Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Bridging the Late Antique Gap in Northwest Arabia: New Archaeological Evidence on the Occupation of Wādī al‐Qurā (al‐ʿUlā [AlUla], Saudi Arabia) Between the Third and Seventh Centuries CE

open access: yesArabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 2019, the Dadan Archaeological Project (CNRS/RCU/AFALULA) identified a Late Antique village 1 km south of ancient Dadan in the al‐ʿUlā valley (northwest Saudi Arabia). Three excavation seasons at this site (2021–2023) have uncovered a massive building constructed in the late third or early fourth cent.

Dissecting heat tolerance in rice mutants at the reproductive stage through phenotypic traits and SSR markers

open access: yesDiscover Agriculture
Heat stress is an increasingly critical threat to rice production, especially during the highly sensitive reproductive stage. This study aimed to identify heat-tolerant rice mutants derived from the variety Binadhan-17 using gamma irradiation through ...

New Results From the Pre‐Pottery Neolithic Site of Al Uyaynah, Tabuk, in Northwestern Saudi Arabia

open access: yesArabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Al Uyaynah is a low sandstone mound on an alluvial plain, long known for its extensive surface remains of stone‐built circular and rectangular structures. Following test excavations in 2012, more detailed excavation was undertaken in 2016 within one of the largest rectangular stone structures.

Variation In F1 Fertility Of Distantly Related Crosses Among Cultiveated Rice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
為探討栽培稻遠緣雜交F1不稔性之變異,本試驗以Silewh及臺□育3484與5個日本型品種及4個印度型品種進行7 ×7及6 ×6全互交F1及F2分離族群為材料,調查花粉稔性及種子稔實率。探討雜交不稔性之遺傳行為以及不同栽培時期對不稔性之影響。結果如下: 1. Silewah與日本型品種之雜交F1花粉稔性較與印度型品種之雜交F1高,第一期作也較第二期作高;種子稔實率也有類似之趨勢。而臺□育3484與印度型品種之雜交F1花粉稔性較與日本型品種之雜交F1高,第一期作也較第二期作高 ...

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

open access: yesArabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

A genome-wide associate study reveals favorable alleles conferring apical and basal spikelet fertility in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Kernel number per spike (KNPS) is one of the key factors affecting wheat yield, which can be significantly reduced by lower fertility or sterility of the apical and basal spikelets.

Development and validation of markers to improve heat tolerance in flowering stage of Laos elite rice cultivar [PDF]

open access: yes
Importance of the work: Rice is sensitive to high temperatures in almost all its growth stages, with temperature being a major factor causing poor seed-setting rates.

Breathing in Plants and Chaos—Cosmic Tree Events in Cameroon and Beyond

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary practices of tapping into the wisdom of ancestral trees are described through three entangled recent events lived within the context of Bantu practices in Cameroon. In the three instances, the steered or chance encounters with high potency trees were serendipitous telling moments which brought something new to the horizon.
