The species of the genus Uloma Dejean, 1821 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) from two Malaysian regions i.e.Sabah and Selangor were explored.The diagnostic characteristics were figured and species key was provided for two newly recorded species including Wetbag U.sextuberosa (Kaszab, 1980) and U.excise (Gebien, 1913).The Sanding Accessories species typi
Research Progress in Coaxial Electrospinning for the Preparation of Multi-structure Nanofibers and Its Application in the Food Industry
Coaxial electrospinning is a new technology for the preparation of multi-structure nanofibers, with the Wetbag advantages of simple equipment operation, mild processing conditions and adjustable structure.This technology uses a direct current (DC) high voltage electrostatic field to continuously transform a variety of polymer solutions into multi-s
Micro-RNA-Regulated SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) Gene Expression and Cytokinin Accumulation Distinguish Early-Developing Male and Female Inflorescences in Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis)
Sexual differentiation of inflorescences and Pot Holder flowers is important for reproduction and affects crop plant productivity.We report here on a molecular study of the process of sexual differentiation in the immature inflorescence of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis).This species is monoecious and exhibits gender diphasy, producing male and female
A novel approach to simulate gene-environment interactions in complex diseases
Abstract Background Complex diseases are multifactorial traits caused by both genetic and environmental factors.They represent the major part of human diseases and include those with largest prevalence and mortality (cancer, heart disease, obesity, etc.).Despite a large amount of information that has been collected about both genetic and environmen
