Current increases in not only the intensity and frequency but also the duration of drought events could affect the growth, physiology, and mortality of trees.We Rain Sets experimentally studied the effects of drought duration in combination with fertilization on leaf water potential, gas exchange, growth, tissue levels of non-structural carbohydrat
Two unrecognizable strains of the same bacterial species form a distinct colony boundary.During growth as colonies, Myxococcus xanthus uses multiple factors to establish cooperation between recognized strains and prevent interactions with unrecognized strains of the same species.Here, ΔMXAN_0049 is a mutant strain deficient in immunity for Fir
Free fatty acids (FFAs) are fundamental units of key nutrients.FFAs exert various biological functions, depending on the chain length and degree of desaturation.Recent studies have shown that several FFAs act as ligands of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), activate intracellular signaling and exert physiological functions via these GPCRs.GPR120
