THE PALEOECOLOGY OF MICROPLASTIC CONTAMINATION

The Paleoecology of Microplastic Contamination

While the ubiquity and rising abundance of microplastic contamination is becoming increasingly well-known, there is very little empirical data for the scale of their historical inputs to the environment.For many pollutants, where long-term monitoring is absent, paleoecological approaches (the use of naturally-accumulating archives to assess tempora

SDG712, a Putative H3K9-Specific Methyltransferase Encoding Gene, Delays Flowering through Repressing the Expression of Florigen Genes in Rice

Abstract SET domain group (SDG) proteins have been identified to be involved in histone modification and participate in diverse biological processes.Rice contains 41 SDG genes, however, most of which have not been functionally characterized.Here, we report the identification and functional investigation of rice SDG712 gene.Phylogenic analysis revea
