Arabidopsis ubiquitin ligase PUB41 positively regulates ABA-mediated seed dormancy and drought response.

Unlabelled: Seed germination is a tightly regulated, non-reversible developmental process, and it is crucial to prevent premature germination under conditions that may not allow the plant's life cycle to be completed. The plant hormone ABA is the key regulator of seed dormancy and inhibition of germination. ABA is also involved in the plant response to drought.

Ocular Torsion in Children with Horizontal Strabismus or Orthophoria.

Purpose: To report the rate of ocular torsion in children with horizontal strabismus or orthophoria.

Methods: A retrospective study design was used. Nineteen children were included in the study, including seven girls, aged 4-16 years.

OAM-resolved polarization in random light beams.

We establish the properties of the cross-spectral density orbital angular momentum (CSD-OAM) matrix of a stationary optical beam-like field and use them to introduce the OAM-resolved polarization properties. It is shown that sufficiently general random fields contain two types of polarization, one relating to a single OAM mode and the other to a pair of modes.

Coherence-orbital angular momentum matrix of non-uniformly correlated sources.

The structure of the coherence-orbital angular momentum (OAM) matrix of a scalar, non-uniformly correlated source is revealed and its relation with the degree of coherence is established. It is shown that while this source class has a real-valued coherence state, it possesses a rich OAM correlation content and highly controllable OAM spectrum. In addition, the degree of OAM purity based on the information entropy measure is employed for, we believe, the first time, and is shown to be controlled by the choice of location and variance of the correlation center.
