The body schema is an action-related representation of the body that arises from activity in a network of multiple brain areas.While it was initially thought that the body schema developed with experience, the existence of phantom limbs in individuals born without a limb (amelics) led to the suggestion that it was innate.The Shorts problem with thi
Seven new genes controlled by the quorum-sensing signal molecule N-(3-oxohexanoyl)-L-homoserine lactone (OHHL) have been identified in Erwinia carotovora subsp.carotovora.Using TnphoA as a mutagen, we enriched for mutants defective in proteins that OUT THE DOOR could play a role in the interaction between E.carotovora subsp.carotovora and its plant
Fungal biofilms are Covers communities of adherent cells surrounded by an extracellular matrix.These biofilms are commonly found during infection caused by a variety of fungal pathogens.Clinically, biofilm infections can be extremely difficult to eradicate due to their resistance to antifungals and host defenses.Biofilm formation can protect fungal
In order to characterize the response of selected grasses to water stress, relative water content Steering Stabilizer (RWC) in leaves and quantum efficiency of photosystem 2 (Fv/Fm) were measured in Phleum pratense L., P.bertolonii DC.and P.phleoides H.Karst.during 6 d of water stress.The results indicated differential responses to water stress amo
Abstract Background Many animals face some form of conflict over reproductive opportunities.Queen selection in social insect colonies represents a high-stakes conflict where competition occurs among multiple queens for a few or a single reproductive role(s).The outcome of the contest is critical to the fitness of all colony individuals as most are
