Photosynthetic organisms have evolved to modulate their metabolism to accommodate the highly dynamic light and nutrient conditions in nature. In this review we discuss ways in which the green alga ...

Rocky planets are thought to comprise compounds of Mg and O as these are among the most abundant elements, but knowledge of their stable phases may be incomplete. MgO is known to be remarkably stable ...

The root functions as the physical anchor of the plant and is the organ responsible for uptake of water and mineral nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfate and trace elements that plants ...

Molecular assembly indices, which measure the number of unique sequential steps theoretically required to construct a three-dimensional molecule from its constituent atomic bonds, have been proposed ...

As evidenced by isotope geochemistry, the persistence of primitive reservoirs indicates that the earth's lower mantle is likely to be heterogeneous. Such heterogeneity could be a legacy from ...

Chromosome segregation, transcriptional regulation, and repair of DNA double- strand breaks require the cohesin protein complex. Cohesin holds the replicated chromosomes ( sister chromatids) together ...

A 75 kW, 915 MHz microwave plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition system was adapted and utilized to scale up production of high-quality single-crystal diamonds at high growth rates. A 300 mm ...
