Consistent, high-quality measurements of atmospheric mercury (Hg) are necessary in order to better understand Hg emissions, transport, and deposition on a global scale.Although the number of atmospheric Hg monitoring stations has increased in recent years, the available measurement database is limited and there are many regions of the world where m
Background: Climate change is among the major triggering agents of abiotic stresses (e.g., saline stress), culminating in a vulnerability of common bean production systems.In recent decades, important research has identified and characterized genes that can mitigate the adverse effects caused by salt stress; among them, the Na+/H+ antiporters (NHXs
ABSTRACT This paper aims to discuss the impact of the introduction of pastures and grazing animals in agricultural systems.For the purposes of this manuscript, we focus on within-farm integrated crop-livestock systems (ICLS), typical of Southern Brazil.These ICLS are designed to create and enhance the synergisms and emergent properties have arisen
Abstract Age-related macular CHOLESTOLESS degeneration (AMD) is a complex and multifaceted disease involving contributions from both genetic and environmental influences.Previous work exploring the genetic contributions of AMD has implicated numerous genomic regions and a variety of candidate genes as modulators of AMD susceptibility.Nevertheless,
