Genomic data and ecological niche modeling reveal an unusually slow rate of molecular evolution in the Cretaceous Eupteleaceae
Living fossils are evidence of long-term sustained ecological success. However, whether living fossils have little molecular changes remains poorly...

Live slow, die old: larval propagation of slow-growing, stress-tolerant corals for reef restoration
Efforts to restore coral reefs usually involve transplanting asexually propagated fast-growing corals. However, this approach can lead to outplanted...

Mechanism of post-tetanic depression of slow muscle fibres
A brief tetanic stimulation has a very different effect on the subsequent isometric twitch force of fast and slow skeletal muscles. Fast muscle...

Force and kinetics of fast and slow muscle myosin determined with a synthetic sarcomere–like nanomachine
Myosin II is the muscle molecular motor that works in two bipolar arrays in each thick filament of the striated (skeletal and cardiac) muscle,...

Evaluation of Nitrogen Release Characteristics and Enhanced Efficiency of a Novel Synthetic Slow-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer
Slow-release fertilizers are known as the excellent choice to conquer nitrogen losses; however, their slow-release properties and multifunctionality...

Slow growing bacteria survive bacteriophage in isolation
The interactions between bacteria and bacteriophage have important roles in the global ecosystem; in turn changes in environmental parameters affect...

Unveiling synergistic QTLs associated with slow wilting in soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.)
Key messageA stable QTL qSW_Gm10 works with a novel locus, qSW_Gm01 , in a synergistic manner for controlling slow-wilting traits at the early...

Memory reactivation in slow wave sleep enhances relational learning in humans
Sleep boosts the integration of memories, and can thus facilitate relational learning. This benefit may be due to memory reactivation during non-REM...

Imaging Diversity in Slow Axonal Transport
The polarized morphology of neurons necessitates the delivery of proteins synthesized in the soma along the length of the axon to distal synapses;...

Slow release of a synthetic auxin induces formation of adventitious roots in recalcitrant woody plants
Clonal propagation of plants by induction of adventitious roots (ARs) from stem cuttings is a requisite step in breeding programs. A major barrier...

Application of slow-controlled release fertilizer coordinates the carbon flow in carbon-nitrogen metabolism to effect rice quality
Slow-controlled release fertilizers are experiencing a popularity in rice cultivation due to their effectiveness in yield and quality with low...

Genetic map** reveals the complex genetic architecture controlling slow canopy wilting in soybean
In soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.], drought stress is the leading cause of yield loss from abiotic stress in rain-fed US growing areas. Only 10% of...

Rate-induced tip** can trigger plankton blooms
Plankton blooms are complex nonlinear phenomena whose occurrence can be described by the two-timescale (fast-slow) phytoplankton-zooplankton model...

A Novel Slow-Release Fertilizer Derived from Itaconic Acid–Modified Biochar: Synthesis, Characteristics, and Applications in Cucumber Seedlings
The biomass platform compound itaconic acid (IA) has attracted increased attention in agriculture, because IA can promote plant growth and crop...
-
Functional convergence in slow-growing microbial communities arises from thermodynamic constraints
The dynamics of microbial communities is complex, determined by competition for metabolic substrates and cross-feeding of byproducts. Species in the...

Mechanisms of cell size regulation in slow-growing Escherichia coli cells: discriminating models beyond the adder
Under ideal conditions, Escherichia coli cells divide after adding a fixed cell size, a strategy known as the adder . This concept applies to various...

The MuSK-BMP pathway maintains myofiber size in slow muscle through regulation of Akt-mTOR signaling
Myofiber size regulation is critical in health, disease, and aging. MuSK (muscle-specific kinase) is a BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) co-receptor...

Tracing Slow Phenoptosis to the Prenatal Stage in Social Vertebrates
AbstractVladimir Skulachev’s coining of the term “phenoptosis” 25 years ago (Skulachev, V. P., Biochemistry (Moscow) , 62 , 1997) highlighted the...
