Rice stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values as potential indicators of watering and manuring regimes by Rubi Wu, Rubi Wu, Eric J. Belfield, Yu Dong, Shangzong Feng, Xiangdong Fu, Nicholas P. Harberd, Fan Yang, Michael Charles, Amy Bogaard

“…Previous research on early rice in the Lower Yangtze River basin (LYRB) suggested shifts back and forth over time between wet and dry field conditions, and some application of animal dung and/or human feces as fertilizer. In this study, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope analysis was conducted on grains from rice of heritage landraces and modern varieties grown in a glasshouse pot experiment with three watering levels and two manuring levels, and from recent rice fields in China and South Korea including paddy and dry conditions, and with variable manuring histories. …”

Pluripotent stem cells from the perspective of developmental potential and their characteristics by In-Won Lee, Sang-Ki Baek, Yeon-Ji Lee, Tae-Suk Kim, Bo-Gyeong Seo, Cheol Hwangbo, Joon-Hee Lee

“…This is a breakthrough in stem cell research because ethical concerns such as fertilized embryo destruction can be avoided. PSCs have tremendous potential in treating degenerative cells by generating the cells needed to replace damaged cells, which can also allow to generate specific cell types to study the mechanisms of the disease and create disease models that screen for potential drugs. …”

Non3 is an essential Drosophila gene required for proper nucleolus assembly by E. N. Andreyeva, A. A. Ogienko, A. A. Yushkova, J. V. Popova, G. A. Pavlova, E. N. Kozhevnikova, A. V. Ivankin, M. Gatti, A. V. Pindyurin

“…Flies heterozygous for Non3∆600 occasionally exhibit a mild reduction in the bristle size, but develop normally and are fertile. However, heteroallelic combinations of viable Non3 mutations (Non3197, Non3310 and Non3259) display a Minute-like phenotype, consisting in delayed development and short and thin bristles, suggesting that they are defective in ribosome biogenesis. …”
