Heat susceptibility of grain filling in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) linked with rapid chlorophyll loss during a 3-day heat treatment
(Springer, 2016)Brief heat events (1–3 days, >30 °C) commonly reduce wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain size and consequently yield. To identify mechanisms of tolerance to such short heat events, 36 wheat genotypes were treated under ... -
HNN- EXTENSIONS OF FINITE INVERSE SEMIGROUPS
(POLITECNICO DI M ILANO D EPARTMENT OF M ATHEMATICS, 2014)The concept of HNN-extensions of groups was introduced by Higman, Neumann and Neumann in 1949. HNN-extensions and amalgamated free products have played a crucial role in combinatorial group theory, especially for algorithmic ... -
Immune Checkpoint Blockade Therapy for Cancer
(International Journal of Tumor Therapy, 2019-03)The expression of immune checkpoint molecules such as programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) on the surface of cancer cells and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) on the ... -
In vivo and In vitro interactions between two entomopathogens: the bacterium Serratia marcescens and the nematode Heterorhabditis indica
(Russian Journal of Nematology, 2013)The influence of interaction between Serratia marcescens and Heterorhabditis indica on the penetration, development and proliferation of the latter inside Galleria mellonella larvae was investigated. The preinfection ... -
Inula viscosa (L.) Greuter, phytochemical composition, antioxidant, total phenolic content, total flavonoids content and neuroprotective effects
(European Journal of Integrative Medicine, 2021)Introduction: Inula viscosa (L.) Greuter (DV) has been utilized in folk medicine due to its anti-inflammatory, diuretic, antiseptic, and antiphlogistic properties. Numerous studies highlighted the beneficial impact of (DV) ... -
Invertebrate Fauna of Wadi Al-Quff Protected Area, Palestine
(Jordan Journal of Natural History, 2016)We report results of a preliminary survey of the invertebrate fauna of Wadi Al-Quff area (occupied Palestine). We recorded 23 species of butterflies in 5 families. Moths were a difficult group to classify but we have at ... -
Karyotype for Nebo hierichonticus (Simon 1872) from the Palestinian Territories (Scorpiones: Scorpionidae)
(The Japan Mendel Society, 2014)In this paper we report the first karyotypic data on Nebo hierichonticus (Simon 1872) from the occupied Palestinian territories. The karyotype consists of 50 chromosomes which appear acrocentric except for pair 3, likely ... -
Macrofungi from the Hebron and Jerusalem Hills of Palestine
(2020)This study is based on specimens of macrofungi collected from biodiversity hotspots in the southern West Bank of occupied Palestine during a four-week survey period in December and January 2018–19. We identified 27 macrofungi ... -
Making a friend from a foe: expressing a GroEL gene from the whitefly Bemisia tabaci in the phloem of tomato plants confers resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus
(Archives of Virology, 2007-03-05)Some (perhaps all) plant viruses transmitted in a circulative manner by their insect vectors avoid destruction in the haemolymph by interacting with GroEL homologues, ensuring transmission. We have previously shown that ... -
Mantids (Dictyoptera: Mantodea) from the Palestinian Territories with an updated list
(ARTICULATA, 2018)A total of seventeen species of the order Mantodea were recorded from the Palestinian Territories belonging to five families (Empusidae, Eremiaphilidae, Mantidae, Tarachodidae and Toxoderidae) and thirteen genera (Ameles, ... -
Mapping of novel salt tolerance QTL in an Excalibur × Kukri doubled haploid wheat population
(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2018-10-01)Key message Novel QTL for salinity tolerance traits have been detected using non-destructive and destructive phe notyping in bread wheat and were shown to be linked to improvements in yield in saline fields. Abstract ... -
Mapping of novel salt tolerance QTL in an Excalibur× Kukri doubled haploid wheat population
(Springer, 2017-07)Novel QTL for salinity tolerance traits have been detected using non-destructive and destructive phenotyping in bread wheat and were shown to be linked to improvements in yield in saline fields. Abstract Soil salinity ... -
Molecular Identification of Six Steinernema Isolates and Characterization of their Internal Transcribed Spacers Regions
(2013-11-14)Molecular identification and genotyping of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are prerequisites for their proper classification, biodiversity studies, and their potential use in biological control programs. In Palestine, ... -
A novel double-stranded RNA mycovirus from Fusarium graminearum; Nucleic acid sequence and genomic structure.
(Archives of Virology, 2011-01-07)Ten Fusarium graminearum isolates from China were screened for dsRNA mycoviruses. Five dsRNAs (2.4 to 3.5 kbp) were purified from isolate China 9, cloned, and sequenced. BLAST analysis showed that the proteins encoded by ... -
Optimal designs for contingent response models
(Springer, 2004)We study D- and c-optimal designs for the contingent response models of (1995). In the contingent response model there are two types of failure. We call one failure type toxicity and the other disease failure. No toxicity ... -
Optimal designs for contingent response models with application to toxicity and efficacy
(Issac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, 2011-12)We generalize results in the literature to obtain a general family contingent response models. These models have ternary outcomes constructed from two Bernouli outcomes, where one outcome is only observed if the other ... -
Optimal designs for contingent response models with application to toxicity–efficacy studies
(Springer Science & Business Media, 2012)We describe a general family of contingent response models. These models have ternary outcomes constructed from two Bernoulli outcomes, where one outcome is only observed if the other outcome is positive. This family is ... -
Optimal designs for dose-finding in contingent response models
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2004-12)We study D- and c-optimal designs for dose-finding with opposing failure functions. In particular, we study the contingent response models of Li, Durham and Flournoy (1995). In the contingent response model, there are two ... -
Optimized approaches for the sequence determination of double-stranded RNA templates
(Journal of Virological Methods, 2010-08-18)Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) is in many cases the only available template for molecular and diagnostic studies of RNA viruses. A novel mycovirus with a five dsRNAs segmented-genome served as a model system for the ...
