Bean pyralid is an important leaf-feeding insect in soybean. Identification of insect-tolerant genes from soybean has great significant to the crop insect-tolerant breeding and genetic improvement. In this study, an F2population with 303 individuals was constructed using insect-resistant line Gantai-2...
If excess protein is used, no significant deviations are expected for the binding affinities obtained if the ligands bind to the same or to different sites. Insights regarding ligand competition may be obtained from experiments performed at excess ligand, through the comparison of the amount of ...
Although this is a challenging process, the detection and enumeration of CTCs are essential for assessing cancer progression. In this study, we demonstrated an inexpensive and simple method that used folic acid, FA, as targeting probe to replace antibodies for the enrichment and isolation of ...
The hybrid models used in this experiment combined the BBO and the BSA. ANNs are used in metaheuristic algorithms [39]. In these combinations, optimization methods are used instead of the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method [40], which is usually used for training. Multiple steps comprise this ...
Leafy head tightness and size are important indices to assessing the economic value of Chinese cabbage [3]. However, the molecular mechanism of leafy head formation in Chinese cabbage remains elusive. The leafy head development of Chinese cabbage is affected by diversity factors, such as ...
“Performance” is used here in the sense of measurable quantities linking a particular kind of phenotypic trait to fitness (Arnold, 1983), and “fitness” in the context of pollination usually refers to reproductive fitness as measured by seed production. The relevant performance component(s) can...
By assessing total reproductive fitness and its components, we disentangle the extent to which fire affects reproduction in grassland plants via resource- and pollination-dependent mechanisms. We hypothesize that fire stimulates plants to produce more flowering heads. We also hypothesize that fires ...
Management believes non-IFRS measures, including Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA, provide supplementary information to IFRS measures used in assessing the performance of the business. Consolidated Results of Operations Revenue Revenue for the first quarter of 2021 increased by$6.1...
Leafy head tightness and size are important indices to assessing the economic value of Chinese cabbage [3]. However, the molecular mechanism of leafy head formation in Chinese cabbage remains elusive. The leafy head development of Chinese cabbage is affected by diversity factors, such as ...
Although volume seems likely to be the best trait to use in assessing the relationship between spore size and genome size, it may not be better than one of its component measurements in representing genome size. Nevertheless, volume has value in that it enables size comparison between taxa with...
