Observations of Unusual Daytime Range Spread F at Middle Latitude During the Afternoon Hours by Lehui Wei, Chunhua Jiang, Ting Lan, Wenxuan Wang, Hua Shen, Ercha Aa, Wengeng Huang, Jing Liu, Guobin Yang, Yaogai Hu, Zhengyu Zhao

“…We found that the daytime range spread F might be induced by the passage of ionospheric wave‐like structures caused by TIDs/AGWs. In addition, the seeding of TIDs/AGWs might be attributed to the stratosphere gravity waves over the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau, which causes the coupled of the atmosphere‐ionosphere‐thermosphere to significantly impact the ionosphere.…”

CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Editing of a <i>NODULATION SIGNALING PATHWAY 1</i> Homolog Alters the Production of Strigolactones in Sunflower Roots by Maria A. Lebedeva, Maria S. Gancheva, Maksim R. Losev, Sofia V. Sokornova, Oleg S. Yuzikhin, Anna A. Krutikova, Kirill V. Plemyashov, Lyudmila A. Lutova

“…Here, we used CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing in sunflower hairy roots for a specific knock-out of the gene encoding a GRAS transcription factor (HaNSP1a), acting as a possible regulator of strigolactone biosynthesis, a class of phytohormones known to induce the germination of broomrape seeds. According to HPLC-IT-TOF/MS analysis, the levels of orobanchol were decreased in the genetically modified roots with knock-out of the <i>HaNSP1a</i> gene, whereas, in contrast, 5-deoxystrigol levels were increased in the roots with <i>HaNSP1a</i> knock-out, suggesting the role of <i>HaNSP1a</i> in the regulation of the strigolactone biosynthetic pathway. …”
