Impacts of land use and cover changes on ecosystem service values from 1992 to 2052 in Gena District, Southwest Ethiopia

Land use and cover changes alter the functions and structures of ecosystem, resulting in variations in Ecosystem Service Values (ESVs). Thus, we examined the impacts of land use/land cover (LULC) changes on ESVs from 1992 to 2052 using geos...

Identifying strawberry DOF family transcription factors and their expressions in response to crown rot

Crown rot is one of the most destructive diseases of cultivated strawberry. The DOF family transcription factors, which involved in biotic stress, has not been studied in responding to strawberry crown rot. In this study, the DOFs of Fragar...

Inhibition of Citrus Huanglongbing Disease by <i>Paenibacillus polymyx</i> KN-03 and Analysis with Transcriptome and Microflora

Soil drench treatment using Paenibacillus polymyxa strain KN-03 was applied to citrus plants infected with Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). The infection status was assessed using PCR and a real-time quantitative PCR detection syst...

Medico-Legal Applications of the Human Microbiome and Critical Issues Due to Environmental Transfer: A Review

Microbiome has recently seen an increase in its forensic applications. It could be employed to identify a suspect when DNA is not available; it can be used to establish postmortem interval (PMI). Furthermore, it could prove to be fundamenta...

Corrigendum: The Potential Roles of Very Low Calorie, Very Low Calorie Ketogenic Diets and Very Low Carbohydrate Diets on the Gut Microbiota Composition

Lipofuscin: Wear Pigment or Alarm Signal for Cardiac AlloGraft Vasculopathy?

Background: CAV (cardiac allograft vasculopathy) is considered the leading cause of late post-transplant mortality and affects approximately 50% of transplant patients at 10 years post-transplant. Its etiopathogenetic mechanism is considere...

Does wet-cupping therapy improve repeated sprint ability, perceived wellness, and rating of perceived exertion in young active males?

Wet-cupping therapy (WCT) is one of the oldest known medical techniques, used as a traditional and complementary therapy with a wide application all around the world for general health. Research on the effects of WCT on sports performance a...

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Radiology is the application of the science of diagnostic imaging to questions of clinical and medicolegal practice. Forensic medicine refers to the application of medical knowledge in the collection of medical evidence...

Genome-based development of 15 microsatellite markers in fluorescent multiplexes for parentage testing in captive tigers

As one of the most endangered species, tiger (Panthera tigris) inbreeding has become an urgent issue to address. Using a microsatellite (short tandem repeat, STR) identification system, paternity testing may be helpful to avoid inbreeding i...

Bacterial Succession in Microbial Biofilm as a Potential Indicator for Postmortem Submersion Interval Estimation

Bacteria acts as the main decomposer during the process of biodegradation by microbial communities in the ecosystem. Numerous studies have revealed the bacterial succession patterns during carcass decomposition in the terrestrial setting. T...

Cadmium sulfide-induced toxicity in the cortex and cerebellum: In vitro and in vivo studies

Living organisms have an innate ability to regulate the synthesis of inorganic materials, such as bones and teeth in humans. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) can be utilized as a quantum dot that functions as a unique light-emitting semiconductor nano...
