Transcriptional repression of GTL1 under water‐deficit stress promotes anthocyanin biosynthesis to enhance drought tolerance by Noel Anthony Mano, Mearaj A. Shaikh, Joshua R. Widhalm, Chan Yul Yoo, Michael V. Mickelbart

“…Quantification of polyamines did not support a role for GTL1 in these drought‐responsive pathways, but this is likely due to the complex nature of polyamine synthesis and turnover. Our global transcriptome analysis suggests that transcriptional repression of GTL1 by water deficit allows plants to activate diverse pathways that collectively contribute to drought tolerance.…”

Influence and prediction mechanisms for discomfort and memory disturbance due to structure borne sound from a metro masked with fountain sound by Wang Qiaochu, Hongwei Wang, Cai Yangsheng, Zhang Yang, Yang Chenxi

“…While predicting the memory disturbance predominantly depended on the sound levels, and among the prediction models based on the sound levels, the predictive effectiveness of the energy summation model was comparable to that of the independent effects model. Furthermore, as global equivalent A-weighted sound level increased, the mitigation effect on discomfort became more evident, but its effectiveness in mitigating the memory disturbance gradually decreased. …”
