Effects of Urolithin A supplementation on performance and antioxidant status in academy soccer players during preseason: a pilot randomised controlled trial Open
Background Polyphenol-derived compounds, such as Urolithin A (UA), may exert beneficial effects to performance adaptations during periods of high training stress through several pathways including a reduction in an oxidative stress and imp…
Development of an improved medium for the preservation of human spermatozoa Open
Purpose To create a novel medium that retained human sperm quality following cryopreservation at a higher level than that seen with currently available commercial cryoprotectants. Methods Cryopreservation was achieved via 1:1 dilution with…
Evaluation of leucomethylene blue as a probe for assessing antioxidant activity reveals a potential application in the assessment of male fertility Open
The oxidation of leucomethylene blue (LMB) and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) are colorigenic reactions, generating methylene blue (M+) and the ABTS•+ cation radical, respectively. In this study, we have analy…

Lethal Bronzing Disease (LBD) Open
Lethal bronzing disease (LBD), formerly Texas Phoenix Palm Decline (TPPD), is a lethal phytoplasma infection of various palm species in the state of Florida. It was first detected in Florida in 2006 and has since spread to 31 different cou…
Lethal Yellowing (LY) of Palm Open
Lethal yellowing (LY) is a palm disease prevalent in Florida landscapes in the southern one-third of the state. It is also observed in field nurseries. This disease has significantly reduced the number of tall-type Cocos nucifera (coconut)…
Disease progression of a lethal decline caused by the 16SrIV‐D phytoplasma in Florida palms Open
Recently, a new phytoplasma was discovered in Hillsborough County in the state of Florida, USA. This phytoplasma belongs to the 16SrIV taxonomic group and is classified as subgroup D. It is the causal agent of lethal bronzing disease (LBD)…
Digital PCR Technology for Detection of Palm-Infecting Phytoplasmas Belonging to Group 16SrIV that Occur in Florida Open
Phytoplasmas are an economically important group of plant pathogens that negatively impact a wide variety of plants in agricultural and natural ecosystems. In Florida, palm trees are essential elements in the nursery and landscaping indust…
Detecting and Differentiating Phytoplasmas Belonging to Subgroups 16SrIV-A and 16SrIV-D Associated With Lethal Declines of Palms in Florida Using qPCR and High-Resolution Melt Analysis (HRMA) Open
Lethal yellowing (LY) and Texas Phoenix palm decline (TPPD) are two important phytoplasma diseases of palms in Florida. Both have been responsible for major economic losses historically and remain a constant threat to the sustainability of…
Texas Phoenix Palm Decline Open
Texas Pheonix palm decline is a new disease in Florida, caused by an unculturable bacterium. It is a fatal, systemic disease that kills palms relatively quickly. This revised 6-page fact sheet explains the pathogen and hosts of TPPD, its s…
