Article Synopsis
- Anastrepha obliqua, the West Indian fruit fly, is a major agricultural pest affecting over 60 plant species across a range from northern Mexico to southern Brazil, including the Caribbean.
- Molecular analysis of mitochondrial DNA from 153 specimens in various Brazilian biomes revealed weak genetic structure among the populations, suggesting a close genetic relationship with previously studied Caribbean populations.
- The study proposes a historical migration pattern from west to east in Brazil, explaining the high genetic diversity in the Amazon Forest compared to lower diversity in other regions.
Sesquiterpene lactones are the active components of a variety of medicinal plants from the Asteraceae family. They possess biological activities such as the inhibition of NF-kappaB and the release inhibition of the vasoactive serotonin. On the basis of a data set of 54 SLs, we report the development of a quantitative model for the prediction of serotonin release inhibition.
