Co-option of ancestral stem regulators drove recurrent evolution of underground storage organs

Geophytes are plants that produce underground storage organs such as tubers, rhizomes, and bulbs, to facilitate asexual reproduction and withstand a myriad of environmental challenges. While the potato ( Solanum tuberosum L.) serves as the primary model for studying tuberization,...

Nitrate bioaccumulation, growth performance and survival of rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) in aquaponics with elevated water NO 3 -N levels

Aquaponics systems offer a sustainable method for the combined production of fish and plants, but they may lead to elevated nitrogenous compounds in water to satisfy plant nitrogen requirements. However, limited information is available on nitrate accumulation in fish flesh under...
