SMALL RNAS, DEGRADOME, AND TRANSCRIPTOME SEQUENCING PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO PAPAYA FRUIT RIPENING REGULATED BY 1-MCP

Small RNAs, Degradome, and Transcriptome Sequencing Provide Insights into Papaya Fruit Ripening Regulated by 1-MCP

As an inhibitor of ethylene receptors, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) can delay the ripening of papaya.However, improper 1-MCP treatment will cause a rubbery texture in papaya.Understanding of the underlying mechanism is still lacking.In the present work, a comparative sRNA analysis was conducted after different 1-MCP treatments and identified a tota

Microbe-mineral interactions in the Plastisphere: Coastal biogeochemistry and consequences for degradation of plastics

Microbe-mineral interactions, such as mineral substrate utilization and aggregate formation, have played a key role in the cycling of elements through Earth evolution.In water, soils, and sediment biogeochemistry modulates microbial community composition and mineral formation over spatial and temporal scales.Plastic is a new material that is now wi

Reflex of the Gracilis in Brain Death

In patients with brain death, reflex movements originating from spinal reflexes are observed intermittently.Generally, they can occur under hypoxic stimuli such as when the ventilator is removed, under physical stimuli such as bending the neck, or under hypotension.Finger- and toe-jerk responses are commonly observed reflex movements that can occur
