FUSARIUM OXYSPORUM STRAINS AS BIOCONTROL AGENTS AGAINST FUSARIUM WILT: EFFECTS ON SOIL MICROBIAL BIOMASS AND ACTIVITY

Fusarium oxysporum strains as biocontrol agents against Fusarium wilt: effects on soil microbial biomass and activity

Before planning the large-scale use of nonpathogenic strains of Fusarium oxysporum as biocontrol agents of Fusarium wilt, their behaviour and potential impact on soil ecosystems should be carefully studied as part of risk assessment.The aim of this work was to evaluate the effects of antagonistic F.oxysporum strains, genetically manipulated (T26/6)

A Layered Control Architecture of Sleep and Arousal

Sleep and wakefulness are promoted not by a single neural pathway but via wake or sleep-promoting nodes distributed across layers of the brain.We equate each layer with a brain region in proposing a layered subsumption model for arousal based on a computational architecture.Beyond the brainstem the layers include the diencephalon (hypothalamus, tha

An enigma: A meta-analysis reveals the effect of ubiquitous microplastics on different taxa in aquatic systems

Microplastics are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems globally, with tropical freshwater systems underrepresented in the literature.The ubiquity of microplastics may affect the feeding, growth, reproduction, and survival of organisms in aquatic systems; however, the data on the potential effects of microplastics on aquatic organisms is tentative.In th
