EVOLUTIONARY HISTORY OF TALL FESCUE MORPHOTYPES INFERRED FROM MOLECULAR PHYLOGENETICS OF THE LOLIUM-FESTUCA SPECIES COMPLEX

Evolutionary history of tall fescue morphotypes inferred from molecular phylogenetics of the Lolium-Festuca species complex

Abstract Background The agriculturally important pasture grass tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.syn.Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) Darbysh.) is an outbreeding allohexaploid, that may be more accurately described as a species complex consisting of three major (Continental, Mediterranean and rhizomatous) Seating morphotypes.Observation of hybri

Melatonin Treatment in Kidney Diseases

Melatonin is a neurohormone that is mainly secreted by the pineal gland.It coordinates the work of the superior biological clock and consequently affects many processes in the human body.Disorders of the waking and sleeping period result in nervous system imbalance and generate metabolic and endocrine derangements.The purpose of this review is to p

THE VEGETATION TRENDS AND DRIVERS IN BEIJING-TIANJING-HEIBEI REGION FROM 1982 TO 2013 BASED ON TIME SERIES GIMMS NDVI3g

Vegetation plays a leading role in ecosystems.Plant communities are the main components of ecosystems.Green plants in ecosystems are the primary producers, and they provide the living organic matter for the survival of other organisms.The dynamics of most landscapes are driven by both natural processes and human activities.In this study, the growin

Franchising As Hybrid Organization: Russian Skill

Russia has favorable conditions for development of hybrid cooperation (franchising) on the different markets.On the one hand, as well as for the majority of countries with transition economies many Russian markets has been undersaturated.On the other hand, as for the developed countries, Russia has highly skilled human resources and the developed s

Butyric Acid Added Apically to Intestinal Caco-2 Cells Elevates Hepatic ApoA-I Transcription and Rescues Lower ApoA-I Expression in Inflamed HepG2 Cells Co-Cultured in the Basolateral Compartment

Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) concentrations are decreased during inflammation, which may reduce high-density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality.Thus, rescuing ApoA-I concentrations during inflammation might help to prevent atherosclerosis.Recent studies have shown that butyric acid (C4) has anti-inflammatory effects and rescues ApoA-I production.Howeve
