An Indoor Screening Method for Reduced Fall Dormancy in Alfalfa
Fall dormancy (FD) is a determinant component of alfalfa yield in northern climate, but selection for that trait is often done at the expense of freezing tolerance. Field selection for low dormancy is a tedio...

Impact of Storage Time on the Juice and Sugars Extracted from Chopped and Whole Stalk Sweet Pearl Millet and Sweet Sorghum Biomass
Since they have a high concentrations of fermentable sugars, sweet pearl millet and sweet sorghum are two interesting crops for bioethanol production. However, if the juice is not extracted from the biomass im...

Loss of dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons accounts for the motivational and affective deficits in Parkinson’s disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the degeneration of dopaminergic (DA) neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) that is thought to cause the classical motor symptoms of this disease. However, motiv...

Cd-induced phytochelatin synthesis in Dittrichia viscosa (L.) Greuter is determined by the dilution of the culture medium
In this paper, we examined Cd accumulation and PC synthesis in two clones of Dittrichia viscosa, one with a metallicolous (DV-A) and the other with a non-metallicolous origin (DV-W). The clones were cultured in v...

Modes of orogen-parallel stretching and extensional exhumation in response to microplate indentation and roll-back subduction (Tauern Window, Eastern Alps)
The Tauern Window exposes a Paleogene nappe stack consisting of highly metamorphosed oceanic (Alpine Tethys) and continental (distal European margin) thrust sheets. In the eastern part of this window, this nap...

Iron ore weathering potentials of ectomycorrhizal plants
Plants in association with soil microorganisms play an important role in mineral weathering. Studies have shown that plants in symbiosis with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi have the potential to increase the upta...

Mobilisation of potassium and phosphorus from iron ore by ectomycorrhizal fungi
Mutualistic roles of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi have been linked to their ability to produce organic acids that aid in the dissolution of insoluble minerals in the rhizosphere. This ability of ECM fungi was u...
