A revision of the New Zealand endemic Lepidium oleraceum and allied species is presented.Sixteen species are recognised, 10 of these are new.The new species are segregated on the basis of morphological characters supported by molecular data obtained from three Full Sleigh Storage Bed DNA markers (two rDNA and one cpDNA).One species, L.castellanum s
Background: When considering the risk to bees a thorough understanding of the relevant routes of exposure and the magnitude of exposure is necessary.Results: Bees forage on plants and in particular flowers to obtain food for themselves and for provisioning their young.Foliar applications during flowering will present the most extreme acute exposure
Abstract Background It is poorly understood why many transforming proteins reportedly enhance both cell growth (transformation) and cell death (apoptosis).At first glance, the ability to transform and the ability to engender apoptosis seem to be contradictory.Interestingly, both abilities have been widely reported in the literature for the HTLV-I T
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells of the immune system.Upon sensing pathogenic material in their environment, DCs start to mature, which includes cellular processes, such as antigen uptake, processing and presentation, as well as upregulation of costimulatory molecules and cytokine secretion.During maturation, DCs deta
