Red light perception by the root is essential for gibberellin-induced primary-root elongation in tomato
Abstract The promoting effect of gibberellin (GA) on primary-root elongation is well- documented in several plant species, yet its influence in others, including tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), remains unclear. The role of GA in primary-root elongation has been studied in tomato using the GA-deficient mutants gib-1 and ga20-oxidase (ga20ox1) and various growth systems, including Dark (D)-root and D-shoot plates.
Regeneration of Impregnated Activated Carbon after Aging
1. Introduction Activated carbon (AC) is an effective adsorbent for organic compounds that exhibit mild or low volatility (e.g., a boiling point greater than 65 °C). To enable adsorption of low-molecular weight gases and volatile organic compounds, such as chlorine, ammonia, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen cyanide (HCN), cyanogen chloride (CK), arsine, and formaldehyde, AC is impregnated with metal additives [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9].
Targeting editing of tomato SPEECHLESS cis-regulatory regions generates plants with altered stomatal density in response to changing climate conditions
Abstract Flexible developmental programs enable plants to customize their organ size and cellular composition. In leaves of eudicots, the stomatal lineage produces two essential cell types, stomata and pavement cells, but the total numbers and ratio of these cell types can vary. Central to this flexibility is the stomatal lineage initiating transcription factor, SPEECHLESS (SPCH).
Phosphate Additives for Aging Inhibition of Impregnated Activated Carbon against Hazardous Gases
1. Introduction Activated carbon (AC) is a form of carbon that has been processed to have a well-developed porous structure, a high surface area, and a high micropore volume available for adsorption. Due to its high degree of microporosity, one gram of activated carbon may have a surface area between 1000 and 2000 m2 or even greater [1]. AC has many commercial uses, including the filtration of noxious gases from the atmosphere.
Evolution of polarity protein BASL and the capacity for stomatal lineage asymmetric divisions
Highlights • BASL is a eudicot-specific regulator of stomatal lineage asymmetric cell divisions • BASL features polarity domains added to an ancestral MAPK-binding chassis • Cellular quiescence and BASL-guided polarity generate stomatal spacing in tomato • Cell size and fate asymmetries are uncoupled in the tomato stomatal lineage Summary Asymmetric and oriented stem cell divisions enable the continued production of patterned tissues.
Smarter risk assessment is key to drive equitable financing for SMBs
As businesses across the nation continue to swim against COVID-19’s economic tsunami, we’re beginning to see a new trend emerge from companies who have fared well (or thrived): social impact financing. This new wave of corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a simple way to drive tangible support outcomes for struggling businesses, rather than recycle vanity-driven charity programs that only serve brand image. The targets for these initiatives?
In a climate of uncertainty, resilience is paramount
Operational resilience, the ability to protect critical operations and core business lines from any hazard, needs to be right at the top of the agenda across the financial services ecosystem. Its importance has been significantly reinforced by the year we have just had. The pandemic brought about massive disruption across the industry, affecting how supply chains function, how customers behave and what customers expect.
7 Biggest Challenges of KYC Monitoring
Many firms have taken the trouble to digitally transform their onboarding, but are wasting eye-watering sums of money and man-hours on inefficient processes when it comes to ongoing monitoring. And yet KYC monitoring is vital to ensure compliance with Money Laundering directives so where does it all go wrong and what can firms do to implement change? Read on to see if our pain points resonate with your business.
Reducing Instant Payment Fraud requires transparency, unity and technology
Society and Law has reached a check point where the new digital world is almost beyond the current laws and banking practises. Let’s take a look at fraud in Faster Payments, UK’s instant payment initiative, which is being replicated in over 50 countries, and soon to become available for cross border payments. Faster payments fraud totalled £330 million in 2019, an annual increase of 30% over 2018. In addition, annual bank investigation costs are estimated at £125 million.
PEP Reset: Take a risk-based approach to Politically Exposed Persons
How risky are Politically Exposed Persons for your financial institution? Financial institutions are required to consider and appropriately manage Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) and their close associates as higher risk customers. They are required to impose strict measures when establishing new business relationships with PEPs and to ensure continual risk evaluation throughout the entire client lifecycle.
