Abstract The cell/microenvironment interface is the starting point of integrin-mediated mechanotransduction, but many details of mechanotransductive signal integration remain elusive due to the complexity of the involved (extra)cellular structures, such as the glycocalyx.We used nano-bio-interfaces reproducing the complex nanotopographical features
Effects of Humic Acid on the Germination Traits of Pumpkin Seeds under Cadmium Stress
The study tackled the effect of humic acid and cadmium concentrations on the pumpkin seed germination characteristics throughout were studied.Treatments were cadmium concentrations on three levels: 0, 100 and 200 ppm and humic acid concentration of 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg lit-1.Results showed that interaction of humic acid and cadmium was not s

Insecticidal and growth inhibitory activity of gut microbes isolated from adults of Spodoptera litura (Fab.)
Abstract Background Spodoptera litura (Fab.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) commonly known as tobacco caterpillar is a polyphagous pest that causes significant damage to many agricultural crops.The extensive use of chemical insecticides against S.litura has resulted in development of resistance.In order to find potential biocontrol agents, gut microbes w
Genome and Transcriptome of Clostridium phytofermentans, Catalyst for the Direct Conversion of Plant Feedstocks to Fuels.
Clostridium phytofermentans was isolated from forest soil and is distinguished by its capacity to directly ferment plant cell wall polysaccharides into ethanol as the primary product, suggesting that it possesses unusual catabolic pathways.The objective of the present study was to understand Food Labeling Stickers the molecular mechanisms of biomas
