A general definition of epigenetic encompasses “all the processes of phenotypic variation (often due to environmentally driven variation in gene expression) that are inclusively heritable across generations of sexually reproducing organisms and that are not due to variation in DNA sequence of nucleotides...
Due to the large spatio-temporal variability of environmental factors, SR varied among different vegetation types, thereby impeding accurate estimation of CO_2 emissions via SR. However, studies on spatio-temporal variation of SR are still scarce for semi-arid regions of North China. In this ...
2l, m). Additional confirmation was obtained by using infrared thermal imaging to visualize the surface temperature of detached leaves, in which the leaf surface temperature of the overexpression lines was lower due to more water loss than that of the WT and knockout lines before dehydration ...
namely: monoterpenes (C10), sesquiterpenes (C15), diterpenes (C20), triterpenes (C30), and tetraterpenes (C40). Due to their low molecular weight, mono- and sesquiterpenes are highly
S2). Only 15 tumours (8.3%) presented with at least one insertion, which may be due to the limitations of insertion detection using short-read next generation sequencing data [19]. We found duplication events to have the greatest variability by count and relative frequency among the ethnic ...
Pore structure of cement paste was coarsened when the moisture content was high. • Pore structure of mortar was coarsened regardless of moisture content. • Mechanism of coarsening of pore structure due to collision was proposed. Abstract In some numerical simulations of collisions on concrete, ...
It was found that even small variations in layer thicknesses influenced the accuracy of the backcalculated moduli to a significant extent. Where the subgrade depth was considered to be variable, the backcalculation error due to small variations in layer thicknesses was at least 5%. For the ...
due to hybrid inferiority and negative epistasis in admixed genomes, but it may also be beneficial and fuel adaptive diversification and speciation by facilitating novel combinations of alleles that become targets of divergent selection (Arnold & Meyer,2006; Berner & Salzburger,2015; Fontaine et al....
Drought drastically restricts wheat production, so to dissect allelic variations of drought tolerant genes without imposing trade-offs between tolerance and yield is essential to cope with the circumstance. Here, we identify a drought tolerant WD40 prote
The Canadian National Data Center (CNDC) reported that Lg has been the main source of damage during large earthquakes in the Eastern Canada, due to the large amplitude, long durations and relatively low attenuation of Lg in this region. In this study, we map spatial variation of the Q Lg...
