Improving the integrity and reproducibility of research that uses antibodies: a technical, data sharing, behavioral and policy challenge by M. Biddle, P. Stylianou, M. Rekas, A. Wright, J. Sousa, D. Ruddy, M. I. Stefana, K. Kmiecik, A. Bandrowski, R.A. Kahn, C. Laflamme, E. M. Krockow, H.S. Virk

“…Antibodies are one of the most important reagents used in biomedical and fundamental research, used to identify, and quantify proteins, contribute to knowledge of disease mechanisms, and validate drug targets. Yet many antibodies used in research do not recognize their intended target, or recognize additional molecules, compromising the integrity of research findings and leading to waste of resources, lack of reproducibility, failure of research projects, and delays in drug development. …”

Effect of Combined Urea and Calcium Nitrate Application on Wheat Tiller Development, Nitrogen Use Efficiency, and Grain Yield by Chao Wang, Haixing Cui, Min Jin, Jiayu Wang, Chunhui Li, Yongli Luo, Yong Li, Zhenlin Wang

“…Optimizing nitrogen (N) sources has the potential to improve wheat tillering, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), and grain yield, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study hypothesizes that combining specific N sources can increase zeatin riboside + zeatin (ZR + ZT) content in tiller nodes and maintain a higher ZR + ZT/gibberellin A7 (GA₇) ratio, thereby promoting tiller development, enhancing NUE, and increasing yield. …”

Melanosis as a factor reducing grain quality in proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) by Т. V. Kulemina

“…A possible effect of millet grain shape on the level of disease manifestation has not been clearly explained, but there is evidence that the degree of floral scale closeness and thickness as well as the grain size do enhance mechanical protection of seed from infection. When floral scales are tightly closed, coarsehulled fine grains are as much protected from exposures as possible, which may add to the plant’s defense against the infection. …”
