A balancing act: how plants integrate nitrogen and water signals
(Oxford University Press, 2020-07-25)
Nitrogen (N) and water (W) are crucial inputs for plant survival as well as costly resources for agriculture. Given their importance, the molecular mechanisms that plants rely on to signal changes in either N or W status ...
Draft Genome Sequence of Blautia luti DSM 14534(T), Isolated from Human Stool
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020-05)
Here, we report the draft sequence of Blautia luti strain DSM 14534T, originally isolated from human feces. This draft contains 74 contigs, comprising 3,718,760 bp with a G+C content of 42.87%. The annotated draft contains ...
NOTCH3 Gene Mutation in a Chilean Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy Family
(ELSEVIER, 2020)
Introduction: Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a rare hereditary stroke disorder caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene. We report the first Chilean ...
Evaluation of the Abundance of DNA-Binding Transcription Factors in Prokaryotes
(MDPI, 2020)
The ability of bacteria and archaea to modulate metabolic process, defensive response, and pathogenic capabilities depend on their repertoire of genes and capacity to regulate the expression of them. Transcription factors ...
Characterizing the microbiomes of Antarctic sponges: a functional metagenomic approach
(Nature Publishing Group, 2020-01-20)
Relatively little is known about the role of sponge microbiomes in the Antarctic marine environment, where sponges may dominate the benthic landscape. Specifically, we understand little about how taxonomic and functional ...
Geographical origin determines responses to salinity of Mediterranean caddisflies
(Public Library of Science, 2020-01-13)
Many freshwater ecosystems worldwide, and particularly Mediterranean ones, show increasing levels of salinity. These changes in water conditions could affect abundance and distribution of inhabiting species as well as the ...
Monitoring the occurrence of microplastic ingestion in Otariids along the Peruvian and Chilean coasts
(Elsevier Inc., 2020-04)
Repeated reports of microplastic pollution in the marine pinniped diet have emerged in the last years. However, only few studies address the drivers of microplastics presence and the potential implications for monitoring ...
Microplastic ingestion cause intestinal lesions in the intertidal fish Girella laevifrons
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2020)
We exposed juvenile intertidal fish to different amounts of Poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) microplastics in their diet. We fed ten individuals with pellets containing 0.01 g, another ten fish with pellets containing 0.1 ...
Eco-hydrological Functions in Forested Catchments of Southern Chile
(Springer New York, 2020-03)
Ecosystem functions in forests can vary significantly after disturbance, depending on changes in vegetation structure during succession and soil biophysical characteristics. We examined streamflow regulation, water storage ...
Entrenamiento de handgrip isométrico de alta intensidad en adultos mayores pre-hipertensos y con diagnóstico de hipertensión arterial sistémica etapa I
(Chile. Universidad Mayor, 2020)
Background: Moderate isometric handgrip exercise is an effective tool in the management of systemic hypertension. Aim: To evaluate the effectiveness of a high intensity isometric handgrip exercise protocol for the reduction ...
