Full-Length ITS Amplicon Sequencing Resolves Species in Surface Waters Used for Orchard Irrigation in California's San Joaquin Valley.

Diverse species, including many important plant pathogens, have been widely detected among surface water irrigation sources. In the past decade, metabarcoding has been used to characterize waterborne populations. Metabarcoding typically involves amplification of portions of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITSs) ITS1 or ITS2 from species, followed by indexed high-throughput sequencing.

Children and exercise.

Background: Exercise is widely understood to improve health outcomes in children and adolescents and to contribute to the prevention and management of many chronic conditions. Australian children are not currently meeting the recommended physical activity guidelines, and these habits are likely to extend into adulthood without intervention.

Objective: The aim of this paper is to provide general practitioners (GPs) with the tools to perform a basic exercise assessment with children and adolescents and an understanding of the core principles of exercise prescription for general and special paediatric populations.

Transcriptomic Evidence of a Link between Cell Wall Biogenesis, Pathogenesis, and Vigor in Walnut Root and Trunk Diseases.

Crown gall disease (), crown/root rot disease ( spp.), root lesion disease () and tree vigor are key traits affecting the productivity and quality of walnuts in California. Unchallenged hybrid rootstocks were analyzed by RNA-seq to examine pre-formed factors affecting these traits.

A Chinese help-seeking model for psychological distress in primary care: An adaptation of Andersen's Behavioral Model of Health Services Use.

Help-seeking for depression and anxiety disorders from primary care physicians in Western countries is at three times the rate of China. Western help-seeking models for common mental disorders have limitations in the Chinese settings. This article argues that an adapted model based on Andersen's Behavioral Model of Health Services Use could be an appropriate tool to better understand patients' help-seeking behaviors and improve outcomes.
