Studies on types and impacts of crime have indicated that crime and violent acts do occur on public lands and have negative consequences for managers of those lands and recreation visitors. It is important, then, to evaluate how to reduce or eliminate crime and violent acts on public lands. To...
BACKGROUND: Circadian clocks provide an adaptive advantage through anticipation of daily and seasonal environmental
changes. In plants, the central clock oscillator is regulated by several interlocking feedback loops. It was shown that a
substantial proportion of the Arabidopsis genome cycles with phases of peak expression covering the entire day.
Synchronized...
New sources of genetic diversity must be incorporated into plant breeding programs if they are to continue increasing grain
yield and quality, and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Germplasm collections provide a source of genetic and
phenotypic diversity, but characterization of these resources is required to increase their utility...
