Human embryonic stem cells display a pronounced sensitivity to the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor Roscovitine

Abstract Background The essentially unlimited expansion potential and the pluripotency of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) make them attractive for cell-based therapeutic purposes.Although hESCs can indefinitely proliferate in culture, unlike transformed cancer cells, they are endowed with a cell-intrinsic property termed mitochondrial priming th

Comparison of the effect of silicon and nano-silicon on some biochemical and photosynthetic traits of Zea mays L. under salinity stress

Salinity stress is one of the factors that threatens the growth and yield of corn.The effects of silicon or nanosilicon on salinity alleviation have been reported in some plants.The effects of foliar application of silicon (inorganic and nanopatricle) on mitigation of the effects of salinity stress on some photosynthetic and biochemical parameters

De Novo Assembly and Phasing of Dikaryotic Genomes from Two Isolates of Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae, the Causal Agent of Oat Crown Rust

ABSTRACT Oat crown rust, caused by the fungus Pucinnia coronata f.sp.avenae, is a devastating disease that impacts worldwide oat production.For much of its life cycle, P.coronata f.sp.avenae is dikaryotic, with two separate haploid nuclei that may vary in virulence genotype, highlighting the importance of understanding haplotype diversity in this s

Comparison of Artificial Intelligence and Physical Models for Forecasting Photosynthetically-Active Radiation

Different kinds of radiative transfer models, including a relative sunshine-based model (BBM), a physical-based model for tropical environment (PBM), an efficient physical-based model (EPP), a look-up-table-based model (LUT), and six artificial intelligence models (AI) were introduced for modeling the daily photosynthetically-active radiation (PAR,
