Inheritance of the genetic construct for RNA-silencing of the γ-kafirin gene (gKAF1) in the progeny of transgenic sorghum plants [PDF]
Sorghum is one of the most important cereal crops in drought regions of the Globe. However, a number of constrains, such as poor nutritional value compared to other cereals, which is caused by resistance of its grain storage proteins (kafirins) to ...

MQGeometry-1.0: a multi-layer quasi-geostrophic solver on non-rectangular geometries [PDF]
This paper presents MQGeometry, a multi-layer quasi-geostrophic (QG) equation solver for non-rectangular geometries. We advect the potential vorticity (PV) with finite volumes to ensure global PV conservation using a staggered discretization of the PV ...

Mechanotransduction in Prokaryotes: A Possible Mechanism of Spaceflight Adaptation
Our understanding of the mechanisms of microgravity perception and response in prokaryotes (Bacteria and Archaea) lag behind those which have been elucidated in eukaryotic organisms. In this hypothesis paper, we: (i) review how eukaryotic cells sense and

Shock-Impacts and Vibrational g-Forces Can Dislodge Bacillus spp. Spores from Spacecraft Surfaces
Mars spacecraft encounter numerous g-loads that occur along the launch or landing vectors (called axial vectors) or along lateral off-axes vectors. The goal of this research was to determine if there was a threshold for dislodging spores under brute ...
