Article Synopsis
  • Previous studies indicate that Republicans generally have lower risk perceptions regarding COVID-19 compared to Democrats, prompting an investigation into whether this difference has persisted throughout the pandemic.
  • Using data from the Understanding America Study's survey, researchers found that Republicans have increasingly reduced their perceived risks for everyday activities more than Democrats, while vaccinated Democrats have significantly lowered their perceived risks of severe COVID-19 outcomes more than vaccinated Republicans.
  • These findings suggest that the differing risk perceptions between the two political groups could hinder efforts by leaders to transition away from pandemic-related politics and return to normalcy.

The activities of key C(4) enzymes in gel-filtered, whole-leaf extracts and the photosynthetic characteristics for reciprocal F(1) hybrids of Flaveria pringlei (C(3)) and F. brownii (C(4)-like species) were measured to determine whether any inherited C(4)-photosynthetic traits are responsible for their reduced CO(2) compensation concentration values (AS Holaday, S Talkmitt, ME Doohan Plant Sci 41: 31-39). The activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, pyruvate, orthophosphate dikinase, and NADP-malic enzyme (ME) for the reciprocal hybrids are only about 7 to 17% of those for F.
