CHROMOSOME SEGREGATION IN PLANT MEIOSIS

Chromosome segregation in plant meiosis

Faithful chromosome segregation in meiosis is essential for ploidy stability over sexual life cycles.In plants, defective chromosome segregation caused by gene mutations or other factors leads to the formation of unbalanced or unreduced gametes creating aneuploid or polyploid progeny, respectively.Accurate segregation requires the coordinated execu

The contributions of ammonia oxidizing bacteria and archaea to nitrification-dependent N2O emission in alkaline and neutral purple soils

Abstract Nitrification is believed to be one of the primary processes of N2O emission in the agroecological system, which is controlled by soil microbes and mainly regulated by soil pH, oxygen content and NH4 + availability.Previous studies have proved that the relative contributions of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (AOA) to N2O prod

Comparison of Standard Light Water Reactor Cross-Section Libraries using the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Boiling Water Reactor Benchmark Problem

This paper describes a comparison of contemporary and historical light water reactor shielding and pressure vessel dosimetry cross-section libraries for a boiling water reactor calculational benchmark problem.The calculational benchmark problem was developed at Brookhaven National Laboratory by the request of the U.S.Nuclear Regulatory Commission.T
