THERE IS NO CARBON TRANSFER BETWEEN SCOTS PINE AND PINE MISTLETOE BUT THE ASSIMILATION CAPACITY OF THE HEMIPARASITE IS CONSTRAINED BY HOST WATER USE UNDER DRY CONDITIONS

Pine mistletoe is a hemiparasitic shrub that can produce its own photosynthates.There is a lack of knowledge about the interaction of mistletoe and host under varying environmental condition that might influence carbon gain and allocation.In a 13C-pulse labeling experiment with mature Pinus sylvestris (pine) infected by mistletoes grown in Caps nat

Background: Ciliary body size may be objectively assessed by ultrasound scanning and near-infrared transpalpebral transillumination.Purpose: To investigate the dimensions of ciliary body structures in various axial eye lengths in patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).Materials and Methods: This study included 35 RRD patients (35 eye

During development of biological organisms, multiple complex structures are formed.In many instances, these structures need to exhibit a high degree of order to be functional, although many of their constituents are intrinsically stochastic.Hence, it has been suggested that biological robustness ultimately must rely on complex gene regulatory netwo

In recent years, the Port of Accessory Bag Topolobampo, Sinaloa, Mexico, has experienced unusual free sea surface elevations, particularly during the months of November and December, affecting the shipyard areas, service docks, and berthing locations.This study focuses on analyzing the oscillatory behavior of free surface elevations in shipyard reg
