BackgroundThe impact of phosphate mining development on surface water pollution and ecological disasters is a highly concerned issue in global mining activities.With the increasing demand for phosphate fertilizers, the environmental impact of phosphate mining is becoming increasingly prominent, especially in the Mabian Jinyang area of Sichuan Provi
bHLH Transcription Factor NtMYC2a Regulates Carbohydrate Metabolism during the Pollen Development of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. TN90)
Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor MYC2 regulates plant growth and development in many aspects through the jasmonic acid (JA) signaling pathway, while the role of MYC2 in plant carbohydrate metabolism has not been reported.Here, we generated NtMYC2a-overexpressing (NtMYC2a-OE) and RNA-interference-mediated knockdown (NtMYC2a-RI) tra
Wheat Lodging Area Recognition Method Based on Different Resolution UAV Multispectral Remote Sensing Images
ObjectiveTo quickly and accurately assess the situation of crop lodging disasters, it is necessary to promptly obtain information such as the location and area of the lodging occurrences.Currently, there are no corresponding technical standards for identifying crop lodging based on UAV remote sensing, which is not conducive to standardizing the pro
The Quest for a WMD Free Zone in the Middle East: History, Lessons Learned, and the Way Forward
It has been almost five decades since the initiative to transform the Middle East into a zone free of nuclear weapons was launched in the UN General Assembly in 1974.Despite sustained diplomatic efforts by the Arab states, the zone Dishwasher Salt remained an unrealized concept that is stuck in the pre-negotiation phase.For every step forward there
The epigenetic regulator ULTRAPETALA1 suppresses de novo root regeneration from Arabidopsis leaf explants
Plants have CLEAN COFFEE MEDIUM ROAST the potency to regenerate adventitious roots from aerial organs after detachment.In Arabidopsis thaliana, de novo root regeneration (DNRR) from leaf explants is triggered by wounding signaling that rapidly induces the expression of the ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERF) transcription factors ERF109 and ABR1 (ERF111
