Hereditary Spherocytosis and Pregnancy: A Case Report

Even though it is a rare condition, hereditary spherocytosis (EH) is the main inherited cause of haemolytic anaemia and presents with a broad spectrum of symptoms. In the few reported cases of pregnancy and EH, maternal and foetal outcomes are controversial. Particularly, reports of pregnancies with EH associated with thrombosis or portal hypertension are scarce. We present a case of a woman who underwent splen...

Biofertilizers and Silicon Fertilization as a Sustainable Option for Maize Prod...

Due to the rapid growth of human population and increasing living standards, there is a continuous increase in the gap between food productivity and demand. At the same time there is a global reduction in freshwater availability for agriculture. Several options have been proposed along the way to increase water use efficiency in the field. One promising possibility is the adoption of fertilization with silicon ...

Characterization of the cork oak transcriptome dynamics during acorn development

Background: Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) has a natural distribution across western Mediterranean regions and is a keystone forest tree species in these ecosystems. The fruiting phase is especially critical for its regeneration but the molecular mechanisms underlying the biochemical and physiological changes during cork oak acorn development are poorly understood. In this study, the transcriptome of the cork oak ...

A comprehensive assessment of the transcriptome of cork oak (Quercus suber) thr...

Cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the rare trees with the ability to produce cork, a material widely used to make wine bottle stoppers, flooring and insulation materials, among many other uses. The molecular mechanisms of cork formation are still poorly understood, in great part due to the difficulty in studying a species with a long life-cycle and for which there is scarce molecular/genomic information. Cork ...
