THE GOTLANDIC BOX BROOCH FROM FYRKAT GRAVE IV

The Gotlandic box brooch from Fyrkat grave IV

This study of the box-shaped brooch uses experimental archaeology in an attempt to gain more information about how these combination brooches were made.Some misunderstandings are addressed concerning the Fyrkat box brooch and Viking Age bronze casting in general.When trying to recreate the brooch, the four knot-shaped animals cast as one with the b

Coordination of canonical and noncanonical Hedgehog signalling pathways mediated by WDR11 during primordial germ cell development

Abstract WDR11, a gene associated with Kallmann syndrome, is important in reproductive system development but molecular understanding of its action remains incomplete.We previously reported that Wdr11-deficient embryos exhibit defective ciliogenesis and developmental defects associated with Hedgehog (HH) signalling.Here we demonstrate that WDR11 is

Small RNA profiling of Cavendish banana roots inoculated with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense race 1 and tropical race 4

Abstract Fusarium wilt, caused by the soil-borne fungal pathogen, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.cubense (Foc), is considered as one of the most threatening diseases of banana.The Cavendish variety, resistant to Foc race 1 (R1), is susceptible to tropical race 4 (TR4), an aggressive race of the pathogen which is of increasing concern worldwide.Previous st

Comparative Yield and Photosynthetic Characteristics of Two Corn (Zea mays L.) Hybrids Differing in Maturity under Different Irrigation Treatments

Effective irrigation strategies are of great significance for improving crop yields.There is an increasing concern that short-season corn hybrids are gradually being encouraged to plant in the North China Plain (NCP) with the development of mechanized grain harvesting, but the photosynthetic characteristics and productivity of short-season hybrids
