In Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, removing the germline precursor cells increases lifespan.In worms, and possibly also in flies, this lifespan extension requires the presence of somatic reproductive tissues.How the somatic gonad signals other tissues to increase lifespan is not known.The lifespan increase triggered by loss of t
IntroductionSpillover events of Mycoplasma Wax Jackets ovipneumoniae have devastating effects on the wild sheep populations.Multilocus sequence typing (MLST) is used to monitor spillover events and the spread of M.ovipneumoniae between the sheep populations.Most studies involving the typing of M.ovipneumoniae have used Sanger sequencing.However, th
Diseases and health complications caused by mineral deficiencies afflict billions of people globally.Developing pulse crops with elevated seed mineral concentrations can contribute to reducing the incidence of these deficiencies.The objectives of this study were to estimate variance components conditioning seed mineral concentrations of chickpea an
The fitness of eventing horses was assessed in field tests through the use of heart and respiratory rates and blood biochemical parameters.The first stage (S1) lasted three days and consisted of the following three tests: the incremental speed test (IST), the incremental jumping test (IJT), and the jumping course (JC).Following the first stage, hor
Aging and poor maintenance of wastewater treatment works affect the wastewater quality and quantity.The focus of this experimental study was to identify appropriate grass which can be used for wastewater treatment in constructed wetlands.Vetiver grass (Chrysopogon zizanioides), Lemon grass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) and elephant grass (Pennisetum purpu
