IN DORMANT RED RICE SEEDS, THE INHIBITION OF EARLY SEEDLING GROWTH, BUT NOT OF GERMINATION, REQUIRES EXTRACELLULAR ABA

In Dormant Red Rice Seeds, the Inhibition of Early Seedling Growth, but Not of Germination, Requires Extracellular ABA

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) inhibits seed germination and seedling growth and is required for the inception of dormancy.Xanthoxal (also known as xanthoxin) is the first specific biosynthetic precursor of ABA.In this study, a modified method to produce xanthoxal is described.I tested the ability of either xanthoxal or ABA to reinstate dorma

Acquisition and dissemination of cephalosporin-resistant E. coli in migratory birds sampled at an Alaska landfill as inferred through genomic analysis

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial pathogens threatens global health, though the spread of AMR bacteria and AMR genes between humans, animals, and the environment is still largely unknown.Here, we investigated the role of wild birds in the epidemiology of AMR Escherichia coli.Using next-generation sequencing, we characterized ceph
