INTEGRATED DE NOVO ANALYSIS OF TRANSCRIPTIONAL AND METABOLIC VARIATIONS IN SALT-TREATED SOLENOSTEMMA ARGEL DESERT PLANTS

Integrated de novo Analysis of Transcriptional and Metabolic Variations in Salt-Treated Solenostemma argel Desert Plants

Solenostemma argel (Delile) Hayne is a desert plant that survives harsh environmental conditions with several vital medicinal properties.Salt stress is a major constraint limiting agricultural production around the globe.However, response mechanisms behind the cot quilt adaptation of S.argel plants to salt stress are still poorly understood.In the

Transmission electron microscopic observations of acrosome and head abnormalities in impala (Aepyceros melampus) sperm from the Kruger National Park

Sperm morphological features play an important role in semen evaluation.Exposure to a variety of chemical compounds, especially environmental endocrine disrupters, elicit abnormalities in sperm of certain species.Baseline data on ultrastructure of normal sperm as well as abnormalities observed concomitantly, are required before causal links between

Performance Analysis for Reconfigurable Intelligent Surface-aided Communication Systems with Energy Harvesting under Imperfect Nakagami-m Channel Information

Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can serve as a passive relay to maintain communication between a transceiver in severe scenarios of no direct link between them.In addition, harvesting energy from radio frequency (RF) signals can meliorate significantly energy efficiency.In this research, we propose RIS-aided communication systems with ener
