The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Explicit Beliefs About Nonverbal Behavior and the Big Five Traits

Journal of Personality, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Everyday experience as well as the research literature on trait attributions suggest that people use nonverbal cues when judging the personality of a person. However, little research has reported on people's explicitly held beliefs about these associations.

Enhancing Tolerance to Combined Heat and Drought Stress in Cool‐Season Grain Legumes: Mechanisms, Genetic Insights, and Future Directions

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of concurrent heat and drought stress poses a significant challenge to agricultural productivity, particularly for cool‐season grain legumes, including broad bean (Vicia Faba L.), lupin (Lupinus spp.), lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.), pea (Pisum sativum L ...

Extremism at the center: Uncovering political diversity among midpoint responders on the left–right self‐placement item

Political Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract The midpoint of the left‐right self‐placement item is hiding important political diversity, and may be conflating moderate responders with populists and other political sub‐groups. Survey researchers should consider this problem when examining relationships between political orientation and political attitudes.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of Calcium-Dependent Protein Kinase (CDPK) gene family in autotetraploid cultivated alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp. sativa) and expression analysis under abiotic stresses

BMC Plant Biology
Background Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs), play multiple roles in plant development, growth and response to bio- or abiotic stresses. Calmodulin-like domains typically contain four EF-hand motifs for Ca²⁺ binding.

Multifaceted Assessment of the Relationship Between FDI and Sustainable Development in Latin America: The Role of the FDI Surplus Upon Environmental Productivities

Review of Development Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the present study, we examined the impact of the net effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on biodiversity and ecological footprint productivity in 21 Latin American countries over a 32‐year period from 1990 to 2022. Additionally, we propose the hypothesis of ecological transition (ETH), which conceptualizes the asymmetric impact on ...

Identification and Characterization of the Gene Responsible for the O³ Mating Type Substance in Paramecium caudatum

Microorganisms
The process of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes starts when gametes from two different sexes encounter each other. Paramecium, a unicellular eukaryote, undergoes conjugation and uses a gametic nucleus to enter the sexual reproductive process.

World Englishes, heterodoxy, and applied linguistics

World Englishes, EarlyView.
Abstract It is understandable that many people find it challenging to adopt a positive moral position with regard to English and its role in the world. The language is used in many contexts and situations to prop up systems of discrimination and inequality, leading to negative material and symbolic outcomes.
