A new genus of malachiine Melyridae, , is described based on several male-specific characters, along with description of its type species, , from China. A new combination, (Champion, 1921), , is proposed after examining the type specimen; this species is newly recorded from China. A key to the genera of Chinese Apalochrini is provided for the first time.

Invertebrate iridescent virus 6 (IIV6) is the type species of the Iridovirus genus in the Betairidovirinae subfamily of the Iridoviridae family. Transcription of the 215 predicted IIV6 genes is temporally regulated, dividing the genes into three kinetic classes: immediate-early (IE), delayed-early (DE), and late (L). So far, the transcriptional class has been determined for a selection of virion protein genes and only for three genes the potential promoter regions have been analyzed in detail.

Echinococcosis is a zoonotic infection caused by cestode species of the genus Echinococcus, with limited treatment options. It is urgent to develop new anti-hydatid agent. In this paper, we reported anacardic acid (AA), a natural product isolated from the Brazilian cashew-nut shell liquid, which presented a high activity against metacestodes of Echinococcus multilocularis (E.

45S rDNA external transcribed spacer organization reveals new phylogenetic relationships in Avena genus.

PLoS One

September 2017

Linking Landscape, Environment, Agriculture and Food (LEAF), Instituto Superior de Agronomia, Universidade de Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal.

The genus Avena comprises four distinct genomes organized in diploid (AA or CC), tetraploid (AABB or AACC) and hexaploid species (AACCDD), constituting an interesting model for phylogenetic analysis. The aim of this work was to characterize 45S rDNA intergenic spacer (IGS) variability in distinct species representative of Avena genome diversity-A. strigosa (AA), A.

Aim: To study the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of aristolochic acid (AA), a major active component of plants from the Aristolochiaceae family using microarray analysis.

Methods: Human kidney (HK-2) cells were treated with AA (0, 10, 30, and 90 micromol/L) for 24 h, and the cell viability was measured by a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. Complementary DNA microarrays were used to investigate the gene expression pattern of HK-2 cells exposed to AA in triplicate.
