BASIC HELIX-LOOP-HELIX TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS AABHLH2 AND AABHLH3 FUNCTION ANTAGONISTICALLY WITH AAMYC2 AND ARE NEGATIVE REGULATORS IN ARTEMISININ BIOSYNTHESIS

Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Transcription Factors AabHLH2 and AabHLH3 Function Antagonistically With AaMYC2 and Are Negative Regulators in Artemisinin Biosynthesis

Plants have evolved sophisticated systems for regulating the biosynthesis of specialized phytochemicals.Artemisinin, which is a sesquiterpene lactone widely used in anti-malaria treatment, is produced by the Artemisia annua L.plant.However, the artemisinin content in A.annua is low and difficult to meet market demands.Studies have shown that artemi

A Generalized Model of Complex Allometry I: Formal Setup, Identification Procedures and Applications to Non-Destructive Estimation of Plant Biomass Units

(1) Background: We previously demonstrated that customary regression protocols for curvature in geometrical space all derive from a generalized model of complex allometry combining scaling parameters expressing as continuous functions of covariate.Results highlighted the relevance of addressing suitable complexity in enhancing the accuracy of allom

Mercury bioaccumulation in the Mediterranean

This study details mercury pollution within the food chain of the Mediterranean by analysing the most comprehensive mercury dataset available for biota and water measurements.In this study we computed a bioaccumulation factor (BAF) for datasets in the existing mercury-related scientific literature, in on-going programs, and in past measurement camp
