Pine forests constitute some of the most important renewable resources supplying timber, paper and chemical industries, among other functions. Characterization of the volatiles emitted by different Pinus species has proven to be an important tool to decode the process of host tree selection by herbivore insects, some of which cause serious economic damage to pines. Variations in the relative composition of the ...
Development of some immune-mediated disorders may depend on dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. To explore neuropsychologic mechanisms in relation to the abnormal endocrine reactivity in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and chronic hepatitis C (CHC) we used the corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH) test, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), and the ...

Echinochloa crus-galli and Paspalum paspalodes showed a relative frequency of 98% and 82%, respectively. An interpret...
A partir de levantamentos florísticos efectuados em 61 pomares de macieira nas regiões da Beira Interior e do Ribatejo e Oeste, obteve-se uma listagem de 389 espécies adventícias. As notações de abundância e frequência permitiram definir as espécies que causam ou poderão vir a causar aos fruticultores maiores dificuldades de combate. As relações existentes entre as espécies adventícias e os factores «região geo...
