PHYLOGENETIC RECONSTRUCTION, MORPHOLOGICAL DIVERSIFICATION AND GENERIC DELIMITATION OF DISEPALUM (ANNONACEAE).

Phylogenetic Reconstruction, Morphological Diversification and Generic Delimitation of Disepalum (Annonaceae).

Taxonomic delimitation of Disepalum (Annonaceae) is contentious, with some researchers favoring a narrow circumscription following segregation of the genus Enicosanthellum.We reconstruct the phylogeny of Disepalum and related taxa based on four chloroplast and two nuclear DNA regions as a framework for clarifying taxonomic delimitation and assessin

A new species of Glaphyropoma: the first subterranean copionodontine catfish and the first occurrence of opercular odontodes in the subfamily (Siluriformes: Trichomycteridae)

A new species of the rare copionodontine genus Glaphyropoma is described from subterranean waters in the Diamantina Plateau, Bahia State, central northeastern Brazil.This is the first troglomorphic species in the subfamily Copionodontinae.It is distinguished from all other copionodontines Suspension Lift Kit by the presence of opercular odontodes,

Overexpression of GmHsp90s, a heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) gene family cloning from soybean, decrease damage of abiotic stresses in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Hsp90 is one of the most conserved and abundant molecular chaperones and is an essential component of the protective stress response; however, its roles in abiotic stress responses in soybean (Glycine max) remain obscure.Here, 12 GmHsp90 genes from soybean were identified and found to be expressed and to function differentially under abiotic stress

Study of Effect of Climate Change on Potential Evapotranspiration in Arid Areas Using Geostatistics (Case Study: Yazd Province)

In water systems, precipitation is considered as input and evaporation as the output of the system.Water availability can be estemated from the relationship between these two factors.Therefore, evapotranspiration is the most important factor after precipitation in hydrological cycle.Evapotranspiration is influenced by climatic parameters such as te
