The effect of some heavy metals on oats in a pot experiment with three different soil types
An account is given of a pot experiment comprising all combinations of 5 heavy metals (cadmium, cobalt, lead, mercury and nickel), 3 rates of each metal (0, 50 and 250 mg/pot), 2 rates of lime, and 3 types of soil (clay soil, peat soil, and sandy soil ...

ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Reclaiming Anatomy as Method: From Morphological Reasoning to Clinical Relevance
ABSTRACT In recent decades, molecular biology and omics technologies have profoundly reshaped biomedical research, with genomics, proteomics, and other high‐throughput approaches dominating scientific agendas and funding priorities. Within this molecular paradigm, however, the anatomical sciences face an epistemic and institutional tension: morphology,

PEK14: A Kinesin‐4 Necessary for Male‐Derived Fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana
ABSTRACT Of the 61 kinesins annotated in Arabidopsis thaliana, many are still without assigned function. Here, we have screened an insertional mutant library of Arabidopsis pollen‐expressed kinesins for fertility defects. Insertional mutants for three kinesins showed a significant reduction in seed set.
