INNOVATIVE STAIN-FREE TECHNIQUE FOR HIGH-RESOLUTION IMAGING OF VIRUS PARTICLES VIA STANDARD TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

Innovative stain-free technique for high-resolution imaging of virus particles via standard transmission electron microscopy

This research presents a groundbreaking approach in virus-related research, addressing challenges in electron microscopy (EM).This imaging technique has been crucial in Natural Preservative exploring virus structures; however, traditional methods involve complex sample preparations and the risk of contamination.Herein, we introduce an approach that

Two new species of Liodessus Guignot, 1939 diving beetles from Northern Peru (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae, Hydroporinae)

The diving beetles Liodessus altoperuensis sp.nov.and Liodessus caxamarca sp.nov.(Dytiscidae, Hydroporinae, Bidessini) are described from the high altitudes of the Puna regions of north western Peru.They occur in shallow and exposed Cartridge Adaptors mossy peatland puddles.We delineate the two species using structures such as male genitalia, beetl

Maize Thymidine Kinase Activity Is Present throughout Plant Development and Its Heterologous Expression Confers Tolerance to an Organellar DNA-Damaging Agent

Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) phosphorylates thymidine nucleosides to generate thymidine monophosphate.This Arch reaction belongs to the pyrimidine salvage route that is phylogenetically conserved.In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, TK activity contributes to maintain nuclear and organellar genome integrity by providing deoxythymidine-triphosphate
