Drought acts as a major abiotic stress that hinders plant growth and crop productivity.It is critical, as such, to discern the molecular response of plants to drought in order to enhance agricultural yields under droughts as they occur with increasing frequency.Pear trees are among the most crucial deciduous fruit trees worldwide, and yet the molec

In the past, we showed that local infection of tobacco leaves with either Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) or Oilseed rape mosaic virus (ORMV) resulted in a systemic increase in the homologous recombination frequency (HRF).Later on, we showed that a similar phenomenon occurs in Arabidopsis thaliana plants infected with ORMV.Here, we tested whether the ti

This paper treats Pan in Boeotia on the basis of the archaeological record.Although often seen as a pastoral god, Canteen it is argued that his presence in grottos and in the Kabirion is due to his being an interstitial deity of the wilds and for this reason an overseer of maturation, a marginal period characterised by wildness.Pan appears mostly i

Biological invasions are most effectively managed when identified in their early stages, which often hinges on robust surveillance programs.The recent invasion of the European grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana) in California suggests that viticultural areas in the western United States may face severe economic consequences from this and other Tortric

Observed associations between events can be validated by statistical information of reliability or by testament of communicative sources.We tested whether toddlers learn from their own observation of efficiency, assessed by statistical information on reliability of interventions, or from communicatively presented demonstration, when these two poten
