INTRODUCTION The global challenges of climate change, energy scarcity, and food security necessitate innovative solutions that optimize resource utilization while minimizing environmental impacts. Agrivoltaics crop production which involves the dual use of land for agriculture and solar energy production, has emerged as a promising approach to address these pressing issues. By integrating solar panels with […]
Introduction The frequency and intensity of drought episodes are increasing due to climate change, posing a serious threat to global food security. Wheat, one of the most extensively cultivated cereal crops, is particularly vulnerable to water stress; in severe cases, drought can reduce yields by up to 50% (FAO, 2022). Addressing this challenge is critical
Role of RNA Capping in Regulation of E. coli Metabolism Introduction RNA capping is a crucial post-transcriptional modification that plays a fundamental role in RNA stability, translation efficiency, and overall cellular function. In eukaryotes, the well-characterized canonical 5’ cap structure (m7GpppN) protects mRNA from degradation and facilitates efficient translation. However, recent advancements in RNA biology

Introduction Soil organic carbon (SOC) cycling is a fundamental process in the Earth system, influencing climate regulation, ecosystem productivity, and soil health (Lal, 2004). Current soil carbon models primarily rely on mass balance equations, which focus on carbon fluxes but overlook the critical role of energy transformations that occur simultaneously (Manzoni & Porporato, 2009). These

Introduction Symmetry breaking is a fundamental biological process that drives the development of complex structures from initial symmetrical forms. In plants, this phenomenon is particularly evident during flower development, where radial symmetry (actinomorphy) or bilateral symmetry (zygomorphy) emerges, contributing to the vast diversity of floral forms observed in nature (Coen & Meyerowitz, 1991). Understanding the
