In the face of escalating global food demand and the constraints of finite arable land, enhancing nutrient use efficiency in crops has become a major ...

Plants need nitrogen to grow. Many legumes meet this need through a symbiotic relationship: They harbor bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen and make it available to the plant. Until now, it was ...

EPUYEN, Argentina - Ms Mailen Valle lost her father and two sisters during a hantavirus outbreak more than seven years ago in Epuyen, a village in Argentina’s Patagonia region. With the recent ...

As sessile, photoautotrophic organisms, plants are subjected to fluctuating sunlight that includes potentially detrimental ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. Experiments under controlled conditions have ...

All the results present solid evidence supporting the impact statement that 'Plant roots can rapidly change the acidity of their cell walls and the root-soil interface to efficiently navigate in the ...

The mechanism of miRNA-mediated root growth and development in response to nutrient deficiency in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is still unclear. In the present study, we found that both nitrogen (N) ...

Results from 54 independent European-ancestry studies, totaling 150 134 individuals, were included in the stage 1 meta-analysis: AGES (n=3215), ARIC (n=9402), ASPS (n=828), B58C (n=6458), BHS (n=4492) ...

Root systems develop different root types that individually sense cues from their local environment and integrate this information with systemic signals. This complex multi-dimensional amalgam of ...

Abstract: A discrete time-domain modeling and analysis for the peak current controlled (PCC) buck light-emitting diode (LED) driver is presented in this paper. The discrete time-domain equation ...

Species display a range of plastic phenotypes that presumably have evolved as a result of adaptation to heterogeneous environments. We asked whether the genetic mechanisms that underlie adaptation ...
