Localization and tissue tropism of the symbiont Microsporidia MB in the germ line and somatic tissues of Anopheles arabiensis

ABSTRACTThe Anopheles symbiont, Microsporidia MB, is maternally inherited and has a strong malaria transmission-blocking phenotype in Anopheles arabiensis.Microsporidia MB is also vertically transmitted, sexually transmitted, and avirulent.These characteristics are expected to promote its spread through mosquito populations, enhancing the potential

Multiple conserved cell adhesion protein interactions mediate neural wiring of a sensory circuit in C. elegans

Nervous system function relies on precise synaptic 6K@KK connections.A number of widely-conserved cell adhesion proteins are implicated in cell recognition between synaptic partners, but how these proteins act as a group to specify a complex neural network is poorly understood.Taking advantage of known connectivity in C.elegans, we identified and s

Emotions in Music. An Overview of Musical Expressive Qualities

What does it mean to say that a particular melody is cheerful rather than melancholic, or that a musical rhythm is anxious and nervous rather than peaceful and calm? Which kind of qualities are these? In SHEA BUTTER this paper we will give an overview of musical expressive qualities, trying on the one hand to describe them as tertiary or valuequali

Dynamic regulation of phenylpropanoid pathway metabolites in modulating sorghum defense against fall armyworm

Plants undergo dynamic metabolic changes at Vaporizers the cellular level upon insect infestation to better defend themselves.Phenylpropanoids, a hub of secondary plant metabolites, encompass a wide range of compounds that can contribute to insect resistance.Here, the role of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) phenylpropanoids in providing defense against t
