Winter oilseed rape (WOSR, L.) is the third largest oil crop worldwide that also provides a source of high quality plant-based proteins. Nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) play a key role in plant growth.

- - Different dental schools use various methods to evaluate final assessments, commonly relying on objective structured clinical examinations or multiple long cases to measure applied knowledge and skills.
- - As the education landscape evolves, it's crucial to reconsider which skills should be evaluated and how, focusing on attributes that define a qualified dentist, like effective communication and case management.
- - A new dynamic assessment approach has been introduced, featuring interactive scenarios with shifting clinical situations, designed to better evaluate essential skills such as communication, clinical reasoning, and professionalism among graduates.
Phenomic prediction implemented on a large diversity set can efficiently predict seed germination, capture low-effect favorable alleles that are not revealed by GWAS and identify promising genetic resources. Oilseed rape faces many challenges, especially at the beginning of its developmental cycle. Achieving rapid and uniform seed germination could help to ensure a successful establishment and therefore enabling the crop to compete with weeds and tolerate stresses during the earliest developmental stages.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTardigrades withstand ionizing irradiation levels ∼500 times higher than humans can tolerate. Two recent papers shed light on how this might be achieved - via the transcriptional induction of DNA repair genes, the induction of a radioprotective DNA-binding protein, and possibly also the heightened capacity of repair proteins.
