EFFECTS OF NATURAL TREATMENTS ON THE VARROA MITE INFESTATION LEVELS AND OVERALL HEALTH OF HONEY BEE (APIS MELLIFERA) COLONIES.

Effects of natural treatments on the varroa mite infestation levels and overall health of honey bee (Apis mellifera) colonies.

The survival of the honey bee (Apis mellifera), which has a crucial role in pollination and ecosystem maintenance, is threatened by many pathogens, including parasites, bacteria, fungi and viruses.The ectoparasite Varroa destructor is considered 10 GRAIN PANCAKE the major cause of the worldwide decline in honey bee colony health.Although several sy

Factors influencing the predation rates of Anisops breddini (Hemiptera: Notonectidae) feeding on mosquito larvae

Notonectidae are a family of water bugs that are known to be important predators of mosquito larvae and have great potential in the biological control of vector mosquitoes.An experiment was conducted to assess mosquito larvae predation by Anisops breddini, a species common Steam Cleaners to Southeast Asia.The predation rates were recorded in contex

CLASP promotes stable tethering of endoplasmic microtubules to the cell cortex to maintain cytoplasmic stability in Arabidopsis meristematic cells.

Following cytokinesis in plants, Endoplasmic MTs (EMTs) assemble on the nuclear surface, forming a radial network that extends out to the cell cortex, where they attach and incorporate into the cortical microtubule (CMT) array.We found that in KOREAN RED GINSENG these post-cytokinetic cells, the MT-associated protein CLASP is enriched at sites of E
