Egyptian flower mantis Blepharopsis mendica (Order: Mantodea) is a widespread mantis species throughout the southwest Palearctic region. The ecological and geographical distribution of such interesting species is rarely known. So, through this work, habitat suitability models for its distribution through Egyptian territory were created using MaxEnt software from 90 occurrence records. One topographic (altitude) and eleven bioclimatic variables influencing the species distribution were selected to generate the models. The predicted distribution in Egypt was focused on the Delta, South Sinai, the north-eastern part of the country, and some areas in the west including Siwa Oasis. Temporal analysis between the two periods (1900–1961) and (1961–2017) show current reduction of this species distribution through Delta and its surrounding areas, may be due to urbanization. On the other hand, it increases in newly protected areas of South Sinai. Under the future climate change scenario, the MaxEnt model predicted the habitat gains for B. mendica in RCP 2.6 for 2070 and loss of habitat in RCP 8.5 for the same year. Our results can be used as a basis for conserving this species not only in Egypt, but also throughout the whole of its range, also, it show how the using of geo-information could help in studying animal ecology. 相似文献

Degenerative diseases are in part based on elevated production of ROS (reactive oxygen species) in mitochondria, mainly during stress and excessive work under stress (strenuous exercise). The production of ROS increases with increasing mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm). A mechanism is described which is suggested to keep ΔΨm at low values under normal conditions thus preventing ROS formation, but is switched off under stress and excessive work to maximize the rate of ATP synthesis, accompanied by decreased efficiency. Low ΔΨm and low ROS production are suggested to occur by inhibition of respiration at high [ATP]/[ADP] ratios. The nucleotides interact with phosphorylated cytochrome c oxidase (COX), representing the step with the highest flux-control coefficient of mitochondrial respiration. At stress and excessive work neural signals are suggested to dephosphorylate the enzyme and abolish the control of COX activity (respiration) by the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio with consequent increase of ΔΨm and ROS production. The control of COX by the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio, in addition, is proposed to increase the efficiency of ATP production via a third proton pumping pathway, identified in eukaryotic but not in prokaryotic COX. We conclude that ‘oxidative stress’ occurs when the control of COX activity by the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio is switched off via neural signals. 相似文献

Increased phenotyping accuracy and throughput are necessary to improve our understanding of quantitative variation and to be able to deconstruct complex traits such as those involved in growth responses to the environment. Still, only a few facilities are known to handle individual plants of small stature for non‐destructive, real‐time phenotype acquisition from plants grown in precisely adjusted and variable experimental conditions. Here, we describe Phenoscope, a high‐throughput phenotyping platform that has the unique feature of continuously rotating 735 individual pots over a table. It automatically adjusts watering and is equipped with a zenithal imaging system to monitor rosette size and expansion rate during the vegetative stage, with automatic image analysis allowing manual correction. When applied to Arabidopsis thaliana, we show that rotating the pots strongly reduced micro‐environmental disparity: heterogeneity in evaporation was cut by a factor of 2.5 and the number of replicates needed to detect a specific mild genotypic effect was reduced by a factor of 3. In addition, by controlling a large proportion of the micro‐environmental variance, other tangible sources of variance become noticeable. Overall, Phenoscope makes it possible to perform large‐scale experiments that would not be possible or reproducible by hand. When applied to a typical quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping experiment, we show that mapping power is more limited by genetic complexity than phenotyping accuracy. This will help to draw a more general picture as to how genetic diversity shapes phenotypic variation. 相似文献

We designed and synthesized new series of diverse triazoles, isoxazoles, isoxazolines, and aziridines linked 4-methylumbelliferone 1 using intermolecular 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions. Structures of these compounds were established on the basis of 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and ESI-HRMS. All prepared compounds were evaluated for their antimicrobial, anticoagulant, and anticholinesterase activities. Interestingly, among the tested molecules, some of the analogs displayed better activities than the parent 4-methylumbelliferone 1 such as 6a and 6d for their antifungal properties. Moreover, compounds 4, 5, 6, and 7 showed the importance of the added fragments to 4-methylumbelliferone 1 via the linker methylene to have good activity. 相似文献

The genomic diversity and relationship among 61Bacillus thuringiensis andBacillus cereus reference strains were investigated by electrophoretic analysis of esterase enzymes on native polyacrylamide gel. Polymorphism of the esterolytic bands revealed seven esterases, designed as Est A to Est G in order of decreasing anodal migration. Each esterase showed two to three mobility variants that assigned the analysed strains into 35 electrophoretic types (ETs). This high diversity allowed the identification of several serovar or strain-specific ETs. Cluster analysis of ETs showed three major groups in which the strains belonging to the serovartolworthi were the most distant. The ETs distribution showed thatB. thuringiensis andB. cereus are intermingled in the dendrogram with the resolution of some common serovars ofB. thuringiensis in tight phylogenetic lineages. These results indicate that the esterase enzyme electrophoresis, applied as a sole typing method for the closely related speciesB. thuringiensis andB. cereus is suitable to highlight the intraspecific genetic diversity. 相似文献

Biodiesel is considered as a potential alternative energy source, but problem exists with the quantity and quality of feedstock used for it. To improve the feedstock quality of biodiesel, a field experiment was conducted under natural conditions. Cultivar Thori of kasumbha was used in the experiment. Commercialized biofertilizers were applied at the rate of 20 kg per acre and chemical fertilizer (diammonium phosphate) was applied as half dose (15 kg/ha). Results indicated that number of leaf plant−1, leaf area, number of seeds capitulum−1 was significantly increased by biofertilizer treatment alone (BF) and combine treatment of biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer (BFCF). Agronomic traits such as plant height, no. of branches of a plant, no. of capitulum/plant was improved significantly by BF treatment over the control. Maximum 1000 seed weight (41%) and seed yield (23%) were recorded in half dose of chemical fertilizers treatment (CFH). Seed oil content and seed phenolics were significantly improved by BF and CF treatments while maximum biodiesel yield was recorded by BF treatment. Maximum oleic acid was recorded by BF treatment while other fatty acids being maximum in control except linoleic acid in BFCF treatment. Results for specific gravity were non-significant while acid value and free fatty acid contents were substantially reduced by BF treatment as compared to other treatments. Maximum value of iodine number was recorded in BFCF treatment while tocopherol contents were improved by BF treatment. It is inferred that biofertilizer treatment alone perform better as compared to other treatments and 50% chemical fertilizer can be replaced using biofertilizer which is a good approach for sustainable environmental-friendly agriculture.Keyword: Green energy, Biofuel, Biodiesel, Kasumbha, Biofertilizers, Fatty acid, NMR 相似文献
