Roles of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific competition between two floating plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Parental effects can influence offspring fitness, which may further impact interspecific competition. However, few studies have tested the role of clonal parental effects in regulating interspecific interactions and examined the underlying mechanisms. We

Clonal integration benefits an invader in heterogeneous environments with reciprocal patchiness of resources, but not its native congener

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Many of the world’s most invasive plants are clonal, and clonal functional traits are suggested to contribute to their invasiveness. Clonal integration is one of the most important clonal functional traits, but it is still unclear whether clonal ...

Effects of temporal heterogeneity in nutrient supply on intra- and inter-genet competition of a clonal herb

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2022
Nutrients are often released heterogeneously over time (e.g., in pulses) in natural habitats. Different genotypes of the same plant species may vary in their responses to temporal nutrient heterogeneity so that temporal nutrient heterogeneity may ...

Increasing soil microplastic diversity decreases community biomass via its impact on the most dominant species

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Ecosystems experience strong microplastic pollution and the ecological impacts of microplastic pollution have received increasing attention. While an ecosystem can be contaminated by different numbers of microplastics, no study has tested the impacts of ...

Physical disturbance accelerates carbon loss through increasing labile carbon release

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2020
Labile carbon (C) is a major source of C loss because of its high vulnerability to environmental change. Yet its potential role in regulating soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics remains unclear.

Reproductive Cloning: Can Cloning Harm the Clone? [PDF]

Medical Law Review, 2002
Since the creation of Dolly the sheep was reported in February 1997, the possibility of a cloned child has elicited powerful declarations of condemnation. A widely held view is that cloning a human being would be immoral and ought to be prohibited by legislation.

Growth and Morphological Responses of Duckweed to Clonal Fragmentation, Nutrient Availability, and Population Density

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Connected ramets of aquatic clonal plants are susceptible to fragmentation by disturbance. Such clonal fragmentation may interact with nutrient availability and individual density to affect growth and morphology of aquatic clonal plants.

Cloning a qutrit [PDF]

Journal of Modern Optics, 2002
We investigate several classes of state-dependent quantum cloners for three-level systems. These cloners optimally duplicate some of the four maximally-conjugate bases with an equal fidelity, thereby extending the phase-covariant qubit cloner to qutrits.

Molecular Cloning of Alternative Splicing Variants of the Porcine PML Gene and Its Expression Patterns During Japanese Encephalitis Virus Infection

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Promyelocytic leukemia (PML) protein is a crucial component of PML-nuclear bodies (PML-NBs). PML and PML-NBs are involved in the regulation of various cellular functions, including the antiviral immune response.

Qur’anic Views on Human Cloning (I): Doctrinal and Theological Evidences [PDF]

International Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2021
Background: Human cloning is a recent occurrence that is not confined to bio-issues; rather, it has provoked numerousquestions worldwide and presented scientific and religious challenges. These series of articles aim to examine theproposed approaches and
