Cicer arietinum abscisic acid receptor PYL1 and glycine-rich RNA-binding, abscisic acid-inducible protein-like differential expression under induced draught conditions by Slishchuk Heorhii, Volkova Nataliia, Dilafruz Kholmurodova

“…This study focuses on the differential expression of two key drought- responsive genes: abscisic acid receptor PYL1 and glycine-rich RNA- binding abscisic acid-inducible protein-like in two chickpea genotypes, Desi PI598080 (non-drought-tolerant) and Kabuli Flip07 318C (drought- tolerant), under both control and simulated drought stress conditions. Results showed a significant interaction between genotype and condition for abscisic acid receptor PYL1, where expression increased in the drought-tolerant genotype under stress and decreased in the non-tolerant genotype. …”

A New Method for the Bisymmetric Minimum Norm Solution of the Consistent Matrix Equations A1XB1=C1, A2XB2=C2 by Aijing Liu, Guoliang Chen, Xiangyun Zhang

“…We propose a new iterative method to find the bisymmetric minimum norm solution of a pair of consistent matrix equations A1XB1=C1, A2XB2=C2. The algorithm can obtain the bisymmetric solution with minimum Frobenius norm in finite iteration steps in the absence of round-off errors. …”

Impact of tumor position displacement during end-exhalation breath-hold condition on tumor dose in lung stereotactic body radiation therapy using volumetric modulated arc therapy by Tatsuya Kamima, Shunsuke Moriya, Takeji Sakae, Hikaru Miyauchi, Yasushi Ito, Kenji Tokumasu, Yasuo Yoshioka

“…Background and purpose: In lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) using a breath-holding technique, displacement of tumor during breath-holding is rarely considered. This study used four-dimensional (4D) dose calculation with cine computed tomography (CT) to evaluate the impact of unexpected tumor position displacement during breath-holding on the target dose of lung volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-SBRT. …”
