SAPROPHYTIC INTRACELLULAR RHIZOBIA IN ALFALFA NODULES

Saprophytic Intracellular Rhizobia in Alfalfa Nodules

In indeterminate alfalfa nodules, the establishment of the senescent zone IV, in which both symbionts undergo simultaneous degeneration, SOCKS has been considered, until now, as the end point of the symbiotic interaction.However, we now describe an additional zone, zone V, proximal to the senescent zone IV and present in alfalfa nodules more than 6

Caring or daring? Exploring the impact of facial masculinity/femininity and gender category information on first impressions.

In two studies we disentangled and systematically investigated the impact of subtle facial cues to masculinity/femininity and gender category information on first impressions.Participants judged the same unambiguously male and female target persons-either with masculine or feminine facial features slightly enhanced-regarding stereotypically masculi

Cecal Microbiome Analyses on Wild Japanese Rock Ptarmigans (Lagopus muta japonica) Reveals High Level of Coexistence of Lactic Acid Bacteria and Lactate-Utilizing Bacteria

Preservation of indigenous gastrointestinal microbiota is critical for successful captive breeding of endangered wild animals, yet its biology is poorly understood.Here, we compared the cecal microbial composition of wild living Japanese rock ptarmigans (Lagopus muta japonica) in different locations of Japanese Tracksuit Bottoms mountains, and the

Global Scale Inversions from MOPITT CO and MODIS AOD

Top-down observational constraints on emissions flux estimates from satellite observations of chemical composition are subject to biases and errors stemming from transport, chemistry and prior emissions estimates.In this context, we developed an ensemble data assimilation system to optimize the initial conditions for carbon monoxide (CO) and aeroso
