Abstract Botulism is a severe and often fatal disease in equine patients worldwide. Clostridium botulinum is a ubiquitous soil organism which produces a potent neurotoxin resulting in neuromuscular blockade and flaccid paralysis in affected animals. Definitive diagnosis is often impractical or impossible, leading to diagnosis and treatment based on ...

ABSTRACT Flooding is a major abiotic stress that limits legume productivity and ecological resilience. Identifying variation in submergence tolerance among legume accessions is critical for developing climate‐resilient cultivars. This study investigated phenotypic and physiological responses to complete submergence in nine Lotus japonicus accessions ...

Climate adaptation and functional constraints drive pollen evolution in Apiales
Summary Pollen grains exhibit remarkable morphological diversity, shaped by selective pressures from environmental factors and mechanical constraints. Here, we investigate macroevolutionary patterns of pollen morphology in Apiales, an order of angiosperms with significant ecological and geographical diversity, to disentangle the roles of climate and ...
