONUDI), que se originó cuando la Argentina adhirió al tratado internacional denominado “Protocolo de Montreal” y se comprometió, junto con más de 180 países, a reemplazar las sustancias que dañan la capa de ozono. Entre dichas sustancias se encuentra el bromuro de metilo, utilizado tradicionalmente para el control de plagas presentes en los suelos y sustratos de cultivos intensivos. …”

Targeting Leishmania infantum Mannosyl-oligosaccharide glucosidase with natural products : potential pH-dependent inhibition explored through computer-aided drug design by Goyzueta-Mamani, Luis Daniel, Barazorda-Ccahuana, Haruna Luz, Candia-Puma, Mayron Antonio, Galdino, Alexsandro Sobreira, Machado-de-Avila, Ricardo Andrez, Giunchetti, Rodolfo Cordeiro, Medina-Franco, José L., Florin-Christensen, Mónica, Ferraz Coelho, Eduardo Antonio, Chavez Fumagalli, Miguel Angel

“…For this reason, based on previous research, we screened natural products (NP) from Nuclei of Bioassays, Ecophysiology, and Biosynthesis of Natural Products Database (NuBBEDB), Mexican Compound Database of Natural Products (BIOFACQUIM), and Peruvian Natural Products Database (PeruNPDB) databases, in addition to structural analogs of Miglitol and Acarbose, which have been suggested as treatments for VL and have shown encouraging action against parasite’s N-glycan biosynthesis. Using computer-aided drug design (CADD) approaches, the potential inhibitory effect of these NP candidates was evaluated by inhibiting the Mannosyl-oligosaccharide Glucosidase Protein (MOGS) from Leishmania infantum, an enzyme essential for the protein glycosylation process, at various pH to mimic the parasite’s changing environment. …”
