Shared but Threatened: The Heritage of Wild Food Plant Gathering among Different Linguistic and Religious Groups in the Ishkoman and Yasin Valleys, North Pakistan

A wild food ethnobotanical field study was conducted in the Ishkoman and Yasin valleys, located in the Hindukush Mountain Range of Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan. These valleys are inhabited by diverse, often marginalized, linguistic a...

OsAAI1 is dependent on the nitrate pathway toregulate rice root development in response to high salt stress

Salt stress limits plant growth and yield. Though nitrogen fertilizer can alleviate salt damage, the effects of salt and nitrate on the stress resistance gene OsAAI1 are unclear. This study examined the Salt stress sensitivity of OsAAI1 tra...

Screening of phytochemical and pharmacological activities of Syzygium caryophyllatum (L.) Alston

Abstract Background The systematic screening of plant species with the purpose of discovering new bioactive compounds is prerequisite for any bioprospecting study. Therefore the present study was carried out to assess the phytochemical cont...

A native parasitic plant and soil microorganisms facilitate a native plant co‐occurrence with an invasive plant

Abstract Invasive plants often interact with antagonists that include native parasitic plants and pathogenic soil microbes, which may reduce fitness of the invaders. However, to date, most of the studies on the ecological consequences of an...

Study on Three Sarcocapnos Species as Potential Sources of Bioactive Compounds: Relation between Phenolic Content and Bioactivity by Multivariate Analysis

In this work, we report the phenolic composition and bioactivity of the aerial parts of three species of Sarcocapnos (S. enneaphylla, S. pulcherrima, and S. saetabensis) to study their potential as sources of bioactive compounds to revalori...

DESENVOLVIMENTO INICIAL DO MILHO PIPOCA CULTIVADO SOB DIFERENTES RELAÇÕES NH4 +:NO3-

The culture of the popcorn comes as a promising culture for region of the Brazilian northeast, however they are still scarce studies to make possible the expansion of this culture, especially as the fertilization. This experiment was accomp...

Mikania micrantha genome provides insights into the molecular mechanism of rapid growth

Mikania micrantha is an extremely fast-growing invasive plant species that can cause serious damage to natural ecosystems. Here, the authors assemble its chromosome-scale reference genome and explore possible mechanisms that contribute to i...

Morphological and molecular identification of arrhenotokous strain of Diglyphus wani (Hymenoptera, Eulophidae) found in China as a control agent against agromyzid leafminers

Diglyphus species are ecologically and economically important on agromyzid leafminers. In 2018, a thelytokous species, Diglyphus wani Liu, Zhu & Yefremova, was firstly reported and described. Subsequently, the arrhenotokous D. wani ...

Updated Taxonomy of Chinese <i>Craterellus</i> (Hydnaceae, Cantharellales) with Three New Species Described

Species of Craterellus are interesting and important due to their mycorrhizal properties, medicinal value, and edibility. Despite extensive research on Craterellus in China, its taxonomy remains inadequately understood. This study presents ...

Heavy top quark mass in the minimal universal seesaw model

We study the hierarchy between MT , vL, and vR, the relevant energy scales of the Minimal Universal Seesaw Model (MUSM), where the two lightest quark families remain massless at tree level. We also predict the heavy top quark mass, mt′ . We...

New perspectives for cold and hot fusion reactions

We address the question of which novel and intriguing experiments can be performed with hot and cold complete fusion reactions yielding superheavy nuclei....

Non-equilibrium finite temperature dynamics of magnetic quantum systems: applications to spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy

We calculated the real-time non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum spin systems at finite temperatures. The mathematical framework originates from the C *-approach to quantum statistical mechanics and was applied to the samples investigated by...

Effect of Different Downward Loads and Rotational Speeds on the Removal of Gutta-Percha and Root Canal Sealer Using a Nickel-Titanium Rotary Gutta-Percha Removal System: An Ex Vivo Study

Effective gutta-percha/sealer removal is essential for predictable nonsurgical endodontic retreatment, but the effects of key operational parameters on nickel–titanium rotary removal instruments remain insufficiently understood. This study ...

Ott-Antonsen ansatz truncation of a circular cumulant series

The cumulant representation is common in classical statistical physics for variables on the real line and the issue of closures of cumulant expansions is well elaborated. The case of phase variables significantly differs from the case of li...

High Dose MicroCT Does Not Contribute Toward Improved MicroPET/CT Image Quantitative Accuracy and Can Limit Longitudinal Scanning of Small Animals

Obtaining accurate quantitative measurements in preclinical Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT) imaging is of paramount importance in biomedical research and helps supporting efficient translation of preclinical result...

Low cloud response to aerosol‐radiation‐cloud interactions: Idealized WRF numerical experiments for EUREC4A project

Abstract Aerosols significantly affect cloud microphysics and energy budget in different ways. The contribution of the direct, semi‐direct, and indirect effects of aerosols on radiation are here investigated over the North Atlantic tropical...

Topologically protected loop flows in high voltage AC power grids

Geographical features such as mountain ranges or big lakes and inland seas often result in large closed loops in high voltage AC power grids. Sizable circulating power flows have been recorded around such loops, which take up transmission l...
