CHALLENGES TO COCOA PRODUCTION IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE SPREAD OF PESTS AND DISEASES


Organellar-genome analyses from the lycophyte genus Isoetes L. show one of the highest frequencies of RNA editing in land plants

RNA editing is a post-transcriptional process that challenges the central dogma of molecular biology by modifying RNA sequences, introducing nucleotide changes at specific sites, and generating functional diversity beyond the genomic code, especially when it concerns organellar transcripts.In plants, this phenomenon is widespread, but its extent va

An investigation of how radiation may cause accelerated rates of tropical cyclogenesis and diurnal cycles of convective activity

Recent cloud-resolving numerical modeling results suggest that radiative forcing causes accelerated rates of tropical cyclogenesis and early intensification.Furthermore, observational studies of tropical cyclones have found that oscillations of the cloud canopy areal extent often occur that are clearly related to the solar diurnal cycle.A theory is

Comparative effectiveness of hybrid and laparoscopic techniques for repairing complex incisional ventral hernias: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract Background The recently developed Hybrid Hernia Repair technique (HHR), an adaptation of the laparoscopic method, has been proposed as a potential alternative for the treatment of complex Incisional Ventral Hernias (IVH).While single-arm studies have reported promising outcomes, a comprehensive meta-analysis affirming these benefits is lac
