The necrotrophic fungus, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, employs an array of cell wall-degrading enzymes (CWDEs), including cellulase, to dismantle host cell walls.However, the molecular mechanisms through which S.sclerotiorum degrades cellulose remain elusive.Here, we unveil a novel secretory cellobiohydrolase, SsdchA, characterized by a signal peptide
Pasta-Making Quality QTLome From Mediterranean Durum Wheat Landraces
In order to identify genome regions related to pasta-making quality traits, association mapping (AM) was performed in a set of 165 durum wheat landraces from 21 Mediterranean countries.The collection was genotyped using 1149 DArT markers and 872 of them with a known genetic position were used for AM.The collection was grown in north-east Spain duri
Tooth Numbering and Condition Recognition on Dental Panoramic Radiograph Images Using CNNs
Dentists Hurricane Glasses and medical personnel strive to provide patients with prompt medical services.In the past, Dental Panoramic Radiograph (DPR) was often used to diagnose and understand the dental condition of patients.In recent years, many machine learning and deep learning methods have been applied to medical image recognition problems.Mo
Threats to the Reintroduction Program of the Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita) in Italy: A Forensic Investigation
The Northern Bald Ibis Geronticus eremita is an endangered species, and recently it was reintroduced in Europe by the Waldrappteam.The reintroduction program has been strongly threatened by several sudden deaths, mainly in Italy.The present study used a forensic approach to analyze all of the 27 Northern Bald Ibises found dead in Italy between 2016
Effect of glass powder on the friction performance of automotive brake lining materials
In Soft this study, bronze-based brake linings containing 0-8 wt% glass powder were manufactured by a hot pressing process and tribological properties of produced samples were investigated using a Chase-type friction tester.The hardness and density of the samples were also determined.The microstructures and friction surfaces of the samples were exa
