Six DNA regions were evaluated as potential DNA barcodes for Fungi, the second largest
kingdom of eukaryotic life, by a multinational, multilaboratory consortium. The region of the …

Introduction The kingdom Fungi is one of the most diverse groups of organisms on Earth,
and they are integral ecosystem agents that govern soil carbon cycling, plant nutrition, and …

Rapeseed (Brassica napus) is the second most important oilseed crop in the world but the
genetic diversity underlying its massive phenotypic variations remains largely unexplored. …

Seed oil content (SOC) is a highly important and complex trait in oil crops. Here, we
decipher the genetic basis of natural variation in SOC of Brassica napus by genome- and …

Intensive mechanical milling was used to make MgH 2 –Tm (Tm=3d-transition elements Ti, V,
Mn, Fe, Ni) nanocomposite powders. The hydrogen storage properties of these composite …

Cells are organized on length scales ranging from ångström to micrometres. However, the
mechanisms by which ångström-scale molecular properties are translated to micrometre-…

Machinery prognostics is one of the major tasks in condition based maintenance (CBM),
which aims to predict the remaining useful life (RUL) of machinery based on condition …

Antigen stimulation of immune cells activates the transcription factor NFAT, a key regulator
of T cell activation and anergy. NFAT forms cooperative complexes with the AP-1 family of …

Nanocrystalline infrared-to-visible up-conversion phosphors, ytterbium and erbium co-doped
sodium yttrium fluoride, were synthesized. Spherical particles with narrow size distribution …

Clinical applications of current photodynamic therapy (PDT) agents are often limited by their
low singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) quantum yields, as well as by photobleaching and poor …
