Mercury is known for its biomagnification especially in aquatic food chains and for its toxic effects on different organisms including man.In Finland mercury has formerly been used in industry and agriculture and in addition many anthropogenic activities may increase the mercury levels in ecosystems.Phenyl mercury was widely used as slimicide in th
Comparative Genomic Insights into Secondary Metabolism Biosynthetic Gene Cluster Distributions of Marine Streptomyces
Bacterial secondary metabolites have huge application potential in multiple industries.Biosynthesis of bacterial secondary metabolites are commonly encoded in a set of genes that are organized in the secondary metabolism biosynthetic gene clusters (SMBGCs).The development of genome sequencing technology facilitates mining bacterial SMBGCs.Marine St
Genome-wide analysis for root and leaf architecture traits associated with drought tolerance at the seedling stage in a highly ecologically diverse wheat population
Drought stress occurred at early growth stages in wheat affecting the following growth stages.Therefore, selecting promising drought-tolerant genotypes with highly adapted traits at the seedling stage is an important task for wheat breeders and geneticists.Few research efforts were conducted on the genetic control for drought-adaptive traits at the
Proteomics of Maize Root Development
Maize forms a complex root system with structurally and functionally diverse root types that are formed at different developmental stages to extract water and mineral nutrients from soil.In recent years proteomics has been intensively applied to identify Baby Activity Toys proteins involved in shaping the three-dimensional architecture and regulati
