Investigation of the genes controlling flowering in eucalypts is hindered by the lack of an early-flowering genotype. Induction of early flowering was studied in five provenances of Eucalyptus occidentalis Endl. sourced from throughout its geographic range. Seedlings initiated flowers from 13 weeks after sowing when grown under optimal conditions with a 16-h photoperiod. By 16 weeks, seedlings from four widely dispersed provenances had initiated floral buds, suggesting that competence to flower early is a common characteristic of the species. The different provenances displayed considerable variation in seedling growth rate. Elevated levels of CO had no effect on seedling growth rate, but were associated with delayed flowering. Transformation experiments demonstrated that E. occidentalis is susceptible to Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, in common with several other eucalypt species. E. occidentalis may be a valuable experimental species for molecular and other flowering studies in eucalypts.

CYFRA21-1 is a tumor marker for lung cancer, and its rapid and accurate detection can provide evidence for the early diagnosis of lung cancer. In this work, Bi-Fe turnbull blue analogues (Bi-Fe-TBA) were synthesized by the self-templating method. BiO-SFNs was prepared by simple oxidation in air using Bi-Fe-TBA as a template.

Identifying weed species at early-growth stages is critical for precision agriculture. Accurate classification at the species-level enables targeted control measures, significantly reducing pesticide use. This paper presents a dataset of RGB images captured with a Sony ILCE-6300L camera mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flying at an altitude of 11 m above ground level.

Overexpression of general transcription factor OsTFIIB5 in rice affects seedling growth, plant height, flowering time, panicle architecture, and seed protein/starch levels and involves modulation of expression of associated genes. TFIIB, a key general transcription factor (GTF), plays a critical role in pre-initiation complex (PIC) formation and facilitates RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription. In humans and yeast, TFIIB is encoded by a single gene; however, in plants it is encoded by a multigene family whose products may perform specialized transcriptional functions.
