MICRO-RNA-REGULATED SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-LIKE (SPL) GENE EXPRESSION AND CYTOKININ ACCUMULATION DISTINGUISH EARLY-DEVELOPING MALE AND FEMALE INFLORESCENCES IN OIL PALM (ELAEIS GUINEENSIS)

Sexual differentiation of inflorescences and flowers is important for reproduction and affects crop plant productivity.We report here on a molecular study of the process of sexual differentiation in the immature inflorescence of oil palm (Elaeis guineensis).This species is monoecious and exhibits gender diphasy, producing male and female infloresce

This study employs numerical simulations based on the limit analysis (LA) method to calculate the stress distribution in a model that includes a basal detachment, featuring the lateral termination of a generic fault under compression.We conduct 2500 2D and 500 3D simulations with varying basement and fault friction angles to analyze and classify th

Abstract Background Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm-associated bacterial infection is the primary cause of nosocomial infection and has long been an ongoing threat to public health.MRSA biofilms are often resistant to multiple antimicrobial strategies, mainly due to the existence of a compact protective barrier; thus, pro

Theoretical arguments suggest that increased plant productivity may not only increase consumer densities but also their fluctuations.While increased consumer densities are commonly observed in fertilization experiments, experiments are seldom performed at a spatial and temporal scale where effects on population fluctuations may be observed.In this

A variety of algorithms allows gesture recognition in video sequences.Alleviating the need for interpreters is of interest to hearing impaired people, since it allows Bags - Wallets a great degree of self-sufficiency in communicating their intent to the non-sign language speakers without the need for interpreters.State-of-theart in currently used a
