Captive populations are considered a key component of ex situ conservation programs.Research on multiple taxa has shown the differential success of maintaining Wine Bag demographic versus genetic stability and viability in captive populations.In typical captive populations, usually founded by few or related individuals, genetic diversity can be los
Antiviral RISC mainly targets viral mRNA but not genomic RNA of tospovirus.
Antiviral RNA silencing/interference (RNAi) of negative-strand (-) RNA plant viruses (NSVs) has been studied less than for single-stranded, positive-sense (+)RNA plant viruses.From the latter, genomic and subgenomic mRNA molecules are targeted by RNAi.However, genomic RNA strands from plant NSVs are generally wrapped tightly within viral nucleocaps
Performance Management Antecedents and Public Sector Organizational Performance: Empirical Evidence from Nigeria
Using data COCOA BUTTER from MDA-wide survey administered on the public sector organizations in the North-eastern part of Nigeria, the study examine some antecedents of the performance management practice and how these antecedents influenced public sector organizational performance.The hypotheses of the study were tested using the survey data from
Revealing the Diversity of Introduced Coffea canephora Germplasm in Ecuador: Towards a National Strategy to Improve Robusta
Genetic resources of Coffea canephora have been introduced in several tropical countries with potential for crop development.In Ecuador, the species has been cultivated since the mid-20th century.However, little is known about the diversity and genetic structure of introduced germplasm.This paper provides an overview of the genetic and phenotypic d
