MULTIPLE GROUP I INTRONS IN THE SMALL-SUBUNIT RDNA OF BOTRYOSPHAERIA DOTHIDEA: IMPLICATION FOR INTRASPECIFIC GENETIC DIVERSITY.

Multiple group I introns in the small-subunit rDNA of Botryosphaeria dothidea: implication for intraspecific genetic diversity.

Botryosphaeria dothidea is a widespread and economically important pathogen on various fruit trees, and it often causes die-back and canker on limbs and fruit rot.In characterizing intraspecies genetic variation within this fungus, group I introns, rich in rDNA of fungi, may provide a productive region for exploration.In this research, we analysed

Adapting evidence-informed complex population health interventions for new contexts: a systematic review of guidance

Abstract Background Adapting interventions that have worked elsewhere can save resources associated with developing new interventions for each specific context.While a developing body of evidence shows benefits of adapted interventions compared with interventions transported without adaptation, there are also examples of interventions which have be

Changes in a Giant Iceberg Created from the Collapse of the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, Derived from Sentinel-1 and CryoSat-2 Data

The giant tabular iceberg A68 broke away from the Larsen C Ice Shelf, Antarctic Peninsula, in July 2017.The evolution of A68 would have been affected by both the Larsen C Ice Shelf, the surrounding sea ice, and the nearby shallow seafloor.In this study, we analyze the initial evolution of iceberg A68A—the largest originating from A68—in
