SILICON MODIFIES LEAF NUTRIOME AND IMPROVES GROWTH OF OAK SEEDLINGS EXPOSED TO PHOSPHORUS DEFICIENCY AND PHYTOPHTHORA PLURIVORA INFECTION

Silicon modifies leaf nutriome and improves growth of oak seedlings exposed to phosphorus deficiency and Phytophthora plurivora infection

Beneficial effects of silicon (Si) on plants have primarily been studied in crop species under single stress.Moreover, nutrient acquisition-based responses to combination of biotic and abiotic stresses (a common situation in natural habitats) have rarely been reported, in particular in conjunction with soil amendments with Si.Pedunculate oak (Querc

Novel Approaches to Studying SLC13A5 Disease

The role of the sodium citrate transporter (NaCT) SLC13A5 is multifaceted and context-dependent.While aberrant dysfunction leads to neonatal epilepsy, its therapeutic inhibition protects against metabolic disease.Notably, insights regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying these phenomena are limited due to the intricacy and complex

Understanding the Effects of Wind Intensity, Forward Speed, Pressure and Track on Generation and Propagation of Hurricane Irma Surges around Florida

In this study, it is demonstrated that hurricane wind intensity, forward speed, pressure, and track play an important role on the generation and propagation of coastal storm surges.Hurricane Irma, which heavily impacted the entire Florida peninsula in 2017, is used to study the storm surge sensitivity to varying storm characteristics.Results show t
