Genome-based reclassification of Xu . 2017 as a later heterotypic synonym of Xu . 2017.

We aimed to elucidate the relationship between and through whole-genome-based analysis. The genome-derived 16S rRNA gene sequences of KCTC 39738 and KCTC 39739 shared a 100% similarity. Phylogenetic trees based on 16S rRNA gene and whole-genome sequences revealed that KCTC 39738 and KCTC 39739 formed a robust clade, indicating a close relationship between them.

Diminishing warming effects on plant phenology over time.

Plant phenology, the timing of recurrent biological events, shows key and complex response to climate warming, with consequences for ecosystem functions and services. A key challenge for predicting plant phenology under future climates is to determine whether the phenological changes will persist with more intensive and long-term warming. Here, we conducted a meta-analysis of 103 experimental warming studies around the globe to investigate the responses of four phenophases - leaf-out, first flowering, last flowering, and leaf coloring.

Systematic Analysis of Smooth Muscle and Cartilage Ring Formation during Mouse Tracheal Tubulogenesis.

The trachea tube is the exclusive route to allow gas exchange between the external environment and the lungs. Recent studies have shown the critical role of mesenchymal cells in tracheal tubulogenesis. Improved methods for studying the dynamics of the tracheal mesenchyme development are needed to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms during tracheal tubulogenesis.

Component Distribution Regulation in Sn-Pb Perovskite Solar Cells through Selective Molecular Interaction.

Tin-lead (Sn-Pb) perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with near-ideal bandgap still lag behind the pure lead PSCs. Disordered heterojunctions caused by inhomogeneous Sn/Pb ratio in the binary perovskite film induce large recombination loss. Here, an Sn-Pb perovskite film is reported with homogeneous component and energy distribution by introducing hydrazine sulfate (HS) in Sn perovskite precursor.

Climate warming interacts with other global change drivers to influence plant phenology: A meta-analysis of experimental studies.

Shifts in plant phenology influence ecosystem structures and functions, yet how multiple global change drivers interact to affect phenology remains elusive. We conducted a meta-analysis of 242 published articles to assess interactions between warming (W) and other global change drivers including nitrogen addition (N), increased precipitation (IP), decreased precipitation (DP) and elevated CO (eCO ) on multiple phenophases in experimental studies. We show that leaf out and first flowering were most strongly affected by warming, while warming and decreased precipitation were the most pronounced drivers for leaf colouring.

Fertilizer-Holding Performance of Graphene on Soil Colloids Based on Double Electric Layer Theory.

Soil nutrient loss, which leads to low plant utilization, has become an urgent issue. Graphene can improve soil fertilizer-holding properties given its small size effect, strong adsorption properties, and large specific surface area. Herein, different amounts of graphene were added to soil samples to study its effect on soil nutrient retention and growth of pepper seedlings.

Variable Bone Phenotypes in Patients with Pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Purpose Of Review: Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a disorder caused by mutations and/or epigenetic changes at the complex GNAS locus. It is characterized by hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and an elevated parathyroid hormone concentration secondary to the resistance of target tissues to the biological actions of parathyroid hormone. PHP is divided into several subtypes with different yet overlapping phenotypes.
