Anatomical variations along the leaf axis modulate photosynthetic responses of sorghum and maize under different water availabilities. [PDF]
The middle part of C4 leaves is more anatomically and photochemically drought‐adapted than the apex or base. Water limitation did not negatively effect leaf anatomy and photosynthesis in sorghum, but reduced gas exchange and the thickness of leaf tissues in maize.

Seroprevalence of Protective Antibodies Against Influenza and the Reduction of the Influenza Incidence Rate: An Annual Repeated Cross-Sectional Study From 2014 to 2019. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Seroepidemiological studies provide estimates of population‐level immunity, prevalence/incidence of infections, and evaluation of vaccination programs. We assessed the seroprevalence of protective antibodies against influenza and evaluated the correlation of seroprevalence with the cumulative annual influenza incidence rate ...

Abstract Land degradation resulting from increased continental surface erosion is a worldwide and systemic phenomenon due to unsustainable human activities. Already fragile, the intertropical zone is likely to be further affected by climate change like increased aridity, an aggravating factor of soil erosion and land degradation.

Pest risk assessment of Elasmopalpus lignosellus for the European Union
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, the EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a quantitative pest risk assessment of Elasmopalpus lignosellus (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), the lesser cornstalk borer, for the EU. The assessment considered entry, establishment, spread and impact.

Background: There is increasing evidence of cross‐reactivity between allergens of close or distant species. The A‐RISC (Allergens'–Relative Identity, Similarity and Cross‐reactivity) index helps evaluate the risk of theoretical cross‐reactivity between proteins of the same family among different species.

Sorghum root epigenetic landscape during limiting phosphorus conditions
Abstract Efficient acquisition and use of available phosphorus from the soil is crucial for plant growth, development, and yield. With an ever‐increasing acreage of croplands with suboptimal available soil phosphorus, genetic improvement of sorghum germplasm for enhanced phosphorus acquisition from soil is crucial to increasing agricultural output and ...
