As much as 400 Tg of carbon from airborne semivolatile aromatic hydrocarbons is deposited to the oceans every year, the largest identified source of anthropogenic organic carbon to the ocean.Microbial degradation is a key sink of these pollutants in surface waters, but has received little attention in polar environments.We have challenged Antarctic
Abstract Systemic necrosis, induced by plant virus-derived elicitors, is considered as one of the most severe symptoms.It has never been reported that the elicitors encoded by wheat yellow mosaic virus (WYMV) can induce systemic necrosis in plant.In this study, we discovered that the WYMV-encoded 14K protein localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (
Insurance populations can provide a short-term safeguard for at-risk species.The goal for all insurance populations should be to maintain a high welfare, genetically diverse, self-sustaining population that is available for eventual reintroduction of animals back into the wild when it is safe to do so.However, many insurance populations in zoos are
