This chapter focuses on key characteristics of the desert environment. A desert is a biome that is characterized by low moisture levels and infrequent and unpredictable precipitation. Deserts, also known as arid lands, are regions that gain less precipitation (rain, sleet, or snow) than their ...
25]. Yet, the composition of the microbiome is often investigated only once during plant growth, usually at the time of plant maturity or after disease has already developed. Such approaches make it difficult to disentangle causality between plant health and potentially underlying...
What are the main characteristics of a Tundra ecosystem? What kind of abiotic factors can be found within it?What factors generate the conditions that favor the development of rainforests near the equator?Identify the two major abiotic factors that determine which type of terrestrial biome...
a The PCA-based method implemented in PCAdapt by Luu et al. (2017), and b the FST frequency-based method by Outflank (Whitlock and Lotterhos 2015). Full size image Table 2 Functional annotation and characteristics of outlier SNPs detected as being under selection. Full size table Genotype–...
This is a key similarity between the two groups. However, there are also many differences, such as the presence of a vascular system and the ability to live on land, which are characteristics of land plants but not green algae. Green algae and land plants share a common ancestor and have...
We observed an increased average abundance of Bifidobacteriaceae, a-diversities and total bacterial cell counts, as well as decreased average abundances of Enterobacteriaceae and Staphylococcaceae (Supplementary Fig. 2). Characteristics of the taxonomic composition observed among the samples were clearly...
These are characteristics which have been identified as an escape strategy during the seed–seedling transition in order to overcome stress [43,44]. On the other hand, the absence of intraspecific variability in the seed germination and seedling-emergence measurements of H. chrysotrichus may be ...
The study also used the common tool of dispersion, which is the average square of the deviations of all values of the variable sign from its arithmetic mean. This deviation characterizes the average fluctuations of the sign of the totality caused by individual characteristics of the totality from...

Of 749 patients enrolled globally in KEYNOTE-590 [1], 141 were enrolled in Japan (pembrolizumab–chemotherapy, 74 [52.5%]; placebo–chemotherapy, 67 [47.5%]). Baseline characteristics were generally balanced between treatment groups and have been previously reported [6]. Of the 74 patients assig...
