Accelerated global warming is leading to the loss of plant species diversity, and ex situ preservation of seeds is becoming an increasingly important aspect of species conservation.

Meltwater Intrusions Reveal Mechanisms for Rapid Submarine Melt at a Tidewater Glacier [PDF]
Submarine melting has been implicated as a driver of glacier retreat and sea level rise, but to date melting has been difficult to observe and quantify. As a result, melt rates have been estimated from parameterizations that are largely unconstrained by ...

Gene expression patterns in wheat coleorhiza under cold- and biological stratification
This study assessed germination of wheat seeds under cold and biological stratification and determined the expression level of gibberellins (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) genes in coleorhiza.

Kolmogorov cosmic microwave background sky
A new map of the sky representing the degree of randomness in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature has been obtained. The map based on estimation of the Kolmogorov stochasticity parameter clearly distinguishes the contribution of the ...

An Analysis of the Combustion Behavior of Ethanol, Butanol, Iso-Octane, Gasoline, and Methane in a Direct-Injection Spark-Ignition Research Engine [PDF]
Future automotive fuels are expected to contain significant quantities of bio-components. This poses a great challenge to the designers of novel low-CO2 internal combustion engines because biofuels have very different properties to those of most typical ...

Impacts of smoke treatments on germination of cold-stratified seeds in medicinal-rangeland plant Ferula ovina Boiss. (Apiaceae) [PDF]
Ferula ovina Boiss. (Apiaceae) is a perennial rangeland medicinal plant found in the mountainous area of Iran. Due to overexploitation, climate changes in the area, and seed dormancy at time of maturity, the population of this species is being reduced ...

Supergranulation as the largest buoyantly driven convective scale of the Sun [PDF]
Supergranulation is characterized by horizontally divergent flows with typical length scales of 32 Mm in the solar photosphere. Unlike granulation, the size of which is comparable to both the thickness of the radiative boundary layer and local scale ...

Benchmarking Fast-to-Alfven Mode Conversion in a Cold MHD Plasma
Alfv\'en waves may be generated via mode conversion from fast magneto-acoustic waves near their reflection level in the solar atmosphere, with implications both for coronal oscillations and for active region helio-seismology.

Response of the North Atlantic surface and intermediate ocean structure to climate warming of MIS 11 [PDF]
Investigating past interglacial climates not only help to understand how the climate system operates in general, it also forms a vital basis for climate predictions.
