The BADH2 gene acts as suppressor of 2-acetyl-1-pyrolline (2AP) biosynthesis in plants.2AP is the volatile compound which provides fragrance in rice.Biosynthesis of 2AP occurs when BADH2 loses its function as suppressor gene.Aromatic rice cultivars naturally incur mutation of BADH2 gene at 8 bp.In this experiment, aromatic mutant rice lines derived
Sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus intermedius) is an economically important mariculture species in Asia, and its gonads are the only edible part.The efficiency of genetic breeding in sea urchins is hampered due to the inability to distinguish gender by appearance.In this study, we first identified a sex-associated single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)
This research examines the relationship between media tenga flip orb coverage and corporate tax burden in a sample of non-financial Spanish listed firms over the period 2003-2016.We show that media coverage reduces corporate tax burden.Our findings are consistent with a legitimation role for the media in continental Europe, such that firms subject
Computers have become increasingly vulnerable to malicious attacks with an increase in popularity and the proliferation of open system architectures.There are numerous malware detection technologies available to protect the computer operating system from such attacks.This type of malware detector targets programs based on patterns detected in the p
Biocrusts are ecosystem engineers in drylands and structure the landscape through their ecohydrological effects.They regulate soil infiltration and evaporation but also surface water redistribution, providing important resources for vascular vegetation.Spatially-explicit ecohydrological models are useful tools to explore such ecohydrological mechan
