Variations in the temperature sensitivity of spring leaf phenology from 1978 to 2014 in Mudanjiang, China
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
Continuous long-term temperature sensitivity (ST) of leaf unfolding date (LUD) and main impacting factors in spring in the period 1978–2014 for 40 plant species in Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang Province, Northeast China, were ...
In-vitro application of a qatari burkholderia cepacia strain (QBC03) in the biocontrol of mycotoxigenic fungi and in the reduction of ochratoxin a biosynthesis by aspergillus carbonarius
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by certain filamentous fungi, causing human and animal health issues upon the ingestion of contaminated food and feed. Among the safest approaches to the control of mycotoxigenic ...
Adsorptive removal of mercury from water by adsorbents derived from date pits
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2019 , Article)
The current work presented here focuses on the remediation of mercury from water using modified low-cost materials. Modified date pits, low cost, minimal pretreatment steps and locally abundant agricultural waste materials ...
Improving niche projections of plant species under climate change: Silene acaulis on the British Isles as a case study
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Empirical works to assist in choosing climatically relevant variables in the attempt to predict climate change impacts on plant species are limited. Further uncertainties arise in choice of an appropriate niche model. In ...
Protein arginine methyltransferase 5 (PRMT5) promotes survival of lymphoma cells via activation of WNT/B-catenin and AKT/GSK3B proliferative signaling
(
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Epigenetic regulation by the type II protein arginine methyltransferase, PRMT5, plays an essential role in the control of cancer cell proliferation and tumorigenesis. In this report, we investigate the relationship between ...
Evaluation of Apoptotic, Antiproliferative, and Antimigratory Activity of Origanum syriacum against Metastatic Colon Cancer Cells
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
The effect of an ethanolic extract of fresh leaves of Origanum syriacum (OSEE) on the proliferative, apoptotic, and migratory capacities of LoVo and SW620 colon cancer cells was investigated. OSEE showed a concentration-dependent ...
Evaluating the effect of antiscalants on membrane biofouling using FTIR and multivariate analysis
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
A combination of Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, multivariate analysis and conventional microbiological assays were utilized to characterize and differentiate membrane biofouling formed in the presence of ...
Evaluating the invasive plant, Prosopis juliflora in the two initial growth stages as a potential candidate for heavy metal phytostabilization in metalliferous soil
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Anthropogenic activities leads to increase in toxic metals in the environment. The toxicity of Cd, Cr and Pb to P. juliflora were tested in agar media; Seeds germinated in 25, 50 and 100 mg/L Pb; 5, 10 and 20 mg/ 10 L Cd; ...
Consequences of marine barriers for genetic diversity of the coral-specialist yellowbar angelfish from the Northwestern Indian Ocean
(
John Wiley and Sons Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Ocean circulation, geological history, geographic distance, and seascape heterogeneity play an important role in phylogeography of coral‐dependent fishes. Here, we investigate potential genetic population structure within ...
Hiding in the background: community-level patterns in invertebrate herbivory across the tundra biome
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Invertebrate herbivores depend on external temperature for growth and metabolism. Continued warming in tundra ecosystems is proposed to result in increased invertebrate herbivory. However, empirical data about how current ...
