New Integrative Vectors Increase Agrobacterium rhizogenes Transformation and Help Characterise Roles for Soybean GmTML Gene Family Members.

Hairy-root transformation is widely used to generate transgenic plant roots for genetic functional characterisation studies. However, transformation efficiency can be limited, largely due to the use of binary vectors. Here, we report on the development of novel integrative vectors that significantly increase the transformation efficiency of hairy roots.

How do midwives learn about, understand, and integrate Cultural Safety into their care of First Nations women and families? A qualitative exploration.

Problem: Midwives are required to provide care based on Cultural Safety for First Nations women and families. Recent literature has suggested that midwives' understanding of Cultural Safety and how it translates into their practice differs widely. This disparity requires further exploration.

Histological Dissection of Fusarium-Banana Interaction Using a GFP-Tagged Subtropical Race 4 Strain of f. sp. on Banana Cultivars with Differing Levels of Resistance.

Fusarium wilt, caused by f. sp. (), poses a significant threat to global banana production.

Soybean nodulation shapes the rhizosphere microbiome to increase rapeseed yield.

Introduction: Crop rotation, a crucial agricultural practice that enhances soil health and crop productivity, is widely used in agriculture worldwide. Soybeans play a crucial role in crop rotation owing to their nitrogen-fixing ability, which is facilitated by symbiotic bacteria in their root systems. The soybean-rapeseed rotation is an effective agricultural practice in the Yangtze River Basin of China.

Six-month-old infants use cross-modal synchrony to identify novel communicative signals.

Humans adopt non-linguistic signals, from smoke signals to Morse code, to communicate. This communicative flexibility emerges early: embedding novel sine-wave tones in a social, communicative exchange permits 6-month-olds to imbue them with communicative status, and to use them in subsequent learning. Here, to specify the mechanism(s) that undergird this capacity, we introduced infants to a novel signal-sine-wave tone sequences-in brief videotaped vignettes with non-human agents, systematically manipulating the socio-communicative cues in each vignette.
