Flavonoids, the compounds that impart color to fruits, flowers, and seeds, are the most widespread secondary metabolites in plants.However, a systematic analysis of these loci has not been performed in Brassicaceae.In this study, we isolated 649 nucleotide sequences related to flavonoid biosynthesis, i.e., the Transparent Testa (TT) genes, and thei
Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) play essential roles in the replication, recombination and repair processes of organellar DNA molecules.In Arabidopsis thaliana, SSBs are encoded by a small family of two genes (SSB1 and SSB2).However, the functional divergence of these two SSB copies in plants remains largely unknown, and detailed studie
Vertebrate behavior is strongly influenced by light.Light receptors, encoded by functional opsin proteins, are present inside the vertebrate brain and peripheral tissues.This expression feature is present from fishes to human and appears to be particularly prominent in diurnal vertebrates.Despite their conserved widespread occurrence, the nonvisual

Peri-urbanization is a global phenomenon strongly linked to socio-demographic and settlement dynamics.Although peri-urbanization is a topic widely debated in academic literature, especially in the field of urban and regional planning, there is no universal definition, Backpacks and different types and interpretations of peri-urban areas can be foun
