Da Vinci's mischief: xylem conduits in the stems of woody plants do not furcate
Summary The hydraulic architecture of plants is often modeled as a ‘furcating’ network, in which xylem conduits proliferate in number toward the stem apex, analogous to animal circulatory systems. Yet whether furcation actually occurs within woody stems remains untested, despite major implications for carbon costs and hydraulic efficiency.

Abstract How can anthropologists ensure the accuracy of the statements they make in their publications, especially in an era of ever increasing budgetary and bureaucratic pressures that limit the duration of fieldwork? What should the role of language abilities be in this context and to what degree is it necessary to learn the language of the place ...

Schematic diagram of challenges and advanced strategies by CBP after thickness reduction. ABSTRACT The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) converts clean hydrogen's chemical energy into electricity and is vital for carbon neutrality. However, its development is limited by low volumetric power density and high cost.

microRNAs: new regulatores of biological function in Hevea brasilienis [PDF]
Fine regulation of gene expression is partially ensured by microRNAs (miRNAs) in response to external stimuli. They negatively regulate gene expression by targeting the cleavage or inhibit the translation of target messenger RN As (mRNAs).
