Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening, poses a severe threat to citrus production worldwide. The disease is caused by the bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (Las), which has been challenging to culture outside its host due to its intracellular nature and genome reduction. Huanglongbing (HLB), also known as citrus greening, poses a severe threat to citrus…
Cuticular waxes protect fruit by reducing water loss and influencing color. They are a mix of very-long-chain aliphatic and cyclic compounds, varying among fruit species. In blueberries, triterpenoids and β-diketones are most abundant. Cuticular waxes protect fruit by reducing water loss and influencing color. They are a mix of very-long-chain aliphatic and cyclic compounds, varying among…
In human populations, it is relatively easy to calculate demographic trends and make projections for the future if data on basic processes such as births and immigration is known. The data, given by individuals, can also include death and emigration, which subtract. In human populations, it is relatively easy to calculate demographic trends and make projections…
Many children of domestic homicide victims experience profound trauma with lifelong impact. Now new research shows there are limited support services available to help them process and navigate their grief.

Archaeologists have identified segments of a 64-km-long extinct branch of the river Nile, which they name the Ahramat Branch, running at the foothills of the Western Desert Plateau, where the majority of the ancient Egyptian pyramids lie. The post Majority of Egyptian Pyramids Was Built along Long-Lost Branch of Nile, Archaelogists Say appeared first on…
Cigarette smoke has been studied for years, revealing a multitude of contaminants, including toxic metals. But exactly which of those metals can be traced to secondhand or thirdhand smoke?
