which reflects the overall extent of estimation accuracy without direction (see Clifford et al.,2018; Davis & Attard-Johnson,2022; Voelkle et al.,2012). Accuracy is the primary measure of interest in all the tasks reported in the series of studies presented here, and for this reason ...
Moreover, ethylene and its metabolic process are important for activating plant responses to flooding and water deficit [47, 48]. It activates a signal transduction network that culminates in the synthesis of several transcription factors that regulate gene activation/repression during stress, such as...
