Auto‐Downregulation of the Florigen FT Production Prevents Precocious Flowering in Plants
This study shows that the leaf vein‐expressed FD complexes with the florigen FT to bind DNA motifs in FT promoter, which antagonizes CONSTANS‐mediated FT activation to feedback down‐regulate FT expression. This prevents an excessive induction of FT expression by inductive photoperiods, thereby precluding precocious transition to flowering in ...

Polymer tensiometers with ceramic cones: direct observations of matric pressures in drying soils [PDF]
Measuring soil water potentials is crucial to characterize vadose zone processes. Conventional tensiometers only measure until approximately −0.09 MPa, and indirect methods may suffer from the non-uniqueness in the relationship between matric potential ...

Effect of Biochar Application on Hydraulic Properties of Sandy Soil under Dry and Wet Conditions
Knowledge of soil hydraulic properties under dry (below permanent wilting point) and wet (from saturation to permanent wilting point) conditions is helpful for evaluating soil physical quality and modeling the movement of the substances (water and ...

Study of Soil Water Retention in Horqin Sand Land
Soil water retention curve (SWRC) of 0 ~ 100 cm at typical sandy lands of Horqin Sand Land, such as grassland, fixed dune and mobile dune, were measured by the laboratory methods, and the variation of this parameter along with sandy types and soil depths were analyzed.

Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Phosphate retention by soil in relation to waste disposal [PDF]
The disposal of large amounts of domestic sewage water and liquid manure, both containing dissolved phosphates, is often problematic. Discharge of these into (shallow and standing) surface waters is highly undesirable, as phosphate is considered to be ...

Soil-Water Retention Curves and Pore-Size Distribution in a Clay Loam Under Different Tillage Systems [PDF]
Tillage practices significantly impact soil structure, pore-size distribution (PSD), and soil-water retention curves (SWRC). The SWRC, which represents the relationship between soil water content and soil water potential, is important for various studies
