Poplars are worldwidely cultivated with ecologically and economically important value.Populus alba var.pyramidalis (= P.bolleana) is a main tree of the farmland shelter-belt system in the arid region of Northwest China due to its rapid growth, erect stems, and high biomass production.However, the full-length messenger RNA (mRNA) sequences and compl
Distance estimating algorithm based on gradient neighbors in wireless sensor networks
A modified distance-estimating algorithm DV-GNN was presented to improve the precision of indirect dis- tance measuring in wireless sensor networks, theoretical basis was analyzed, and implementing process was given.With the help of gradient igora vibrance 6-12 neighbors, the resolving power of distance estimating was increased from effective radio
Multiple intrinsic and extrinsic drivers influence the quantity and quality components of seed dispersal effectiveness in the rare shrub Lindera subcoriacea.
Information about seed dispersal effectiveness (SDE) for plant species of conservation concern is rarely available to inform management strategies and actions.For Lindera subcoriacea (bog spicebush, Lauraceae), a rare endemic dioecious shrub of the southeastern United States, we examined the influence of two intrinsic and five extrinsic drivers on
Parental legacy in insects: variation of transgenerational immune priming during offspring development.
In insects, a parental immune challenge can prepare and enhance offspring immune activity.Previous studies of such transgenerational immune priming (TGIP) mainly focused on a single offspring life stage.However, different developmental stages may be exposed to different risks and show different susceptibility to parental immune priming.Here we addr
