Lesion mimic (Lm) mutants display hypersensitive responses (HR) Gift Wrap without any pathogen attack; their symptoms are similar to those produced by a pathogen and result in cell death.In wheat, such mutants have been reported to be resistant against leaf rust due to their biotrophic nature.However, Lm mutants tend to encourage spot blotch (SB) d
Improvements in technology have made it possible to conduct genome-wide association mapping at costs within reach of academic investigators, and experiments are currently being conducted with a variety of high-throughput platforms.To provide an appropriate context for interpreting results of such studies, we summarize here results of an investigati
The question of how self-driving cars should behave in dilemma situations has recently attracted a lot of attention in science, media and society.A growing number of publications amass insight into the factors underlying the choices we make in such situations, often using forced-choice paradigms closely linked to the trolley dilemma.The methodology
A complex approach combining atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) and thermodynamic simulations was applied to predict segregation in binary Au-Ag nanoparticles consisting of 2000 atoms Bags (of about 4 nm in size).Both approaches predict the surface segregation of Ag to the surface of Au-Ag nanoalloys.Besides, Au-Ag nanoparticles demonstrated an onio
