Abstract One strategy for increasing the genetic diversity of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) involves the introgression of beneficial alleles from related and wild tetraploid species. Progress in this area has been limited due to undesirable outcomes associated with whole genome interspecific hybridization. To minimize genetic influences from other

ABSTRACT Flooding remains one of the most frequent and destructive natural hazards globally, causing major economic and social losses each year. In response to increasing climate extremes, Nature‐based Solutions (NbS) have emerged as a sustainable and multifunctional approach to flood risk management (FRM), integrating ecological, social, and ...

Abstract Introduction Freshwater ecosystem restoration must be rapidly scaled up to address climate change and biodiversity loss, as reflected in the 2024 European Union (EU) Nature Restoration Regulation. Achieving national and international restoration targets is constrained by a persistent funding gap.

Abstract INTRODUCTION SORL1 encodes the sorting receptor SORLA, a major genetic contributor to Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although SORL1 loss disrupts endosomal trafficking and promotes amyloidogenic amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing, the functional consequences of specific missense variants in human neurons remain unclear.

Lectotypifications and taxonomic changes in the holoparasitic Orobanchaceae
Based on further extensive studies of specimens in various herbaria, lectotypes are designated for many taxa of holoparasitic Orobanchaceae. In particular, 47 names in the genera Boschniakia (incl. Xylanche), Cistanche, Orobanche, Phelipanche and Phelypaea are lectotypified.

Abstract This study examines the complexity of disaster response management and the role of local institutional leadership. Drawing on a comparative analysis of the May 2023 floods in two Emilia‐Romagna provinces in Italy, it explores how local leadership influences the outcomes of crisis management within a shared institutional and hazard context ...

Reviewing the Levee Effect: From Theory to Practice
ABSTRACT Ongoing development in flood‐prone areas has intensified focus on flood‐risk management strategies. Constructed flood protections, like levees, lead to a false sense of security. Resulting development behind levees paradoxically increases flood risk, referred to as the levee effect.

Are Senders of eWOM Biased? The Role of Personality and Collectivism
ABSTRACT The transmission of biased eWOM reduces the usefulness of online reviews to consumers and, if negative, is likely to affect a brand's image adversely. This research aims to investigate how traits, attention‐seeking, and taking‐the‐lead make senders of eWOM subject to either the positivity or negativity bias, and how the cultural value of ...

Minor Allele Frequency Filtering Can Strongly Bias Uniqueness Estimates Within and Across Species
This study provides early evidence of minor allele frequency filtering biasing uniqueness estimates. Low filtering thresholds (e.g., 1%) do not necessarily guarantee high reliability. Relatively unique populations can appear to be typical at thresholds of 5% and 10%.
