Division of labour between dimorphic stamens in Melastoma candidum (Melastomataceae): Role of stamen strength in the biomechanics of pollination

The division of labour hypothesis suggests that plants exhibiting heteranthery utilise different Dice Accessories stamen types for distinct purposes; feeding stamens provide pollen as a reward for pollinators, whereas pollinating stamens ensure successful reproduction.However, the biomechanical factors that influence pollinator behaviour in relatio

Efecto de la comunidad bacteriana en el crecimiento, pigmentos y toxinas paralizantes en el dinoflagelado Gymnodinium catenatum (Graham)

Gymnodinium catenatum, un dinoflagelado productor de toxinas paralizantes, es una de las especies de dinoflagelados más estudiadas, sin embargo, poco se conoce sobre sus interacciones con bacterias.En este estudio se determinó el efecto de un consorcio bacteriano en cepas de G.catenatum.Se emplearon 4 cepas de G.catenatum aisladas de Bahía de Sa

AAV5-mediated manipulation of insulin expression in choroid plexus has long-term metabolic and behavioral consequences

Summary: The choroid plexus (CP) is a source of trophic factors for the developing and mature brain.Insulin is produced in epithelial cells of the CP (EChPs), and its secretion is stimulated by Htr2c-mediated signaling.We modulated Art Print insulin expression in EChPs with intracerebroventricular injections of AAV5.Insulin overexpression in CP dec
