Rice sheath blight, caused by Rhizoctonia solani AG1-IA, is a major disease in rice-growing areas worldwide.Effectors of phytopathogenic fungi play important roles during the infection process of fungal pathogens onto their host plants.However, the molecular mechanisms by which R.solani effectors regulate rice immunity are not well understood.Throu
With the rapid development of biometric recognition systems, users can be simultaneously enrolled in multiple biometric recognition systems, either with a single or multiple biometric characteristics (e.g., face, voice, etc.).With such a growth of biometric systems, it is important to secure the sensitive information used within these systems.In pa
Water and soil losses Cock Rings from sloping farmlands potentially contribute to water eutrophication and land degradation.However, few studies explored the combined effects of ridge direction and ridge width on surface runoff and soil losses of sloping farmlands.Twenty-seven experimental plots (8 m long and 4 m wide) with nine treatments (three r
Major depressive disorder (MDD) has been associated with abnormal prefrontal-limbic interactions and altered catecholaminergic neurotransmission.The val158met polymorphism on the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene has been shown to influence prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation during both emotional processing and working memory (WM).Although C
In the style of a black feminist roundtable, black girls at LREI (Little Red School House & Elisabeth Irwin High Black Seed Oil School), the famous progressive school from which Angela Davis was graduated in 1961, discuss the ways in which they are leading the #BlackLivesMatter movement by using an intersectional feminist lens to create HYALURIONIC
