Reciprocal expression of MADS-box genes and DNA methylation reconfiguration initiate bisexual cones in spruce
The naturally occurring bisexual cone of gymnosperms has long been considered a possible intermediate stage in the origin of flowers, but the...

Efficacy of calcium hypochlorite in disinfection of gutta-percha cones contaminated with Candida albicans
This study aimed to compare the efficacy of 2.5% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), 2.5% calcium hypochlorite [Ca(OCl) 2 ], and 2% chlorhexidine (CHX) in the...

Effects of electromagnetic waves on the moisture content of cones and the quality of extracted seeds in the Norway spruce and European larch
The publication describes research investigating the effects of microwaves on seeds extracted from Norway spruce ( Picea abies ) and European larch ( Lar...

Wood-rotting fungi on Pinus kesiya trees, woody debris and cones from East Khasi Hills, Meghalaya
A total of thirty-five wood-rotting fungi were documented from living Pinus kesiya trees, woody debris and cones. Wood-rotting fungi inhabiting P . kesiya...

Comparative study of PRPH2 D2 loop mutants reveals divergent disease mechanism in rods and cones
Mutations in the photoreceptor-specific tetraspanin gene peripherin-2 ( PRPH2 ) lead to widely varying forms of retinal degeneration ranging from...

Microstrobilinia castrans, a new genus and species of the Sclerotiniaceae parasitizing pollen cones of Picea spp.
The fungal pathogens of spruce are well known in Europe and elsewhere. Therefore, it was surprising to discover a new fungal species and genus in...

InSegtCone: interactive segmentation of crystalline cones in compound eyes
BackgroundUnderstanding the diversity of eyes is crucial to unravel how different animals use vision to interact with their respective environments....

Single-cell RNA sequencing of the retina in a model of retinitis pigmentosa reveals early responses to degeneration in rods and cones
BackgroundIn inherited retinal disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP), rod photoreceptor-specific mutations cause primary rod degeneration that...

Investigation of some physical and thermal insulation properties of honeycomb-designed panels produced from Calabrian pine bark and cones
Waste of the forestry and forest products industry, such as pine bark and pine cones, is an important problem for logging, lumbering and paper...

3,4-Secocycloartane Triterpenoids from the Cones of Pseudolarix amabilis
AbstractFour new 3,4-secocycloartane triterpenoids, pseudolactones A–D ( 1 – 4 ), were isolated from the ethanol extract of the cones of Pseudol...

Helpers are associated with increased nest attentiveness and more constant egg temperatures in chestnut-crowned babblers
AbstractThe impacts that helpers have on offspring in cooperative breeding systems depend on parental responses to help. However, the vast majority...

New insights into the retinal microstructure-diurnal activity relationship in the African five-lined skink (Trachylepis quinquetaeniata) (Lichtenstein, 1823)
BackgroundThe retinae of diurnal vertebrates have characteristics. Most lizards are strictly diurnal, and their retinal morphology is still unknown.

Ancestral photoreceptor diversity as the basis of visual behaviour
Animal colour vision is based on comparing signals from different photoreceptors. It is generally assumed that processing different spectral types of...

Cone and fruit impacts on understory flammability depend on traits and forest floor coverage
BackgroundUnderstory flammability is affected by abscised plant tissue. Extensive research has shown how interspecific differences in leaf litter...

Decomposition of Cones and Woody Litter
Wood is a major component of forest biomass but woody litter has been difficult to study because of its enormous range in size and its temporally...

Environmental plasticity in opsin expression due to light and thyroid hormone in adult and develo** Astatotilapia burtoni
Cichlid fishes show remarkable variation in visual sensitivities through differential expression of seven cone opsin genes. Many species undergo...

The hops (Humulus lupulus) genome contains a mid-sized terpene synthase family that shows wide functional and allelic diversity
BackgroundHops ( Humulus lupulus L.) are a dioecious climbing perennial, with the dried mature “cones” (strobili) of the pistillate/female...

Molecular basis of retinal remodeling in a zebrafish model of retinitis pigmentosa
A hallmark of inherited retinal degenerative diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is progressive structural and functional remodeling of the...

Automatic Navigation of Pesticide Spraying Vehicle for Orchard Tree Trunk Detection
Traditional Japanese orchards use nets to limit the height of fruit trees to make it convenient for farmers, but the low and dense branches are not...
