expanded to angiosperms by multiple host shifts [17]. Host plant expansion might trigger the species diversity of eriophyoid mites during long-term coevolution. Collectively, we herein speculate three key periods reflecting the evolutionary trajectory of eriophyoid mites with host plants (Fig.3): (1...
we assessed whether the candidate-core taxa identified in our pot experiment were relevant in field-grown plants. We found that eleven candidate-core taxa were not represented in field-grown plants, which could result from a range of factors. For example, glasshouses may physically limit the dis...
SRCR-domain containing gene was up-regulated in symbiotic individuals of the spongePetrosia ficiformiscompared to aposymbiotic individuals (i.e., photosymbiont-free), suggesting the involvement of this immune receptor in sponge symbiosis [80]. Moreover, in juveniles ofA. queenslandica, different SRC...
plants, and algae are now considered holobionts, complex ecosystems consisting of the host, the microbiota, and the interactions among them. Accordingly, ecological concepts can be applied to understand the host-derived and microbial processes that...
For seminal root number, the average number of observations per cultivar were 8.5 (out of 10) for the clear pot method for both imaged and extracted seminal root number, while for the pouch method, observations were obtained for 5.5 (out of 6) plants per cultivar (Table 1). The genetic ...
Bing-Jie Ni1, Shane Watts1, Katherine Reid2 & Zhiguo Yuan1 Plug-flow activated sludge reactors (ASR) that are step-feed with wastewater are widely adopted in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) due to their ability to maximise the use of the organic carbon in wastewater for denitrif...
enabling simultaneous drug delivery and therapeutic-diagnostic integration. A recent breakthrough has been achieved by researchers from the University of Queensland and the University of New South Wales. Li et al. developed a strategy for the synthesis of manganese-based layered double hydroxide (Mn-...
At least five types of food products are prepared from roasted barley grain flour:genfo, muk, beso, shamiaandtihlowithgenfo(porridge) andbesobeing more commonly consumed. Barley grain forgenfois partially dehulled using mortar and pestle, and sun-dried or most often lightly roasted to, accordin...
Significant enrichment of metabolic regulation pathways was observed and these included changes to photosynthesis genes. This enrichment is likely to be directly related to the bioassay method, as both treated (inoculated with fungus) and control (sprayed with H2O only) plants were placed in darkness...
Maize plants were harvested 60 days after sowing. The aboveground plant material from each pot was pooled for phosphorus (P) uptake analysis. Plant samples were initially air-dried and then oven-dried at 90 °C for 30 min to halt metabolic activity. Subsequently, they were further dried at ...
