Community-level network studies suggest that seed dispersal networks may share some universal properties with other complex systems.However, most of the datasets used so far in those studies have been strongly biased towards temperate birds, including not only dispersers, but also seed predators.Recent evidence from multi-taxon networks suggests th

BACKGROUND: Glutamine synthetase (GS) plays a central role in plant nitrogen assimilation, a process intimately linked to soil water availability.We previously showed that hybrid poplar (Populus tremula X alba, INRA 717-1B4) expressing ectopically a pine cytosolic glutamine synthetase gene (GS1a) display enhanced tolerance to drought.Preliminary tr

The climatic features of Russia, as well as the need for the development of the Arctic and the Great Northern Sea Route, require an increase in the production of winter diesel fuel.The object of the study is obtaining winter diesel fuel.The subject of the study is digitalizing oil-refining processes by building the mathematical model of winter dies

Abstract Genome editing using CRISPR-Cas systems is a promising avenue for the treatment of genetic diseases.However, cellular and humoral immunogenicity of genome editing tools, which read more originate from bacteria, complicates their clinical use.Here we report reduced immunogenicity (Red)(i)-variants of two clinically relevant nucleases, SaCas

Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi (SBG) is not just as a traditional herbal medicine but also a popular functional food in China and other Asian countries.A sensitive simple strategy was developed for the first time to analyze SBG from eight different geographical sources using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with multivariate ch
