HLA PREFERENCES FOR CONSERVED EPITOPES: A POTENTIAL MECHANISM FOR HEPATITIS C CLEARANCE



Impact of rice GENERAL REGULATORY FACTOR14h (GF14h) on low-temperature seed germination and its application to breeding.

Direct seeding is employed to circumvent the labor-intensive process of rice (Oryza sativa) transplantation, but this approach requires varieties with vigorous low-temperature germination (LTG) when sown in cold climates.To investigate the genetic basis of LTG, we identified the quantitative trait locus (QTL) qLTG11 from rice variety Arroz da Terra

Changes in vegetation diversity and composition following livestock removal along an upland elevational gradient

European heathland habitats are cultural landscapes derived from previously-forested ecosystems.Heathlands are of significant conservation interest but have experienced prolonged degradation due to a range of factors including overgrazing by domestic livestock.There is growing recognition of the need to restore upland landscapes to produce a divers
