Synaptic vesicle undocking induces low-frequency depression

Abstract Synaptic depression is often interpreted as reflecting depletion of the readily releasable pool (RRP) following exocytosis. Such a mechanism predicts little or no depression at low stimulation frequency, as RRP replenishment should then offset the loss of vesicles by exo...

Development and Field Evaluation of a Prototype Bacterial Inoculant for Cuban Rice Under Reduced Nitrogen Fertilization

Rice is a priority crop in Cuba, and bacterial inoculants could help sustain productivity under reduced mineral fertilizer inputs. However, evidence describing the main stages involved in developing these bioproducts in the country remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate th...

Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Potato and Tomato Responses to Botrytis cinerea Infection

Botrytis cinerea causes gray mold disease in numerous plant species, including economically important solanaceous crops. To investigate the molecular interaction between B. cinerea and Solanum tuberosum, we performed dual RNA-seq analyses of infected potato leaves at 24 and 72 h...
