HOW TEMPERATURES MAY AFFECT THE SYNTHESIS OF FATTY ACIDS DURING OLIVE FRUIT RIPENING: GENES AT WORK IN THE FIELD

How Temperatures May Affect the Synthesis of Fatty Acids during Olive Fruit Ripening: Genes at Work in the Field

A major concern for olive cultivation in many extra-Mediterranean regions is the adaptation of recently introduced cultivars to environmental conditions different from those prevailing in the original area, such as the Mediterranean basin.Some of these cultivars can easily adapt their physiological and biochemical parameters in new agro-environment

Habitat use and movement patterns in the endangered ground beetle species, Carabus olympiae (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

One of the most compelling challenges for conservation biologists is the preservation of species with restricted ranges.Carabus olympiae Sella, 1855, a ground beetle species inhabiting two small areas in the western Italian Alps, is an example of a steno-endemic and endangered insect species.Despite the fact that this species is historically well k

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2 deletion attenuates polyhexamethylene guanidine-induced lung injury in mice

Inhalation of polyhexamethylene guanidine phosphate (PHMG) can cause pulmonary fibrosis.Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidases (Nox) are enzymes that produce reactive oxygen species, Coffee which may be involved in tissue damage in various lung diseases.To investigate whether the Nox2 isoform of Nox is involved in the progress
