Flavones, one of the largest classes of flavonoids in plants, have a variety of bioactivities and participate in the Zinc Carnosine resistance response of plants to biotic and abiotic stresses.However, flavone synthase (FNS), the key enzyme for flavone biosynthesis, has not yet been characterized in mulberry.In this study, we report that the leaves

Determining the dietary niche is an essential part of any conservation strategy, and for modeling the community responses to climate change.DNA metabarcoding methods are revolutionizing such approaches, allowing higher taxonomic resolution than typically possible using microscopy.However, few studies have compared directly the approaches to evaluat

Polymers that solidify under light radiation are commonly used in digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing.A wide range of Shower Mats photopolymers use photoinitiators that react to radiation in range of ultraviolet (UV) wavelength.In the present study we provided measurement of radiant fluence in the UV wavelength range from 280 nm to 400 nm fo

A 37-year-old bull African elephant (Loxodonta africana) at the North Carolina Zoo (NCZ) was diagnosed with bilateral cataracts leading to behavioral changes and significant weight loss secondary to functional blindness.On initial examination, a weight loss of 234 kg, a mature cataract in the right eye, and a focal Round Wood Sign cataract in the l

Abstract Two classes of quantum-annealing-inspired-algorithms (QAIA), namely different variants of simulated coherent Ising machine and simulated bifurcation, have been proposed for efficiently solving combinatorial optimization problems recently.In order to certify the superiority of these algorithms, standardized comparisons Round Wood Sign among
