A banana susceptibility gene underlying fusarium wilt: validation as a target for disease resistance

Abstract Background Fusarium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense , remains the principal constraint on banana production, particularly for the widely cultivated cultivar ‘Prata-Ana’ (AAB) in Brazil. Given the limited efficacy of conventional co...

The problem of the critical inclination of the third body

Abstract The so-called critical inclination problem of the third body appears in various contexts of celestial mechanics, especially in studies of orbital stability, secular perturbations, frozen orbits, resonances, and the restricted three-body problem. In general terms, the cri...

Population Dynamics and Extractive Potential of the Mangrove Crab, Ucides cordatus (Linnaeus, 1763), in a Human-Impacted Mangrove of Northeastern Brazil

Ucides cordatus, a key species in Brazilian mangroves, supports both ecological processes and traditional extractive practices. Some mangrove areas in Northeastern Brazil are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic stressors. We evaluated the population density, size structure, ext...

Comparison of Fogarty and Vollmar thrombectomy for chronic jugular thrombosis in horses

Abstract Background Chronic jugular vein thrombosis may result in persistent venous obstruction and impaired head drainage. Although surgical thrombectomy is performed in selected cases, experimental comparisons between mechanical techniques for chronic thrombus removal in horses...

Mango peel flour (Mangifera indica) as a source of antioxidants and dietary fiber in goat meat sausages

Abstract Lipid oxidation is a major cause of quality deterioration in meat products, while dietary fiber is scarce in these foods. This study evaluated the effects of mango peel flour (MPF), a natural source of antioxidants and dietary fiber, on the quality characteristics of goa...
