MOLECULAR CHARACTERIZATION OF ORGANIC MATTER MOBILIZED FROM BANGLADESHI AQUIFER SEDIMENT: TRACKING CARBON COMPOSITIONAL CHANGE DURING MICROBIAL UTILIZATION

Molecular characterization of organic matter mobilized from Bangladeshi aquifer sediment: tracking carbon compositional change during microbial utilization

Bioavailable organic carbon in aquifer recharge waters and sediments can fuel microbial reactions with implications for groundwater quality.A previous incubation experiment showed that sedimentary organic carbon (SOC) mobilized off sandy sediment collected from an arsenic-contaminated and methanogenic aquifer in Bangladesh was bioavailable; it was

Evaluation of phosphate rock as the only source of phosphorus for the growth of tall and semi-dwarf durum wheat and rye plants using digital phenotyping

Background Phosphorus nutrition is important for obtaining high yields of crop plants.However, wheat plants are known to be almost incapable of taking up phosphorus from insoluble phosphate sources, and reduced height genes are supposed to decrease this ability further.Methods We performed a pot experiment using Triticum durum Desf.tall spring vari

Soret-Dufour Effects on Hydromagnetic Non-Darcy Convective-Radiative Heat and Mass Transfer over a Stretching Sheet in Porous Medium with Viscous Dissipation and Ohmic Heating

The present study is devoted to investigate the effects of Soret and Dufour on the mixed convection flow, heat and mass transfer over a stretching sheet in the presence of viscous dissipation, Ohmic heating, thermal L-theanine radiation in porous medium.Numerical solutions for the coupled governing equations are obtained by using the fifth-order Ru

Changes in both trans- and cis-regulatory elements mediate insecticide resistance in a lepidopteron pest, Spodoptera exigua.

The evolution of insect resistance to insecticides is frequently associated with overexpression of one or more cytochrome P450 enzyme genes.Although overexpression of CYP450 genes is a well-known mechanism of insecticide resistance, the underlying regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood.Here we uncovered the mechanisms of overexpression of the
