Dependence of ghost on the incident light angle into dichroic mirror.

The dichroic mirror (DM) is a key component in microscope. We found a ghost in the reflection channel of a dual-channel fluorescence microscope and studied the relationship between the ghost and the incidence angle into the DM. The DM emission surface reflection generated ghost if the is not .

Transcriptomic responses of roots in response to polyethylene glycol - 6000 stimulated drought stress.

Drought is the abiotic factor that adversely affects plant growth, development survival, and crop productivity, posing a substantial threat to sustainable agriculture worldwide, especially in warm and dry areas. However, the extent of damage depends upon the crop growth stage, severity and frequency of the stress. In general, the reproductive growth phase is more sensitive to stresses causing a substantial loss in crop productivity.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals a Gene Expression Pattern That Contributes to Sugarcane Bud Propagation Induced by Indole-3-Butyric Acid.

Sugarcane is a cash crop that plays an integral part in the sugar industry. The Sustainable Sugarcane Initiative (SSI) has been adopted globally, ensuring enough and aiming for more yield, helping increase disease-free sugarcane cultivation. Single-bud seeds could be the best approach for sugarcane cultivation.

GmMDE genes bridge the maturity gene E1 and florigens in photoperiodic regulation of flowering in soybean.

Soybean (Glycine max) is highly sensitive to photoperiod, which affects flowering time and plant architecture and thus limits the distribution range of elite soybean cultivars. The major maturity gene E1 confers the most prominent effect on photoperiod sensitivity, but its downstream signaling pathway remains largely unknown. Here, we confirm that the encoded E1 protein is a transcriptional repressor.
