TL;DR: In this article, spatial patterns for seven soil chemical properties and textures were examined in two fields in southern Spain (Monclova and Caracol, province of Seville, Andalusia) in order to identify their spatial distribution for the implementation of a site-specific fertilization practice.
Abstract: Spatial patterns for seven soil chemical properties and textures were examined in two fields in southern Spain (Monclova and Caracol, province of Seville, Andalusia) in order to identify their spatial distribution for the implementation of a site-specific fertilization practice. Two sampling grids of 35×20 and 35×35 m were established in Caracol and Monclova, respectively. Fourteen and eight georeferenced soil samples per hectare were collected at two depths (0–0.1 and 0.25–0.35 m) in early November 1998 before fertilizing and planting the winter crop. Data were analyzed both statistically and geostatistically on the basis of the semivariogram. The spatial distribution model and spatial dependence level varied both between and within locations. Some of the soil properties showed lack of spatial dependence at both depths and at the chosen interval (lag h). Such was the case for clay, organic matter and NH4 at Monclova; and clay and NH4 at Caracol. Bray P and exchangeable K showed a strong patchy distribution at any field and depth. It is important to know the spatial dependence of soil parameters, as management parameters with strong spatial dependence (patchy distribution) will be more readily managed and an accurate site-specific fertilization scheme for precision farming more easily developed.

TL;DR: The data document the validity of p234 for antagonizing Kp actions in vivo and provide direct experimental evidence for the important role of Kp signaling in the key events of female reproduction, such as puberty onset and the preovulatory surge of gonadotropins.
Abstract: Kisspeptins (Kp) have recently emerged as master regulators of the reproductive axis and among the most potent elicitors of GnRH-gonadotropin secretion. Despite their paramount importance in reproductive physiology and their potential therapeutic implications, development of Kp antagonists has remained elusive, and only recently has the first compound with the ability to block Kp actions in vitro and in vivo, namely p234, been reported. However, previous in vivo studies all used acute central injections, whereas characterization of the effects of the antagonist after continuous or systemic administration, which poses pharmacological challenges, is still pending. We report herein a comprehensive series of analyses on the impact of continuous intracerebroventricular infusion of p234 on puberty onset and the preovulatory surge of gonadotropins in the female rat. In addition, the effects of systemic (ip) administration of a tagged p234-penetratin, with a predicted higher permeability at the blood-brain barrier, on Kp-10 induced gonadotropin secretion were evaluated. Central infusion of p234 to pubertal females delayed vaginal opening and decreased uterine and ovarian weights at the expected time of puberty, without affecting body weight. Likewise, chronic intracerebroventricular administration of p234 for 4 d prevented the preovulatory surges of LH and FSH. In addition, systemic (ip) administration of p234-penetratin significantly attenuated acute LH and FSH responses to Kp-10, either after intracerebroventricular or ip injection of Kp. Our data document the validity of p234 for antagonizing Kp actions in vivo and provide direct experimental evidence for the important role of Kp signaling in the key events of female reproduction, such as puberty onset and the preovulatory surge of gonadotropins.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors advocate recognizing the genus Fusarium as the sole name for a group of species of importance in plant pathology, mycotoxicology, medicine, and basic research.
Abstract: In this letter, we advocate recognizing the genus Fusarium as the sole name for a group that includes virtually all Fusarium species of importance in plant pathology, mycotoxicology, medicine, and basic research. This phylogenetically guided circumscription will free scientists from any obligation to use other genus names, including teleomorphs, for species nested within this clade, and preserve the application of the name Fusarium in the way it has been used for almost a century. Due to recent changes in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, this is an urgent matter that requires community attention. The alternative is to break the longstanding concept of Fusarium into nine or more genera, and remove important taxa such as those in the F. solani species complex from the genus, a move we believe is unnecessary. Here we present taxonomic and nomenclatural proposals that will preserve established research connections and facilitate communication within and between research communities, and at the same time support strong scientific principles and good taxonomic practice.
