ALTERNATION OF HOST PLANTS AS A SURVIVAL MECHANISM OF LEAFHOPPERS DILOBOPTERUS COSTALIMAI AND ONCOMETOPIA FACIALIS (HEMIPTERA: CICADELLIDAE), VECTORS OF THE CITRUS VARIEGATED CHLOROSIS (CVC)

Dilobopterus costalimai (Young) and Oncometopia facialis (Signoret) are two of the most important species of citrus leafhoppers, vectors of bacterium Xylella fastidiosa which causes the Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC) disease.To develop a rearing technique for these species under laboratory conditions, the egg laying preference and nymph developm

Globally, textile industries play an important role in the economy of many countries.A huge volume of water is consumed in the various processes of dyeing fabrics and the majority of this is discharged with heavy loads of pollutants into the environment.The present study assessed the physicochemical characteristics of textile effluents from differe

Summary: Abscisic acid (ABA) promotes post-germination growth arrest (PGGA), thereby enhancing plant survival under adverse conditions such as high salinity.Lipid droplets (LDs) are universally conserved dynamic organelles that can store and mobilize neutral lipids for their multiple cellular roles.The molecular mechanism short shifter rsx whereby

We investigate the flow of brine-enriched shelf water from Storfjorden (Svalbard) into Fram Strait and onto the western Svalbard Shelf using a regional set-up of NEMO-SHELF, a 3-D numerical ocean circulation model.The model is set up with realistic bathymetry, persol 3195 atmospheric forcing, open boundary conditions and tides.The model has 3 km ho

Abstract We start with role-based trust management (RBTM) and address some of the challenges associated with using RBTM in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs).We then enhance RBTM with reputation systems (RSs), and propose a new hybrid trust management system (HTMS).In HTMS, the privilege level of umpqua u series hooks an entity is determined not only
