BackgroundSoil fungi face a variety of environmental stresses such as UV light, high temperature, and heavy metals.Adaptation of gene expression through transcriptional regulation is a key mechanism in fungal response to environmental stress.In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the transcription factors Msn2/4 induce stress-mediated gene expression by bind

ObjectivesPreoperative evaluation of potential living liver donors (PLLDs) includes the assessment of the biliary anatomy to avoid postoperative complications.Aim of this study was to compare T2-weighted (T2w) and Gd-EOB-DTPA enhanced T1-weighted (T1w) magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) techniques in the evaluation of PLLDs.Materials and meth

Animal life in caves has fascinated researchers and the public alike because of the unusual and sometimes bizarre morphological adaptations observed in numerous troglobitic species.Despite their worldwide diversity, the adaptations of cave millipedes (Diplopoda) to Internet Log Book a troglobitic lifestyle have rarely been examined.In this study, m

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are serious pests that affect fruit production and marketing.Both third instar larvae and pupae are biological stages that persist in the soil until adult emergence.Entomopathogenic nematodes (ENs) are biological control agents that are used to control agricultural pests in greenhouse or field conditions.Several s
