Dispersal of Sensu Lato Conidia from Infected Citrus and Strawberry Under Simulated Rainfall and Different Laminar and Turbulent Wind Speeds.

Species of the complex cause postbloom fruit drop of citrus and anthracnose fruit rot of strawberries. produces acervuli in diseased citrus flowers and strawberry fruit, surviving asymptomatically on vegetative tissues. Previous studies have suggested that dispersal mechanisms other than windblown rain may be involved in dispersal of conidia of sensu lato.

No effect of grape juice on exercise-induced muscle damage or performance in male runners: a randomized, placebo-controlled, triple-blind clinical trial.

This study aimed to verify the effect of grape juice () intake on exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and exercise performance parameters (5 km running time-trial (TT), running economy, and countermovement jump (CMJ)). Twenty trained male runners were randomized into two blinded groups and consumed either placebo ( = 9) or grape juice ( = 11) for six consecutive days (600 mL/day). On the fourth day, the participants performed a downhill running (-15%) at speed that elicited 70% V̇Omax for 20 min, to induce muscle damage, followed by assessment of running economy, 5 km TT, and CMJ tests.

Effect of fumigants on inoculum of spp. in strawberry crowns and soil.

Florida's strawberry industry has been facing an emerging threat after several outbreaks of an aggressive sp. affecting fruit, leaf, and crown caused severe yield losses. Our studies found sp.

Polyethylene Glycol-Based Hydrogel as a 3D Extracellular Matrix Mimic for Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes.

Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro models enable us to understand cell behavior that is a better reflection of what occurs in vivo than 2D in vitro models. As a result, developing 3D models for extracellular matrix (ECM) has been growing exponentially. Most of the efforts for these 3D models are geared toward understanding cancer cells.
