Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) genes are bacteria strains generated from Gram-
positive bacteria and resistant to one of the glycopeptides antibiotics, commonly …

The inhibition of shoot branching by the growing shoot tip of plants, termed apical
dominance, was originally thought to be mediated by auxin. Recently, the importance of the …

Summary Trehalose 6‐phosphate (Tre6P) is a sucrose signalling metabolite that has been
implicated in regulation of shoot branching, but its precise role is not understood. We …

To conserve water in arid environments, numerous plant lineages have independently
evolved Crassulacean Acid Metabolism (CAM). Interestingly, Isoetes, an aquatic lycophyte …

Using existing protocols, RNA extracted from seeds rich in starch often results in poor quality
RNA, making it inappropriate for downstream applications. Though some methods are …

Plant architecture is controlled by several endogenous signals including hormones and
sugars. However, only little information is known about the nature and roles of the sugar …

Shoot branching is regulated by multiple signals. Previous studies have indicated that
sucrose may promote shoot branching through suppressing the inhibitory effect of the …

Detection of surrounding organisms in the environment plays a major role in the evolution of
interspecies interactions, such as predator–prey relationships. Nematode-trapping fungi …

The occurrence of Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) in the aquatic
