A carotenoid-derived hormonal signal that inhibits shoot branching in plants has long
escaped identification. Strigolactones are compounds thought to be derived from …

Among the high-performance non-oxide ceramics, silicon carbide (SiC) and nitride (Si3N4)
offer unique potentialities as thermomechanical materials due to their stiffness and …

Strigolactone plant hormones control plant architecture and are key players in both
symbiotic and parasitic interactions. They contain an ABC tricyclic lactone connected to a …

The neutralization epitope (s) of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) was studied by an in vitro
neutralization assay using antibodies obtained by immunization of mice with 51 overlapping …

Initially known for their role in the rhizosphere in stimulating the seed germination of
parasitic weeds such as the Striga and Orobanche species, and later as host recognition …

Background Orthotopic liver transplantation can be associated with haemorrhage,
particularly in patients with severe liver dysfunction. We assessed the value of rotation …

Strigolactone (SL) mutants in diverse species show reduced stature in addition to their
extensive branching. Here, we show that this dwarfism in pea (Pisum sativum) is not …

Novel polycarbosilazanes (PCSZs) were prepared by stepwise synthesis and thermal
crosslinking of polysilasilazane (PSSZ) copolymers. Their pyrolysis under inert gas …
