External Morphology of Tagosodes orizicolus (Homoptera: Delphacidae) Revealed by Scanning Electron Microscopy
(2001)
A comprehensive analysis of the ultrastructure of the delphacid rice pest Tagosodes
orizicolus (Muir) was undertaken using scanning electron microscopy to resolve taxonomic problems in the distinction of females and nymphs ...
Quantitative genetic analysis of anxiety trait in bipolar disorder
(2017)
Background:Bipolar disorder type I (BPI) affects approximately 1% of the world population. Although geneticinfluences on bipolar disorder are well established, identification of genes that predispose to the illness has ...
Pollen Streptomyces Produce Antibiotic That Inhibits the Honey Bee Pathogen Paenibacillus larvae
(2021)
Humans use natural products to treat disease; similarly, some insects use natural products produced by Actinobacteria to combat infectious pathogens. Honey bees, Apis mellifera, are ecologically and economically important ...
Newly Discovered Natural Hosts of Tomato chlorosis virus in Costa Rica
(2011-04)
Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) is an emerging whitefly-transmitted crinivirus. In Costa Rica in 2007, ToCV was detected in field-grown and greenhouse tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) plants causing symptoms of severe yellowing ...
Rediscovering the value of families for psychiatric genetics research
(2018-06-28)
As it is likely that both common and rare genetic variation are important for complex disease risk, studies that examine the full range of the allelic frequency distribution should be utilized to dissect the genetic ...
Brain structure–function associations in multi-generational families genetically enriched for bipolar disorder
(2015-05)
Recent theories regarding the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder suggest contributions of both neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative processes. While structural neuroimaging studies indicate disease-associated ...
The influence of temperature and pH on bacterial community composition of microbial mats in hot springs from Costa Rica
(2019)
We used the 16S rRNA gene pyrosequencing approach to investigate the microbial diversity and community composition in several Costa Rican hot springs alongside the latitudinal axis of the country, with a range of temperatures ...
Novel Cyanobacterial Diversity Found in Costa Rican Thermal Springs Associated with Rincon de la Vieja and Miravalles Volcanoes: A Polyphasic Approach
(2020)
Central America is one of the most important biodiversity hot spots in the world, and Costa Rican microbial communities from thermal springs are the best characterized in the isthmus. Miravalles is an inactive quaternary ...
Búsqueda y caracterización de proteínas biopesticidas novedosas a partir de cepas de Bacillus thuringiensis
(1999)
En la actualidad se desarrollan y se cultivan comercialmente plantas transgénicas que expresan endotoxinas de Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) como biopesticida para el control específico de insectos. Sin embargo, se teme que ...
Draft Genome Sequences of Two Cyanobacteria Leptolyngbya spp. Isolated from Microbial Mats in Miravalles Thermal Spring, Costa Rica
(2021)
We report the draft genome sequences of Leptolyngbya sp. strain 7M and Leptolyngbya sp. strain 15MV, isolated from Miravalles Thermal Spring, Costa Rica. The thermophilic cyanobacteria exhibit unique diversity features ...
