Maintenance of this mutualism with bees is essential for the reproductive success in this economically valuable crop. In this ...
Despite recent intensive research efforts in functional genomics, the functions of only a limited number of Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) genes have been determined experimentally. Thus, improving gene annotation remains a major challenge in plant science. Because metabolite profiling can chara...
Transcriptome of three genotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana lateral nectaries from stage 14-15 flowering - one wild type, one pin-6 mutant, and one myb-57 mutant.
Animal African Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a debilitating livestock disease prevalent across sub-Saharan Africa, a main cause of which is the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma congolense. In comparison to the well-studied T. brucei, there is a major paucity of knowledge regarding the biology of T. congole...
BACKGROUND: Hepatic alveolar echinococcosis (HAE) is caused by the growth of Echinococcus multilocularis larvae in the liver. It is a chronic and potentially lethal parasitic disease. Early stage diagnosis for this disease is currently not available due to its long asymptomatic ...
