Sunflower biometrics and chemical salinity attributes of soil irrigated with waters of different qualities by Paulo Vitor Santa Rosa Silva (10423636)

“…Irrigation with effluent promoted a better development of the sunflower crop, and the increase in the salinity of the irrigation water in the other treatments promoted a decrease in the total fresh and dry phytomasses, plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, leaf area, internal and external diameters of the capitula and in the consumption and efficiency of water use. …”

Decitabine pre-treatment enhances cytotoxic and apoptotic activity of cisplatin. by Chi T. Viet (659100)

“…(<b>E</b>) The graph depicts apoptosis activity (caspase 3/7 activity, measured as luminescence on y-axis) at different cisplatin concentrations (3-300 µM). A decrease in apoptotic activity at high dose ranges is an expected phenomenon in this assay due to early cell death from high drug doses prior to quantification. …”

PntP1 is maintained by Tll in type II NBs. by Rui Chen (95310)

“…<p>Type II NB lineages are labeled with mCD8-GFP/RFP driven by <i>pntP1-GAL4</i> and counterstained with anti-Ase, anti-Dpn, and/or anti-PntP1 antibodies. White arrows point to type II NBs. Scale bars equal 10μm. (A-B’”) Wild type type II NB lineages have no Ase expression in the NBs and have higher expression levels of mCD8-GFP driven by <i>pntP1-GAL4</i> (A-A’”), whereas knockdown of Tll in type II NBs leads to ectopic Ase expression in type II NBs and a decrease in mCD8-GFP expression by 75% (B-B’”). mCD8-GFP intensity in the wild type type II NBs is normalized as 1 (A and A’”). …”
