    Pitaya (Stenocereus stellatus) fruit growth is associated to wet season in Mexican dry tropic

    García-Suárez1 F, L Carreto-Montoya2, R Cárdenas-Navarro3, JC Díaz-Pérez4, R López-Gómez

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.76, pp. 19-26, 2007, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2007.76.019

    Abstract In this work we contribute to the knowledge of the reproductive phenology of Stenocereus stellatus (Pfeiffer,Riccobono), a columnar cactus that produces fruits of high commercial perspectives known as “pitayas”. This kind of pitayas are produced for local commercialization in back orchards in some regions of the Mexican dry tropics. These fruits are produced only in the apical part of the cactus “arms”. Our results show that fruit development of pitayas is highly associated to the rainy season of the year. This behavior is different from the reproductive strategy of other columnar cactus species that produce other kinds of pitaya in… More >

    Double-purpose wheat production and its association with a short-cycle wheat

    Lutz EE, HD Merchán, AE Morant*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.75, pp. 85-89, 2006, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2006.75.085

    Abstract Management of a double purpose wheat is not easy. Therefore, a simpler management alternative was studied: the mixture of two wheat varieties, one of long- cycle and the other one of short-cycle. Research was effected in the experimental field of the Asociación of Cooperativas Argentinas (38º 36´S, 61º 58´O and 122 m asl), 15 Km SW of Cabildo (Bs. As), in the semi-arid wheat subregion V S. At this place, forage and grain production of a suitable double-purpose wheat (ProINTA Pincén) was compared to its mixture with a short-cycle variety (Cooperación Calquín), either in the same or alternating rows.

    Floristic associations and filtering ability of riparian vegetation strips

    Giaccio GCM1, P Laterra2, F Cabria3

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.86, pp. 112-123, 2017, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2017.86.112

    Abstract The analysis of lateral flow runoff of superficial nutrients and sediments from an agricultural origin and their retention by infiltration of riparian vegetation strips are of great importance in reducing the agricultural externalities on surface water quality. The aim of this study was to relate soil infiltration to the main biophysical properties of riparian environments in the Pampa Austral of Argentina, defined by the composition of its plant community and the coverage of exotic species. We explored the relationships between hydraulic conductivity (Ks) and aboveground, litter and root biomasses, organic matter concentration, terrain slope, soil bulk density, texture and electrical… More >

    Cardiac ischemic preconditioning prevents dystrophin proteolysis by MMP-2 inhibition

    M. Rodríguez, B. Buchholz, V. D’Annuzio, M. Donato, G.E. González, M. A. Goyeneche, T. Mazo, V. Pérez, L. Wilensky, R.J. Gelpi*

    BIOCELL, Vol.40, No.1, pp. 43-46, 2016, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2016.40.043

    Abstract Dystrophin is a membrane-associated protein responsible for structural stability of the sarcolemma in cardiac myocytes and is very sensitive to ischemic damage. The goal of our study was to determine if ischemic preconditioning could prevent dystrophin breakdown through inhibition of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) activity. Isolated rabbit hearts were subjected to global ischemia with or without reperfusion in order to evaluate if dystrophin is preserved by ischemic preconditioning through MMP-2 inhibition. Ischemic preconditioning significantly reduced the infarct size induced by 30 min of ischemia and 180 min of reperfusion. Importantly, it also diminished dystrophin proteolysis and attenuated MMP-2 activity after 30… More >

    Effect of sugars on the association between cowpea vicilin (7S storage proteins) and fungal cells

    T.L. Rose*, V.M. Gomes*, M. Da Cunha**, K.V.S. Fernandes***, J. Xavier-Filho***

    BIOCELL, Vol.27, No.2, pp. 173-179, 2003, DOI:10.32604/biocell.2003.27.173

    Abstract Vicilins (7S storage proteins) found in various legume seeds have been previously shown to interfere with the germination of spores or conidia of phytopathogenic fungi and inhibit yeast growth and glucose stimulated acidification of the medium by yeast cells. In the present work vicilins from cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) seeds were added to the growth medium of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells and Fusarium oxysporum conidia. Helix pomatia lectin, wheat germ agglutinin and Ulex europaeus lectin were used to identify differences in the binding of the vicilins to the surface of cells of S. cerevisiae and F. oxysporum treated with this protein. After… More >

    SNES: Social-Network-Oriented Public Opinion Monitoring Platform Based on ElasticSearch

    Chuiju You1, Dongjie Zhu2,*, Yundong Sun2, Anshan Ye3, Gangshan Wu4, Ning Cao1, Jinming Qiu1, Helen Min Zhou5

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.61, No.3, pp. 1271-1283, 2019, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2019.06133

    Abstract With the rapid development of social network, public opinion monitoring based on social networks is becoming more and more important. Many platforms have achieved some success in public opinion monitoring. However, these platforms cannot perform well in scalability, fault tolerance, and real-time performance. In this paper, we propose a novel social-network-oriented public opinion monitoring platform based on ElasticSearch (SNES). Firstly, SNES integrates the module of distributed crawler cluster, which provides real-time social media data access. Secondly, SNES integrates ElasticSearch which can store and retrieve massive unstructured data in near real time. Finally, we design subscription module based on Apache Kafka… More >
