The legume species Sesbania virgata establishes a specific and efficient symbiosis with Azorhizobium doebereinerae. Previous studies have shown that A. doebereinerae occurrence correlates to the presence of S. virgata. This work aimed to evaluate the occurrence of A. doebereinerae and of other nitrogen-fixing Leguminosae-nodulating bacteria (NFLNB) in soil samples collected adjacent to and 10 m away from the stems of five S. virgata plants in pasture areas. Symbiotic characteristics of isolates from ...

A series of porous copolymer beads based on methacrylamide (MA), styrene and divinylbenzene (DVB) was prepared by aqueous suspension polymerization in the presence of diluents to act as precipitants. As MA is totally soluble into aqueous phase, the use of two types of phase transfer agent was investigated, namely: TritonX-100TM [polyoxyethylene-(10)-isooctylphenyl-ether] and tetrabutylammonium perchlorate. The effect of the diluents on the surface appearance and the porous structure of copolymer beads ...

According to current models of peroxisomal biogenesis, Pex5p cycles between the cytosol and the peroxisome transporting newly synthesized proteins to the organelle matrix. However, little is known regarding the mechanism of this pathway. Here, we show that Pex5p enters and exits the peroxisomal compartment in a process that requires ATP. Insertion of Pex5p into the peroxisomal membrane is blocked by anti-Pex14p IgGs. At the peroxisomal level, two Pex14p-associated populations of Pex5p could be resolved, ...

It is now generally accepted that Pex5p, the receptor for most peroxisomal matrix proteins, cycles between the cytosol and the peroxisomal compartment. According to current models of peroxisomal biogenesis, this intracellular trafficking of Pex5p is coupled to the transport of newly synthesized peroxisomal proteins into the organelle matrix. However, direct evidence supporting this hypothesis was never provided. Here, using an in vitro peroxisomal import system, we show that insertion of Pex5p into ...

The stable incidence of new leprosy cases suggests that transmission of infection continues despite worldwide implementation of MDT. Thus, specific tools are needed to diagnose early stage Mycobacterium leprae infection, the likely sources of transmission. M. leprae antigens that induce T-cell responses in M. leprae exposed and/or infected individuals thus are major targets for new diagnostic tools. Previously, we showed that ML1601c was immunogenic in patients and healthy household contacts (HHC). ...

Peroxisomal matrix proteins are synthesized on free cytosolic ribosomes and posttranslationally imported into the organelle. Translocation of these newly synthesized proteins across the peroxisomal membrane requires the concerted action of many different proteins, the majority of which were already identified. However, not much is known regarding the mechanism, of protein translocation across this membrane system. Here, we discuss recent mechanistic and structural data. These results point to a ...

Resistant lines can be identified by marker-assisted selection(MAS), based on alleles of genetic markers linked to the resistance trait. This reduces the number of phenotypically evaluated lines, one of the limitations in the development of cultivars with resistance to soybean cyst nematode (SCN).This study evaluated the efficiency of microsatellites near quantitative traitloci (QTL) for SCN resistance, in the linkage groups (LG) G and A2 of soybean, for the selection of resistant genotypes in populations ...

Many previous studies have shown that soybean WRKY transcription factors are involved in the plant response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Phakopsora pachyrhizi is the causal agent of Asian Soybean Rust, one of the most important soybean diseases. There are evidences that WRKYs are involved in the resistance of some soybean genotypes against that fungus. The number of WRKY genes already annotated in soybean genome was underrepresented. In the present study, a genome-wide annotation of the soybean ...

In this work, high-resolution continuum source graphite furnace molecular absorption spectrometry (HR-CS GF MAS) using AlCl, InCl, and SrCl molecules was proposed for direct Cl determination in crude oil. Crude oil analysis was performed by pipetting masses of crude oil directly on the graphite platform. Calibration was performed using aqueous standard solutions containing chlorine. A solution containing Sr2+ ions should be used to increase the sensitivity for AlCl and InCl molecules. For SrCl, only ...

Groins interfere with coastal dynamics and sediment transport, leading to sediments accumulation at the updrift side, while at downdrift, the erosive process is anticipated due to the lack of sediments. To improve numerical modeling capacity to simulate the groins impacts, it is necessary to totally understand the shoreline evolution along time and its relationship with the cross-shore profiles shape. The main goal of this work was to analyze and compare the performance of physical and numerical ...
