Human color perception is mediated by cone photoreceptor cells which mainly locate on the fovea of the eye. Bright light activates the photosensitive opsin pigments which are embedded in the outer segment membrane discs ...
In recent decades, much work has gone into collecting and conserving phytogenetic resources, resulting in a considerable increase in the number of entries stored ex situ in germplasm banks. However, these resources have ...
GPCR are integral membrane receptor proteins that are characterized by heptahelical transmembrane domains connected by intracellular and extracellular loops. GPCRs are an attractive class of proteins for drug discovery, ...
This research project intends to investigate empirically the potentials of Social Capital to act as a mechanism to improve the performance of India's small-holder agriculture. The study employs both a qualitative and ...
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest membrane protein superfamily encoded by the human genome and represent the largest class of drug targets for a wide range of pathological conditions. Two GPCRs members, ...
Laccases belong to multi copper oxidase enzyme family (EC 1.10.3.2). Their capacity to oxidíze a wide range of substrates makes them very attractive for the industry and are growing in importance for environmentally-friendly ...
The general objective of the thesis was to determinate the population dynamics of Meloidogyne on tomato and cucumber, the yield losses caused by the nematode and the effect of biologically-based management strategies to ...
It is crucial to study the denitrification process driven by bacteria as it is one of the most important environmental processes for several reasons: i) it has an application in the removal of nitrogen (N) from high-N waste ...
This doctoral thesis is based on professional experience with patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia. This clinical syndrome, which is highly prevalent in the health and social environment, with very diverse etiologies is ...
Water scarcity is an issue of global concern due to the increase of the population and the climate change, which both increase the water demand. Many arid and semiarid countries are facing high water stress and the use of ...
Vegetable production in greenhouses is an important and productive economic activity for agricultural businesses in Southern Europe. One of the most risky factors affecting this activity is the use of plant protection ...
Concerns about a global decline in pollinators have called for more knowledge about the drivers of wild pollinator abundance and diversity in agroecosystems. Agricultural intensification has been identified as the main ...
Peri-urban agriculture carries out environmental, social and economic functions and services to the nearby urban areas. Nonetheless, most of these fields are impacted with organic and inorganic contaminants caused by ...
